Hi tops - maroon
Low tops - white (non-optical, ie off-white)

Laces straight across - I'm sure they came like this, as I'm far too lazy to have relaced them.

Low tops with skirts, shorts or crops, hi tops with trousers. The benefit of the hi top, teenage or not , is that, should one's trouser leg ride up, it matters not what one's socks look like.

I've just seen double upper hi tops on Amazon that I really really need ... curse this thread.

Both shoes and boots!!

Navy, black, pink, white, skull patterned, double tongues.

30

Shoes-laces straight as not done up
Boots- crossed to keep on

heymammy · 19/08/2009 18:21

p.s. anyone seen any online bargains? Was aiming for alot less than £30?

cocolepew · 19/08/2009 18:22

I bet teenagers are pissed off at all these 30+ year old women wearing shoes that they think they're so trendy in .

Ds1 (12) has his laces straight. It would require far too much effort on his part to re lace them

KnickKnack · 19/08/2009 18:49

Converse website for drooling etc

BornToFolk · 19/08/2009 18:52

One pair all white shoes with pointy toes that I mainly wear to work.
One pair black shoes with floral pattern.

Both laced criss-crossedly.

I used to be a big fan of the boots but prefer shoes at the mo.

Am 32 and need more Cons!

AvadaKedavra · 19/08/2009 18:53

Boots or shoes? hi-tops all the way

Colours? cream and black, coveting a red pair next

What age are you? 36

Laces crossed or straight across? straight across, x looks crap and not at all how Cons should be worn!

KnickKnack · 19/08/2009 18:54

nappyznozoneisalazyarse · 19/08/2009 19:11

were for £7.99 - are they practical - in honesty i have been wearing white lace up plimsolls with big converese type rubber front from school shop for a fiver. I walk through them in about 8 weeks so completely false economy but ok for the summer. Are these practical for winter though?

KnickKnack · 19/08/2009 19:25

not practical for winter in freezing wet Ireland I need big warm boots and 2 pairs of socks, sometimes fluffy insoles too!

KnickKnack · 19/08/2009 19:27

I think Converse are worth the money, I lived in my last pair for about 10yrs before they bit the dust (lived in sunny south england so wore them year round)

Sheeta · 19/08/2009 19:27

cocolepew lol, mine are only a size 5, but just look clown-shoe like on me ~shrugs~

wasn't intended to be insulting!

nappyznozoneisalazyarse · 19/08/2009 19:28

giddykipper · 19/08/2009 19:30

petalpower · 19/08/2009 19:32

cocolepew · 19/08/2009 19:35

Sheeta .I'm a 5 but I find Cons come up a bit big.
