AnyFucker, your reminded me of my Grandmother. She wore Converse (but boots) well into her 70s. She had them in about 5 colours.

[KnickKnack]

5 (5.5 would work too)

[cookielove]

erm i would send you mine but i am to selfish and would also charge £1000 (Am broke at the moment)

what size are you?

[KnickKnack]

ebay have 1 in my size...postage is £13

[cookielove]

too many c's?

[KnickKnack]

oops coco...confusing you with cookie

[cookielove]

this ebay page has loads but don't know where they deliever

[tullytwo]

Try Amazon- I got my pair off there and I am in Northern Ireland so possible they will deliver down south too?

[cocolepew]

I haven't got doubles ones or I would, of course, give them to you KK.

[cocolepew]

No to skinnys and converse if you're over the age of 17, or are in Green Day.. Skinnys rolled to ankle look ok with them.

[KnickKnack]

coco..they only seem to do the double tongue, not the ones you should give me have

[BadgersArse]

am seriously eyeing up silver ones

just not sure abotu feet looking like flippers in stright or skinny jeans

[cocolepew]

There's an Office and Schuh in Belfast, they both do the double ones.

[KnickKnack]

thanks Pilgrim, have no problem getting converse, it those special ones I can't get.

[HarryB]

I'm planning on getting some at the weekend. I really fancy the jeans, converse, blazer look for casual slummy yummy mumminess heaven in autumn.

[PilgrimSoul]

Knickknack, I'm in Ireland and a converse wearer. I got mine in Vienna shoes. There is a branch in Blackrock, Bray and Arklow.

[OnlyWantsOneDoesntLikeDM]

I love them too - have a pair of pink boots and a new pair of raspberry double uppers fab and yes you can stick them in the washing machine x x x

[MaggieBeauLeo]

Yeah, they were nice. Next only do boring colours.

[KnickKnack]

maggie, I several hours north of dundrum
I've no trouble getting hold of converse (I have a red pair of hi tops at the moment)...its those cool raspberry/conch double ones that Cookie linked to that I crave!

[CurlyhairedAssassin]

Used to love a pair of Converse trainers I had in my 20s. But the ones that have been linked to in this thread just look like the kind of deck shoes you see in Cotton Traders leaflets in Sunday supplements.

[MaggieBeauLeo]

off to check out next's versions.

[MaggieBeauLeo]

Boden deliver their rip off £50 imitation converse runners to Ireland. That'd be about ?70 + p&p tempted?

I like their silver and leopard skin ones though. wouldn't spend that much though!!

[MaggieBeauLeo]

There's office in dundrum. where are you knick knack. I love them too, I saw somebody wearing them in dundrum today funnily enough. hassled looking woman with loads of children but her clothes were great.

does david cameron have a pair?? ooo. I'm too late really aren't i?

[KeithTalent]

I've never been able to wear them since I saw a picture of David Cameron wearing them on holiday a couple of years ago...turned me right off them.
