Glad to hear you had to order them from the US, as I have been trying to find them here (online) and am about to resort to a US order...

Have you ordered yet tutter? Shall we share an order/shipping costs?

I tried to find some in the summer with no success. Got some really snotty looks from sales assistants when I asked for them too. Wanted some in grey, even ebay didn't have any.

zappos are good

I get mine from Zappos. Have to get them sent to a US friend to post on though, as they will not mail to Yurp.

oh....why no laces...?

They are elasticated - so they LOOK like they have no laces, but actually are slip ons.
I have apple green ones.

didn't see those tbh cd

wouldn't have appeared in my search as i used keywords "converse" and "slip" (they're called slips not laceless, offishully)

anyway, i got the colours i wanted (cream, and brown)
