Just got these in sale at £39!!! The ankle boots are £49 I was tempted to get both !!! The low rise trainers are really lovely - I got the taupe (Liberty) - delighted with them.

Yeah it's like having a fake rolex.

PrimalLass · 08/04/2014 14:50

They were £150 originally, and if I remember correctly from way back, they are all made by the same place.

I really wanted a pair of Ash's and thought I couldn't justify the cost so I got an imitation pair. It was never the same and I really love my Ash ones now. I have since bought another two pairs.

It's what ever people feel happy with but to come on bragging that you have got some look alikes instead of saying I've got some nice Kurt Geiger wedge trainers seems pointless tbh.

PrimalLass · 08/04/2014 15:00

I saw that, but your two pairs were very different. These are the same (except for the zip), and made by the same place - wish I could find the article about it when they first came, out but it was about 2010 I think.

Who is bragging?

flipchart · 08/04/2014 15:01

I don't know?Who is?

PrimalLass · 08/04/2014 15:04

You are the one who said it.

flipchart · 08/04/2014 15:09

Completly confused now. What are you on about? I'm the one that said what?

I'm not bragging about anything. Nobody here knows me if they walked past me on the street and I kicked them on the shins with my favourite trainers so what the fuck is there to brag about?
Nobody knows how many shoes I have and I don't care.

Anyway there are Ash trainers down to between £80 and £100 quid on the Office website.

You said this.

flipchart · 08/04/2014 15:17

Its not bragging though. It was typed with a what ever attitude.
If the post was 'Guess what there is a bargin with the Kurt Geiger shoes' I would have though great, I'll have a look but it wasn't it was look at the shoes that pretend to look like Ash's that leave me Confused

PrimalLass · 08/04/2014 15:22

Am bored now.

MikeLitoris · 08/04/2014 15:23

I've seen a pair of YSL shoes that I love. £520. almost every high street shop has an almost identical version for about £500 odd less. Should I not buy them because they aren't YSL?

Although I get the feeling your just on a wind up anyway.

flipchart · 08/04/2014 15:24

Me too!!

flipchart · 08/04/2014 15:27

mike i wasn't on the wind up. Like I said, I really really wanted a pair of Ash and kept putting it off because I thought they were too expensive for what they were and I got a cheaper pair but it was never the same. When I got my first pair I was made up and they were so comfortable. The pair that I got ended up in the charity shop and the Ash have been better value as I have worn them virtually every single day for work, weekends and casual going out.
I went on to buy a couple of more pairs in the Office sale I love them that much.

AmberNectarine · 08/04/2014 15:30

Ash trainers are basically just a knock off of Isabel Marant ones though, aren't they? Everything is derivative, there aren't a lot of original concepts out there in the fashion world now.

And anyway, not everyone can afford Ash so it's a bit shit to come on sneering that they're not as good.

flipchart · 08/04/2014 15:36

Honestly I wasn't sneering at not being able to afford Ash. You clearly haven't understood what I meant. I didn't feel like I could justify the price and thought they were expensive for what they were initally'

Anyway I've told people where there is a sale on for Ash at the moment if they were interested.

The orginal post wasn't about Isabel Marant's but clearly compares to Ash which is how the subject got on them

PrimalLass · 08/04/2014 15:39

The Office sale a) doesn't have the same hightops and b) doesn't have them as cheap as £49. They are the same, except for the zip and the Ash logo. Exactly the same.

Saying that to come on bragging that you have got some look alikes instead of saying I've got some nice Kurt Geiger wedge trainers seems pointless is sneering in my book.

flipchart · 08/04/2014 15:43

Well you have a different book to me and are quick to take offence then.

I got my Ash hightops from the Office sale and they had some for round the 50 quid mark then. The other styles were round the 80 to 100 quid mark,

flipchart · 08/04/2014 15:44

Anyway, thought you were bored with me!

PrimalLass · 08/04/2014 15:53

It's this or work.

flipchart · 08/04/2014 15:59

With me it's this or make tea!!

peasandlove · 09/04/2014 04:31

Hush you two and return your size 41 metallics so i can buy them Wink

Sleepyfergus · 09/04/2014 13:49

Got mine, size 39 and fit is fine but they look quite wide. Think I will wear them around the house for a couple hours and decide after that.
