Ok, so what colour converse do I buy and do they come up big or small?

[bodiddly]

I haven't had a pair of these since they were in last time round when I was a student (God I am showing my age here). What colour do you all have ... was looking at the navy but wondering whether it is a little unadventurous ... or maybe the pink? I would be wearing them with jeans so I guess it doesnt really matter. My ds LOVES pink and is always over the moon if I wear anything pink - bless him! Also, do they come up big or small? My feet are 4-5 depending on the fit. And finally ladies .. where is the best place online to buy them .. have just had a quick look on amazon - is there anywhere cheaper? Thank you in advance!

Ooooo Meg they are cute

[MegBusset]

I have got these and practically live in them -- I find them very comfortable.

[sagacious]

I have navy lo tops (go very well with jeans)
I have cream lo tops (not too sure about these but I have a major aversion to white trainers)
And I have beige camoflage ones (with no laces) which are ok

But must admit I wore them to death last summer and I'm sure my bad back was caused by them .. they are very flat.

I now live in fit flop billows (very untrendy looking)

[bodiddly]

me too Technoprisoners .. I had a black pair whilst at uni

[soyabean]

I love them too - feet quite wide but they fit me perfectly. have been wearing tehm for, er, 20+ years and whenever i have tried cheaper alternatives amn always disappointed. IThey are too cold for me in winter but will be coming out soon. Blue is my favourite colour but have some flowery ones too.

This has made me very nostalgic - I used to wear them at university in the 80s - we called the hi tops basketball boots.

I really think the silver are ok with boyfriend jeans

[kickassangel]

i have pale yellow hi top with little ladybirds flying on them, and white daisies.
sadly, the lining is black, so if they get wet they look awful
i also have palin red lo tops, which need replacing

[weepootle]

I live in mine too. I wear cream lo tops and have some burgundy ones which are nice too. I'd like some light grey, some khaki and some white. I think cream will always be my fave though.

I was talking about colours with a male friend of mine and said about the silver after MadameCastafiore's suggestion and he told me I would like mutton dressed up as lamb

I've got a pair of silver converse boots which i bought on ebay from Hong Kong.

They are lovely and go really well with my jeans and the best bit for me is that I've never seen anyone else with a silver pair!

[BikeRunSki]

I have been wearing them for years and years (more than 20....), shoes and boots, they are classic, comfy and understatedly cool - but not great in winter.

I currently have red ones, white ones and brown leather PF FLyers (which are very similar). They were the only shoes I was comfortable in when I was heavily pg last summer (luckily we have a very casual dress code at work). Might get navy or hot pink this summer. I luuurrrvveee them. I loved the "stars and stripes" ltd edition ones they did last year, but they kept selling out of my size!

I would say that they come up marginally small.

[MadameCastafiore]

tHERE IS A 15% OFF CODE - THINK IT IS a547 WHICH i USED LAST TIME i SHOPPED THERE.

Sorry DS been on the PC and can't be arsed to retype that as have to run to get DD from school!

[bodiddly]

that said I have just looked at the silver leather converse and the silver boden equivalent and I quite like them (maybe I really am getting old) - but they are nearly £50!

[bodiddly]

Ive never been sure about silver or gold shoes .. they always seem a bit pat butcher .. (well gold at least) do they really look nice?

[MadameCastafiore]

Get silver ones if they have them - leather not fabric though.

I have the silver boden pumps and they go with everything and even look quite smart with jeans and a blazer - makes me sound terribly old!

[bodiddly]

yes I quite like the light grey with the pink trim too!

[Grammaticus]

They are narrow (but so are my feet). They do squelch. I have cream and silver and covet light grey.

TK Maxx have some in at the moment for 20 quid-the denim with fur lining and the grey/coral double lace combo. Ebay is also good for lightly-used pairs.

I love Converse. I absolutely live in 'em. I am a standard size 6 and they fit fine. They are comfy for me but I always wear flat shoes anyway.

At the moment I have a khaki pair with flames up the side, a washed-out green pair, a white pair with colourful graffiti and a reliable classic pair of navy that looks fab with jeans.

These are all hi-top, the ankle support is comforting. I find the low style less supportive (but still cool).

[noddyholder]

wear with those hideous little sockette things the first few times and they will be fine.

[MrsMattie]

I had a pair two summers ago. They looked lovely (I had light grey ones, went beautifully with 'boyfriend' style jeans). Unfortunately, they cut my feet to shreds .

[bodiddly]

shame you have to pay for returns on amazon or I could order a few pairs and see which fitted and looked best!

[EldonAve]

Everyone round here is wearing them at the moment

[noddyholder]

I have an olive green pair which are lovely.Also white and navy are good in summer with white jeans etc
