Converse shoes have been around for an awful long time now, yet their popularity does not seem to wane at all. Other trends come and go; labels and brands are established and collapse, yet Converse remains. What is the secret to this amazing longevity? The answer is simple, or rather simplicity. Converse shoes are straightforward sneakers that look great and do a job and they are inexpensive when compared to many other types of footwear available. This means that Cons will keep appealing to young and old alike for many years to come.

The Converse company is now over a century old, having begun back in 1908 in Massachusetts. This makes it one of the oldest fashion brands still to be successfully trading today.
