Answer 2

If your Converse were $25 they were most probably fakes or you got a REALLY good deal. Normally Converse All Stars retail for around $70-$90 although you can find some good deals on the real ones for about $40. The fakes are also okay I think. I have a black pair that was only $10 and have lasted me a year. I also have the original purple Converse that purchased for $80. Personally I prefer these ones but it depends on the person. Hope this has been helpful. xx

Answer 3

Because they are designed by the "Almighty Chuck Taylor".
(hope you detected my sarcasm there)

The place where they are the cheapest is www.Zappos.com

I bought a pair from there a couple of months ago, and its a great place to get them because all converse sizes are the same, so if you know your converse size, you can be sure that the ones you buy online will fit you perfectly. Go to a regular shoe store and see which size fits you best, then buy them from zappos.
They also have many converse designs that you can get only online.

Since Nike bought them out, the price has skyrocketed. The cheapest converse I've been able to find were $38. Online deals are no good because you have to pay for shipping, which will put you back another five to ten dollars. Just save your money, Converse shoes are very good shoes to own because they last forever.

Answer 5

You're not going to find a pair of converses under $25.00... unless of course they're used.

Answer 6

Converse cost like $35, that's pretty cheap to me considering I wear Nike Shox. You must be pretty cheap, if you don't want to pay under 40 shams for some shoes.

Answer 7

I wish I knew why shoes are so expensive. we have them made in malaysia/china etc....where people make $1 a day IF they are lucky. the matericals cost maybe 5 bucks, and shipping maybe 2 bucks a pair........nike, converse etc are getting rich.....off the despair of others......for that reason I do NOT buy name brand shoes. I cannot wear them knowing how they treat the workers!!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

because there a brand of shoes that ppl like
its all in suply in demand
if we stop buying converse the price goes down because there not selling but the more ppl buy the more they no that if the raze the price were still willing to pay for it
its just like any other company like hollister&&old navy

Answer 9

that's probably the cheapest you can get them unless they're on clearance somewhere. I'd suggest just buying them. Or getting some look-a-likes from somewhere else. $25 isnt THAT much for a pair of shoes..

Answer 10

Fashion trend. Once an athlete or celebrity wears something, fans notice and buy the same stuff, thus increasing the cost. Converse used to be ghetto sneakers and look at them today...
