Perfect plimsolls?

24 replies

Can anyone help me to find something similar to these but in a darker grey?
I know there are loads of this type of thing, but I like the rounded toe, and all the other plimsolls I've seen seem to be a more pointed toe.
I'd also consider a ballet flat type thing with a rounded toe, in dark grey.

Converse?

I have a charcoal pair that are darker- but they do come up a bit narrow (I'm a skinny feet type though)

Yeah I like the converse ones, and they would remind me of my youth Grin but not sure I like the narrowness of them. I'm thinking of getting the rocketdog ones and dyeing them!

I love these Bensimon ones, love love love them. Nostalgia or summat like that. Bring me back to childhood. Aren't they lovely? But they're not cheaper than your eBay onesSad.

I think Next might have done something v similar last year or 2 summers ago for about a tenner. So keep an eye.

I like your Rocketdog ones a lot.

Have a look here too. Possibly not as nice as your Rocketdog but you might get the right colour?

lurking I've looked at the bensimon ones and quite like them but find the rubber toe a big. Perhaps I'm looking for attainable perfection!

Grin supergas and campers don't have a toe bit, I Ike a toe bit, just not too big a toe bit

What do you folks think about these. Not plimsolls but similarly summary and I quite like the shape.

if anyone is still around and interested in my fascinating Hmm plimsoll hunt, I think I've decided on these or these which do you like best?
I'm erring towards the ballet style as I like to be able to slip shoes on and off without faffing, always good with a child in each arm...

I much prefer the regular plimsolls (not the ballet ones) do I do get the relief of a slip-on with a child in each arm....

went for the regular ones (and got them in the sale), I'll do the laces loosely! Thanks lurking for your contribution to my plimsoll decision!
