With a little inspiration from David Letterman, I pose the question, when you throw a converse shoe into the pool, does it float?
Can I hear some suggestions or ideas?

Re: Do Converse float? Anyone?
G'day and printer,
I treated your question as it would have been treated on the T.V. show "Braineaics"... (Hell I can't even spell it...) I placed an old hi top in a laundry tub of water ... Yes it floated..(sorry no pool)... Next I placed a house brick on top... The chuck sank...
Whick only goes to prove that yes, a Chuck taylor will float unless sunk with a brick.. :icon_cool I did not have the Braineaiac girls handy so I could not find out if a Chuck will float after being blown up... Next week I shall try shooting one with a .357mag then a 12 gauge shotgun when I go to the range... Hopefully it will sink...:icon_idea DO TRY THIS AT HOME.. But don't walk on water in chucks with a couple of bricks up ya arse...
Walk softly on the Earth people...

Re: Do Converse float? Anyone?
Well, yes and no I suppose. I remember getting bored and wearing my own chucks in the pool, I took them off, and saw if they floated. Of course, they sank as if you threw a coin in the water. But I think if they are dry, it will stay afloat with very few problems.
My guess on why it happens? Perhaps due to the fact that when wet, the canvas material is heavier than how much the rubber can keep afloat. But when dry, it is light enough to stay above the water. Of course, I've only done this with Chucks, not anything else or any other imitation Chuck.
