When I was 18, I bought my black basketball converse shoes. Now I am 25, and still wear them time after time. I use them not only in hall, but on tarmac as well. I am very satisfied with my "black-boots" as they are just in great condition even after 7 years. It costed me 70 US dollars, but it's absolutelly worth it, like I have not had any other shoes lasting even 3 years in such a good condition, by wearing them on regular basis. Though I have heared that the new models are not so durable but still are ok if it concerns quality and typical specific style only converse has.
If You have Your own experience with converse, I will be gald to hear it.

i had my red/maroon chuck taylor for about 6 years now. i been wearing it like almost everyday, i love it. i know its no longer in a-ok condition but still it serves my feet its purpose. plus, even if chuck taylor sneakers are dirty it still looks fine. that's my opinion. but eventually, through the course of time, i bought 3 more pairs so that i could explore other colors and designs. :)

i have an original pair of high tops from the 70's i still wear,and a newer pair,same color.i will say the toe area glue seems better now-i had quite a few when i was growing up that would break at the sides where you bend your toes after awhile,it doesn't seem to do that anymore.

I have a pair in the closet that I have had for a number of years, they are still like brand new, but I don't wear them on a regular basis.
However, I do have a pair of Nike's that are 10 years old now this year. They just keep hanging in there. They have been demoted to lawn mowing shoes, but they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned!
