where were converse sneakers made
The Converse All Star and Jack Purcell and other Converse classics are made with the vulcanized shoe making process. Marquis Mills Converse opened the Converse Rubber Shoe Company in Malden, Massachusetts in 1908. The company was a rubber shoe manufacturer, making vulcanized rubber soled footwear for men, women, and children. In 1915 the company began manufacturing vulcanized athletic shoes for tennis and other sports.
