Remembering from my last Converse purchase a while back, they had a Converse tag on them which I think had a hologram on it...does it have that? It was a while ago when I bought my last pair and these ones are on their way!

I've never had Converse before so I can't compare, but the rubberised strip round the toe, the label on the back of the shoe and the logo stamp on the side all look a bit cheapy.

These are from Amazon, NOT a marketplace seller, they would be strung up!! :eek: This is my fourth pair that I have bought and they all look the same! If you don't like Converse, send them back but even if you think the quality isn't to your liking, £9 is very cheap for a pair of shoes. I think I am very nearly offended, you got a bargain and now you are complaining. :rotfl:0 -

So should they have a hologram label attached, as mine didn't? Would explain £9 price!0

No, I have bought a few pairs and they have never had that label (even in the 80s), if Amazon were selling them cheap as they had knock-offs without hologram labels how much trouble do you think they would be in??? They are the genuine article at a bargain price, what is wrong with everyone???0 -
Converse are made in factories in vietnam, china etc. They will never be consistent in quality. £9.... bargain!
