Theyu were $14.95 which my mom sometimes thought was too much for shoes however every now and then shey'd splurge. If not the All Star's shey'd by the Converse Coach's which cost $10.00 and did not last as long on the asphalt basketball court - I'd wear out that spot in the ball of my foot on the court! Loved the red shoes - matched our Jr. High and High School colors!!

A friend of my oldest brother had a purple pair...we girls thought they were so cool, the boys...not so much! My kids love Converse All-Stars and once in a while I can find a good deal in the clearance section at the Converse store. A couple months ago I bought 2 of my girls satin (I know...not our All-Stars) slip-ons for $2.97 a pair!!

I have sixteen pair, but still my favorites are my low-top black ones. They go with everything!

They were inexpensive, comfortable, and covered your socks when you pegged your jeans. Plus you could draw on 'em! _________________ Matthew Wayne Selznick Chief Evangelist http://www.retroland.com
