I have a voucher for mr shoe, have got to use it online as they closed our local branch. Thought I'd buy some canvas shoes for summer, so which do I go for?

I have wide troll feet.

superga

rocket dog

Also is it crazy to buy white ones? I live in the countryside and am a bit of a messy bugger.

I like both.

My rocket dogs only survived one summer though. Supergas are heavier duty, and can go in the washing machine.

My feet are wide ish,.I find both these makes fit nicely.

I prefer the supergas ones.

They're both nice but I like the Supergas best. I'm planning to buy some grey ones, they're lovely. Supergas are absolutely huge though - I am size 6, and tried size 5 on in Schuh the other day but they were slightly big and Schuh don't do half sizes so I'm going to go to the Supergas shop in London to try 4.5.

I have a white pair of Supergas and I love them. They survived three weeks of walking in Australia and are still going strong. I found them comfortable and I have wide flat feet.

I think, also, that the Supergas have better cushioning inside. They are quite comfortable to walk in.

but agree that they are quite roomy (which I like). I have two pairs (different styles though) in a 7. They are larger than I would usually like, but my feet swell up a bit in summer anyway - so I would prefer them roomy.

Great, I was leaning towards the supergas ones actually so you have made my mind up! Plus I clocked that Alexa Chung is advertising them so maybe they are a bit trendy.

A couple more questions, can you put them in the washing machine?

I have swollen feet right now because I'm 8months pg, I'm normally a 5.5 so shall I go for a 5 or a 6? I'm thinking 6 because I do have quite wide feet - but Saurus do you have wide feet as you've sized right down.

Thanks!! Excited now.

I have those supergas, I have wide feet and they still pinched today after a days trekking round the shops.

Saurus72 · 06/04/2014 20:32

I have normal-wide feet, but the size smaller than my normal one is still too big. Sorry, not too helpful Confused

Supergas are very comfortable (as someone who can't wear Converse as they give me blisters). I am a 5.5 and get 39 but they feel a bit big. You could probably get away with a 38.

CointreauVersial · 06/04/2014 22:46

Ohhh, I love the leopard Supergas.

BeaLola · 07/04/2014 00:03

I would go for Supergas. Have a dark grey pair and they are very very comfy. I am 6.5 in normal shoes and buy a 39.5 size in them. Have washed in washing machine and will buy more. Quite fancy a dark violet pair.
