My trusty Converses have finally been binned.
I had the really flat ones and would like something similar but a bit more comfortable.

Any ideas?

What about some cute Bensimon

Feminine but trainery. Vintagy but not silly.

PF Flyers, try Schuh. Very comfy and a little smarter than Converse.

I like some of those Tatty but for some reason those pictures make me laugh!
Away to google PF Flyers.
Thanks Ladies.

Really like the PF Flyers, the Superga ones are a bit too chunky I think. Although I probably found the Converse uncomfy because of the thin sole.

More Converse! I adore mine and will probably have to be surgically removed from them when I die.
I use highly attractive surgical-pink insole thingys because I have a dodgy knee. I find that they help with Converse and other dead-flat shoes.

I second the vote for more converse. You can never have too many. Although I did wonder if it was possible when I pulled 8 different ones out of my wardrobe before i found a pair.

They all look like wannabe Converse to me.
Did you buy those thin soled ones? Get the proper ones.
