hi tops

red

Laces crossed as that was how they came. Had a panic that I was weird wearing them like that (I'm such a follower not a leader!) so checked converse website and they are all crossed on there so I must be OK!

These are a recent buy and my first pair - I love them and keep getting lots of friends asking were I got them from so they must be making a return?

For cheap ones - saw that TK Maxx had some cream ones in last week for £19.

Vulgar- £1.50 you wouldn't find bargains like that in charity shops round here

Wilts · 20/08/2009 10:21

Ruby- Mine are randomly comfortable as well. I am wondering if I really need the next size up, but am in denial about mybigfeet that

random · 20/08/2009 10:23

Must show my oh so cool 16 year old ds this thread but he has started wearing Vans so he might have been reading MN already

crankytwanky · 20/08/2009 10:26

Boots (will be buying white shoes soon)

Black (wear them for work with wide legged black strides.)

29

Can't be bothered to go and look.

melmog · 20/08/2009 10:43

Oh marvelous!

Dh insists I'll look ridiculous in them as I'm 37. I lived in them til I was in my early 30's then sort or gave up when my beloved purple ones gave up the ghost.

Going to show him this thread then get me some more.

I like the hi tops with jeans and low tops with shorts and skirts.

The brighter the better!

And black.

sunfleurs · 20/08/2009 10:44

Shoes

Converse Star Player EV only, Grey and white this year, same ones in Grey and Pink last year here

38

Straight across

VulgarAchesButCanRun5k · 20/08/2009 10:45

Yes I am a very lucky lady to find such a bargain but you won't envy the fact that my aged legs look at bit "cankley" in them.

BTW DS looks heartstoppingly cute in turquoise hi tops and also grey lo top slips.

Dh wears cream lo tops and he has another dark pair but I can't remember what colour they are (unobservant).

nappyznozoneisalazyarse · 20/08/2009 17:51

I cant decide between olive, bright blue or red. Do you all wear the mens style ones as oposed to the more pointy womens ones?

MegBusset · 20/08/2009 20:18
