Converse Shoes and Boots
In 1908, the Converse Shoe Company began manufacturing durable rubber shoes. By 1918, “Chuck Taylor,” “Converse All-Star” shoes were setting the pace. Converse expanded creating high-top sneakers in a variety of colours and styles with a bold star that became the identifying trademark for Converse shoes. In addition to famous “Chuck Taylor” sneakers, Converse is also well known for “all star” shoe collections such as the “Jack Purcell” line. The company offers a wide selection of t-shirts, colourful wrist watches, sun glasses, and other lifestyle accessories.
Converse sneakers are an American tradition with a proud heritage. During World War II, the company provided rubber-made products for army and air force servicemen. The company played a major role in world history.
