I just can't wear the same shoes as my 13yo son. He would be shamed.

I did see some lovely sparkly silver ones the other day...

They are sooo comfy and look nice with jeans. I did wonder if I was too old to wear them but i love them. They are £34.99.

here are mine itemlistings.ebay.com/sdcsrp?fl=110422037613&product={query&sconstraints=IncludeSelector%3DDetails%2CSellerInfo%26ItemType%3DAllFixedPriceItemTypes%26 ItemSort%3DBestMatch&xm&siteid=3}

they are double layered not just an extra tongue, but double laces and shoed if that makes sense

I wear converse everyday. I have done for the last 6 years. I absolutely love them except when I stand in a puddle. You can buy them on the high street from Office and Shuh.

Cookielove- My little sis has a lovely babycham bag.
She would be mortified if I purchased anything from the babycham range, as she thinks it's bad enough that we both have converse ( she is 14)

I'm not in my late 30s. I'm in my early 20s.

I don't know where to get the double ones. I only saw a pair the other day for the first time. I imagine that Office would have them as they usually stock so many different styles.

I have converse, Dp has Converse and so does MIL.

I love my Converse too (and I'm 32). I have a navy pair and a red pair, and want to get a black pair this month. They are so comfy!
