Sneakerheads - Converse Shoes

By Danny Gore


It was in 1908 in Maldon, Massacchussets when Marquis M. Converse opened the Converse Rubber Shoe Company. Also known as the Boston Rubber Shoe Company, it has been making shoes since the early 20th century, providing winterized rubber soled footwear for men, women and children. 2 years later, Converse, being a rubber shoe manufacturer, produced 4,000 shoes daily and in 1915 started manufacturing tennis shoes.

In 1917, Converse All-star basketball shoes were introduced, a real innovation considering that the sport was only 25 years old. The big break came in when it was endorsed by basketball player Charles H. "Chuck" Taylor as his preferred shoe of choice.

Converse Boots Provide All the Comfort, Function and Durability

For most of us, when we think of Converse shoes, we think of those old sneakers we wore as teenagers with the signature look and style. Those old Converse sneakers came in both under the ankle sneakers and as high tops with that special star symbol on it. We do not think of boots. However, there are many different styles in Converse boots that have all the comfort and fissionability that is a signature of this shoe company.

Converse Shoe Company was started in 1908 as a company that made rubber shoes. Ultimately, Converse went on to produce perhaps the most popular classic shoe of our time. The shoe? The Converse All Star. When most people think of Converse, their minds immediately jump to the All Star sneaker that has been so popular for several decades. However, Converse also produces boots. Converse boots offer the same amount of comfort and wearability as its sneakers.
