To RON & Mel, CVE has little chance of recovering back to it's recent runup price. Was close to going Chpt 11 (again) reported the Boston Globe a week or so ago. It cannot compete (alone) with NKE/RBK. VANS is interesting. Maybe a merger or takeover will happen. My "Chuck Allstars" are arch killers. Sorry Mel ,but their is nothing like Nike Airs.

I too buy Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars for several ethical reasons: 1) The workers who make the shoes in the U.S. are treated and paid well (at least in comparison to workers for Nike or Reebok) 2) The shoes are canvas instead of leather--no animals are killed 3) The shoes are cheap; this fights elitist and classist attitudes. It also means people won't be ripped off. In addition to these ethical reasons they're comfortable, cheap, and cool looking. Although I support Converse shoes, I don't think its a good investment. Not too many people think like I do. Derek Coons
