Tell me why I need a pair of Converse

Never had them before but do wear Boden plimsolls.

But I've been looking at Office's website and I'm tempted! So sell them to me - what colour should I go for and what can I wear them with?

Prefer low styles.

I have these ones and 7mo dd has thses ones but I try not to wear mine at the same time as she wears hers Grin

I quite like those gnocchi - I really like the ones with the thicker sole and the black line going round.

I've just woken DH up laughing at the thought of spookey wearing turnips.

They are for teenagers. University students at the oldest.

Nah they're not uncool. At least I hope not - I live in them Grin. Superga is trying way too hard unless you are under 19.

They go with everything. Deal done as far as I'm concerned Smile

Cos they go really well with Rommel makeup. Especially if you're in your mid forties and have nice hair. Apparently.

"and 7mo dd has these ones"

And why would a baby need shoes in the first place?

pictish · 21/07/2012 11:29

They're not shoes Bun they're soft bootees.

Hulababy · 21/07/2012 11:39

I like them but can't wear them much as I find them far too narrow. I don't even have particularly wide feet either.

10y has a pair of these: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007THY8IC/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 which she loves!

My husband bought me these for my birthday yesterday. I love them. My last pair of converse went to trainer heaven recently as the soles were worn and they were falling apart, but I wore them a lot. And they were 5 years old.

I live in Converse, I only have three pairs, black, pink and yellow/white double uppers. They are so comfy.
I'm going to get DD a couple of pairs for her birthday next month, as she borrows mine all the time, and when she grows out of them, I'll get themGrin

I have these which I love and are comfy and much easier not having to faff with laces.

Had to import from Germany though to find them!!
