Old School Shoes. I've been playing basketball for almost 10 years and I've never had a pair of shoes as good as the old school "Chuck Taylor Converse" basketball shoes. They're cheap, durable, and the best shoe for any real ball player!

You'll be Asked Where You Found These. These were required wear for "gym class" in the 50's/60's -I know. I never gave up on them as they're still handy to wear in those gyms/weight rooms where other shoes are not permitted. They wash easily, and are versatile. Granted, if you wear them daily for the street, they wear out quick and the soles will separate. However, they're unbeatable for their intended purpose, and they wear well for amphibious activities if you need boat or coral shoes. Buy them whenever you find them, and I recommend Zappos.com. And, people will ask, "Where'd you find those?"

The Best! These are the best sneakers ever made. My favorites are the high BLACK canvas Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars. I've been wearing this style for a long time and I still think that they're the greatest. So comfortable and sharp looking!

Converse Rocks! I heard recently that Converse was going out of business because people wern't buying their shoes. WHAT!!? Converse is the ultimate Amercian shoe. They rock! I'm keepin' mine so Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam can sign 'em. Anyone, who is debating buying this shoe or not, I say you should.

The greatest shoe on earth! How do those poor, unfortunate souls who've never owned a pair of Converse All Stars survive? My red Converse high-tops make me so happy every time I put them on. They're fun, quirky, and incredibly comfortable. There are only two problems with these shoes, as I see it: 1) they're lousy winter shoes, so if you live in the Arctic wastelands of, say, Michigan, be forewarned. 2) They do fall apart more quickly than most shoes, particularly if you're as hard on them as I am, but the comfort and style and overall happiness of the shoes is worth it. These shoes are Good Times, USA.
