Glad to hear you had to order them from the US, as I have been trying to find them here (online) and am about to resort to a US order...

Have you ordered yet tutter? Shall we share an order/shipping costs?

SoupDragon · 16/09/2008 11:49

Oh, I only ask because one of the first sites that came up had some in a 6.

I tried to find some in the summer with no success. Got some really snotty looks from sales assistants when I asked for them too. Wanted some in grey, even ebay didn't have any.

zappos are good

Tutter · 16/09/2008 12:05

just not in a 6

I have grey ones
but they are 3 years old
or maybe 2

StellaDallas · 16/09/2008 12:10

I get mine from Zappos. Have to get them sent to a US friend to post on though, as they will not mail to Yurp.

southeastastra · 16/09/2008 12:13

can't you just get normal ones and take out the laces?

CountessDracula · 16/09/2008 12:15

here they are in uk in light grey
I have darker grey
They say men's
Aren't they all the same?

Dropdeadfred · 16/09/2008 12:17

oh....why no laces...?

StellaDallas · 16/09/2008 12:19

They are elasticated - so they LOOK like they have no laces, but actually are slip ons.
I have apple green ones.

Tutter · 16/09/2008 12:19

didn't see those tbh cd

wouldn't have appeared in my search as i used keywords "converse" and "slip" (they're called slips not laceless, offishully)

anyway, i got the colours i wanted (cream, and brown)

OP posts:
Tutter · 16/09/2008 12:20

i loved them but they were gaping open

previously, i had cream

OP posts:
CountessDracula · 16/09/2008 12:21

orangina · 16/09/2008 15:01
