My husband and I have been wearing converse since we were children so naturally when we had our own children that's what they want to wear. Over the years we have noticed their quality go down hill however we stuck with them since our whole family loves the style. I ordered 2 pairs in February for my son and I and noticed today that the sole has separated on his. He's not an overly active kid and even if he was I'd expect them to last more than 2 months.  Extremely disappointed!
