Who loves Converse Trainers

41 replies

FabMum1 · 02/10/2009 16:59

I've been thinking about buying some converse trainers but can't decide which colour to buy.
Can anyone recommend places to buy them ?

Amazon is a good place to start, they sometimes have offers on certain styles. Or on the High Street, try Office or Schuh.

Office

TheHeathenOfSuburbia · 02/10/2009 17:12

Just got a pair in Schuh recently... Cloggs were cheaper but didn't have the colour I was after - they are based in Brum but online too.

MissAnnesley · 02/10/2009 17:14

Mmmmm I have nice jadey green ones faded over time and have just got navy ones which I hope will fade in same way.

I'm not mad about the patternedy ones.

PheasantPlucker · 02/10/2009 17:14

I love them, faves are purple ones.

giddykipper · 02/10/2009 17:15

Navy blue converse are the Official MN Shoes

Oumasrusks · 02/10/2009 17:20

I love converse and have 3 pairs: navy (bought from Schuh which has free delivery and very good service), red (bought from Cloggs via Amazon) and beluga (from Amazon). I like all three colours, but I guess it depends on what colours you usually wear. Navy is a good one as it goes with a lot.

dexter73 · 02/10/2009 17:35

I love them - have bright pink (Schuh)and cream (Amazon)!

StripeyKnickersSpottySocks · 02/10/2009 17:46

I've got a lovely pair, the high ones. Minea are maroon. Got them online.

squeaver · 02/10/2009 17:48

CybilLiberty · 02/10/2009 18:01

sparklesandwine · 02/10/2009 18:03

bought the black ones from Next and the sparkly ones from somewhere germany ages ago

Sagacious · 02/10/2009 18:05

I have navy, and red and cream and a sort of camo laceless.

I'm probably going to get a dark grey if its eve in stock

(I buy from Office or Amazon (good for bargains))

thegrammerpolicesic · 02/10/2009 18:17

I've got silver patent and they are fab. Love them.

MissAnnesley · 02/10/2009 18:19

Oh I do want those shiny silver ones .

moodlumthehoodlum · 02/10/2009 18:21

I do, but I'm just about to send my first pair (lovely grey sweatshirt ones) back to rubbersole, because they are too large. Really want to replace them but don't think I can get them in my size any more.

Sourdough · 02/10/2009 18:24

I luuuurvve my grey ones. But I bought them in the US and have never seen them the same in UK.

You can find you wear them a bit too much, though. I started to feel a bit High School by the end of summer, despite pushing 40

thegrammerpolicesic · 02/10/2009 18:26

Moodlum - they were hideously uncomfortable for about the first ten wears but worth it in the end. They also came up massive size wise so be careful to try them (I went mail order and ended up with a size smaller after returning them)

thegrammerpolicesic · 02/10/2009 18:27

Oops sorry that was for Miss not Moodlum

FabBakerGirlIsSURVIVED · 02/10/2009 18:28

I only have one pair but intend to buy more. I have the black ones with silver sequins.

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 02/10/2009 18:29

I love mine too.
I have the high basebal style.
In pink check.
Have had Navy, White, Red, Red check...

My Little brother has the style that is like a boot in a boot and I keep trying to steal them.

cookielove · 02/10/2009 18:32

i have a pair of double layered bright pink on the outside and light pink on the inside, with pink and white laces 2 sets one of each colour, and they were from sole

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 02/10/2009 18:37

cookielove where from

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 02/10/2009 18:37

Sorry didn't read properly, I was so excited you see

pop1973 · 02/10/2009 18:40

Love them but find them really expensive. Would buy if I had any spare money. Most spent on the children now.
