Seeking navy blue boat-type plimsoll things for active Easter holiday ...

Just wondered if any of you out there who are adept at internet shopping could point me in the right direction as to where to start to look for these please ... ?

I've found some navy blue plimsolls on the Brora site and they will have to do if nothing better comes along, but I was really looking for something which is still flat/plimsoll shaped but has a thicker sole ...and is perhaps a bit sturdier but not too clompy.

Don't even know where to start to look and need them for forthcoming 'active' holiday involving boats and cycling ... . Thanks in advance for any pointers!!

Fat Face sometimes, am wearing some actually but they are old.

Thanks - those are great recommendations - I'm so out of touch I'd never even heard of them .

Fat Face's are good but in this instance - looking for something fairly classic. Converse looks like distinct possibility. Found their Benelux site (I'm in Belgium) and they don't appear to sell on-line (on-line shopping is in the dark ages here!) but they have a list of stockists in Brussels so will go hunting at the weekend.

Thanks again. Will definitely be using those two sites again.

Boden, Cath Kidston and Toast have the style not sure whether availlable in navy though.

They have a nice Indigo tennis shoe at toast.co.uk (also a pump type one aswell i think)

Oh the Toast ones are just right!! And they have them in my size - thick of sole - AND they deliver to mainland Europe ... in fact .. might go mad and by a pair in red as well...

Thanks again everyone - it really is appreciated - and have discovered yet more excellent internet shopping sites to plunder in the process ....
