Another Converse All Star fan? http://classracer.com/classforum/ima...ons/icon14.gif

I've worn them longer than I can remember. But durability has gone downhill since they almost went out of business and started outsourcing overseas. But it seems I saw a site a few years ago that showed overseas manufactured shoes as well as domestic. But guess which were much more expensive?http://classracer.com/classforum/images/icons/icon8.gif

I would make a small fortune in drag racing. Of course I would be starting with a large fortune.......

That figures Myron, but at least I can lay claim to having a pair of the last "American Made Con's" , that were in the colors of Denver, Co's "South Senior High School"...purple & white!!! Moreover, I bought them back in January of '87, and they're in mint condition (and I store them in their original box), because I've only worn them 5X's, and I made certain it was only to special casual affairs (starting with my 10yr reunion)!

I digress that I tried some of those "Chinese" made Converse's, and I would've been lucky to get 6 months worth of life out of them, where the "American" versions lasted twice as long (if not longer)!!!

Thus, if there are some Converse shoes that are "All American" like they all should be, I'll pay whatever reasonable price they come with...otherwise I'm heading off to the "New Balance" shoe line...how about you Myron? BTW, what shoe stores carry the American Converse's, because I don't frequent stores much?
