[triffictits]

and i love them

[glasgowlassHatesthetwuntingDM]

Oh i love cons!

I have 2 pairs ( just turned 31) and so does my DS( 9 months) though not the same ones, that would be cruel!

[mothersmilk]

mine are green i love them i got them off e-bay for £12 they were practically new very chuffed

[OllieWollieWoo]

I've seen some gorgeious ones in a shop in Holland - dark grey but in a mottled sweatshirt like material if that makes sense - 60 euros over here tho!!! Would be lovley for the winter.....

[nicknameidlike]

i am 46 and have a pair of ox blood Red converse they are gorgeous to look at but blooming uncomfortable to wear i can only wear mine for very short journeys it is my wee toe they hurt

[OllieWollieWoo]

Think these are the ones I saw:
here

If link doesnt work - type dark grey converse in the search box!

[AnyFucker]

well, I'm in my 40's and I have 4 pairs

I love 'em

I am the only one in my circle of friends/acquaintances but I don't care

I will still be wearing 'em in my 80's

[cocolepew]

Doubleones are in Office and Schuh, I'm after a grey and lime green pair, but I already own white, blue, black, white with a picture of faces running around the back and brown leather boots .

[MuffinToptheMule]

OllieWollieWoo. I used to have the sweatshirt ones. They are very cosy and comfy.

[fairydust]

next do them as well

[triffictits]

I love those double ones, I want those now

[KnickKnack]

I am still drooling over the double ones but cannot find anywhere to buy them, no one delivers to Ireland

[cookielove]

is there not an office in ireland? or erm sole?

woohoo i have something some one else wants this has never happened before

[KnickKnack]

dont think they is an Office anywhere near me...have only ever heard of them on here Online they have the double tongue one, but not the raspberry double everything one (ditto Sole)

plus most of your online stores don't deliver to Ireland grr

[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.

[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?

[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]

off to check out next's versions.

[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.

[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!

[MaggieBeauLeo]

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

[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

[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.

[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.

[KnickKnack]

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

[cocolepew]

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