After reading the "Pissed Consumer" reviews I had to take the time to write my own I'm Pissed Off Too review my own Converse All Star "shoes". My love affair with my dear Chuck Taylors could be nearing an end. What kind of fusing is the company using to put their product together? If the number of Pissed Consumers is any indication, they had better make some quick modifications! My present pair of converse mids are separating at the heel, the toe, AND the side just like my last pair of high tops. I have two additional pair in my closet: (black monochrome leather doing fine) and a Nike touted insole high top starting to come apart. I've been wearing Converse products since 7th grade basketball 48 years ago. WHAT HAPPENED?
