White canvas slip on lace-ups

I bought a cheap pair from New Look but they're too big and not that comfy www.newlook.com/uk/womens/footwear/shoes/white-canvas-lace-front-trainers/p/853296310

This is the style I want though - kind of trainer ish but slip on.

Does that sound like any you know of? I live in Toms usually so fairly similar to that I guess!

Converse have a ballet slipper type of canvas pump that has laces at the front which or may not be decorative.

Yep, converse ballet, I’m wearing them now. The laces are purely decorative.

I dunno why I didn't think of converse 🤦

I have these and like other Skechers they're super comfy:

I was going to suggest the Skechers B Cute plimsolls. I find them pretty comfy.

@livingonpurpose @WhereAreWeNow @cocksstrideintheevening What's the sizing like on Sketchers compared to converse? I'm 6 in Converse and Toms, but a 6.5 in Next shoes....

I’m normally a 6-6.5 and ordered both sizes to try. Ended up keeping the 6. So I reckon you’d probably be the same.

livingonpurpose · 01/09/2023 19:41

Sorry - to add, I’m not sure what size I am with converse as haven’t had a pair in a long time.

Fab, thank you!

You can get elasticated laces. I used to have them on a pair of Skechers over 20 years ago.
I had the curly ones like these

Sizing is very odd on Skechers @Margo34 . I'm a 6.5 usually but I got those Skechers in a 5.5 and they fit. Definitely size down.
