You can't.

Believe me, I tried everywhere, asked in every shop, they do babies, and then older children. Nothing for the in-between. Odd, but true (IME anyway, and I tried everywhere, in 3 big cities.)

office do them online if that helps?

DirtySexyMummy · 03/06/2008 19:54

Also - at office, if you order online and they don't fit, you can return them to the shop rather than having to post them back. i had to do this as I was not sure what size DS would be either.

brimfull · 03/06/2008 19:54

well don't mind similar style but they have to have real laces not fake

I got Ds pairs at John Lewis and JD Sports.
He's around a size 13. No problem finding them for him.

Does have to be Converse?
I bought my boys a pair each of Converse-style shoes from H&M for £5.99. They love them and they've got elasticated laces so easy to get on and off.

LyraSilvertongue · 03/06/2008 20:09

Ah, just seen your laces post. No good then.

hifi · 03/06/2008 20:12

the office ones come with an extra different coloured pair of laces, dd has tomato red, they do a lovely blue.
