Lace-free Converse alternatives

[evertonmint]

I'm now 33 weeks pregnant and my Converse, which I live in at this time of year, are becoming increasingly tricky to tie up so I'm looking for a lace-free easy-on alternative.

I walk up to 2 miles at a time for school/nursery run so it needs to be at least as supportive as Converse (preferably more so as I'm getting a bit heavier on my feet!)

Any suggestions?

Cath Kidston do some that don't have laces?

Also Converse do non lace sneakers. It's worth having a look online.

vans slip ons here

My slip on Vans are the comfiest shoes I've ever had. It's like walking on cushions! They're really easy to get on without having to bend down

they do kangol slipons at sports direct, they had red ones for £15 last time I went in, similar to Vans but slightly less....cool

Thanks. I like the style of the Cath K but I don't really do her patterns. Will check out Vans - anyone know how they size relative to Converse?

I've just spotted these in Clarks too

Vans run true to size, whereas converse come up a tad small for me. I'm a 5 usually and wear a 5 in Vans, which fit perfectly, but a 5.5 in Converse.

Ps just saw your Clarks link. I've got the leopard print Vans which are almost identical, have a look on the Office website as they're exclusive to there atm (sorry I'm on my phone so can't link!)

The laces on Converse Dance don't need tying. The shoes just slip on and off.

When I hurt my back I laced my converse with white elastic, voila slip ons.

Hugo - you are a genius! DH bought me a pair of gold Converse at Christmas which I love and now I can carry on wearing them! :o

I might still buy some Vans anyway as I've budgeted for them this month :)

Toms? They are v comfy

you So deserve Vans

My SIL has Toms and recommended them and I do like them, but the soles look a bit thinner than Converse/Vans and I was a bit concerned about 2 miles walking at a time plus a heavy baby-laden weight landing on them IYSWIM. I might try a pair though as I think they'd be great for summer.

They are. Lovely & lightweight. They are quite comfy on the sole but now you mention it they do wear out a lot quicker than Vans. I forgot how hard wearing they are, wore the same pair each day for years when I was a student!
