I bought a pair of Batman Converse shoes back in 2005/2006. I think I wore that original pair almost everyday for the past 3-4 years and they had finally begun to wear out. Luckily while surfing on eBay, I found an auction for a new pair.
The new shoes came in yesterday (04/18/2009) and just in time too. If you look at the older one there is a hole that gets bigger everyday on the outside heel.
I really like these shoes...hopefully the new pair last as long...
