Last pair of shoes I bought were some old people brand of tennis shoe I bought from a thrift store for 2 dollars, they have lasted me pretty much all of 2005 and into 2006 now. _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

I've got some red ones. They last me a pretty long time, considering how cheap they are. They are excellent lounging/walking/running/biking/skateboarding shoes. They are also great for slipping on any surface with ease. |

I designed some shoes for myself on the Converse site. I can't wait until some little girl gets to work on them, jeez.  _________________

I only like the high tops. I have a pair of black ones which I got for $20 and they have held together very well, considering the abominable weather conditions I walk around with them in. _________________ To Write Love On Her Arms the world is poor because her fortune is buried in the sky and all her treasure maps are of the earth. |

I am posting here because I love to converse. I laugh at anyone who buys something because of a brand name. JD _________________ "Well, hopefully that's our job, to strap rockets onto everything." - Adam Savage, Mythbusters |

I find converse highly uncomfortable and overpriced, given their make and material. I remember, back when I was 10, my parents purchased a pair of Nike's for me, which I tore up through everyday normal use. It took me about a month to go through the shoes. Then I found out how Nike was employing child labor through those Weekly Readers, and ever since I've refused to purchase Nike. _________________ signed: Omygosh, Emperor of Shmo **the turtle stamp of approval** www.soulstrum.com |

Some people see the good side of Child Labor. I think it's horrible...but you have to consider... without jobs...what would these kids do? starve? Their countries don't have the means to provide them jobs. So we go over there, and to some "exploit" them. But regardless, a family of 5 making not much money. Is a lot better than a familly of 5 not making ANY. I think the larger issue is with the country. I think we should help them use their resources to build their own economy. THEN, Industrialized countries won't be able to exploit, The people will have other/better job opportunites. I wear converse. Why? Because I like them. But if someone doesnt buy them because of Nike and child labor I respect that. |
