Journeys is good. They lower to like $35 a pair around Christmas time. They have every color and pattern imaginable. They even had the band ones for Nirvana and The Ramones a few years back.

Last year I got a pair of Hi-Top canvas sneakers,Airwalks-the old style black and white ones -from Payless,for just $22.00.They didn't come with insoles so I took the supports from a pair of New Balance running shoes I had and I was good to go.I wear them every day and they are holding up really well after over a year.BTW personally I wouldn't buy Converse because they are owned by Nike and Nike still hasn't cleaned up its act with regard to the use of sweat shops.

They are still listed on several human rights and labor conscious websites such as Students Against Sweatshop Labor as using sweatshop labour,all one has to do is Google Companies Using Sweatshops and Nike is there as are Walmart,Hanes,Abercromby and Fitch a host of other "respected" companies.Just look up Nike on Wikipedia and get a chilling lowdown on Nike about how the CEO wwho gave 30 million to his alma mater and withdrew either all or part of it later when he found out that they were taking a stand against sweatshops especially shoe companies.
Converse was taken over by Nike several years ago without fanfare(more I'd saw to avoid Converse facing Boycott too) as were Bauer hockey equipment company and a few more.
Although Nike has finally caved under international pressure and have made moves to improve worker's conditions they are still far from ideal and at the pace they are going it will be quite some time if ever that things will be viewed as suitable to the rest of the world.
