Lost my last pair when dd3 was playing with laces, me falling asleep, and she threw one 'away'. Unfortunately we were on the top deck of a Calmac ferry at the time, so bye bye Cons .

I have a rip off gold pair on their last legs, and a boring black pair that I bought in a hurry and are a size too small.. I need some more. I'm thinking navy. Always laces straight. I'm 39.

Shoes, Dark brown and white. Cannot remember about laces despite wearing these shoes nearly every day. (Can't remember colour of any carpets in my house either. Observation not my strong point.)

Age: 37.

Got into Converses late but am a passionate convert. Who cares if they are not actually designed for running or any kind of sport? They are perfectly designed for slobbing around suburbia on the school run.

plus3 · 19/08/2009 21:50

low tops - always - will put DC in high tops
cream - although want a dark blue pair
