Navy Converse are the Official Trainers of Mumsnet.

I also wear PF Flyers which are similar but leather.

I love my converse, but quite like superdry as well.
I was really excited when superdry opened at our outlet village recently, only to find it didn't have any footwear

cookielove · 28/02/2010 18:38

oh you should buy the silver sparkly ones, you won't regret it

I wear classic adidas

i braved superdry the other day and got a funky pair of yellow and blue ones, they are like converse, but as the 6 year old shop assistant told me "they're two years old, that style" so not exactly high fashion. I like.

southeastastra · 01/03/2010 09:07

i have lots of these

piratecat · 01/03/2010 13:00

southeastastra, yep thats my babies! But they are very cool in that colour.

joliejolie · 01/03/2010 13:52

I have this Fly London pair and I love them! The blue is gorgeous. A bit pricey for canvas, but they are so comfortable and are a bit funky!

I have the same pair in all leather in green and have worn them all winter.

I also have a pair of Superdry...blue floral...that I love in the summer.

I just bought silver converse style in M&S kids, they go up to size 6 and only �£15

FabMum1 · 01/03/2010 14:00

I love my converse. Ive got a grey pair which go with just about anything. I am currently looking to purchase more but the selection is so huge I can't decide which ones.

southeastastra · 01/03/2010 14:00

piratecat, you also get extra stripes in different colours, so you can change them when you fancy

MarthaFarquhar · 01/03/2010 14:03

I like those SEA

I love the look of converse, but they let the rain in something rotten, and I live in England's rainiest city .

WithMomentsOfMildPeril · 01/03/2010 14:22

Rocketdog slip on canvas types for me

nicolamumof3 · 01/03/2010 16:02

are con's comfy tho? i keep hearing not? i need comfort i walk everywhere!

CiderIUpAndSetIFree · 01/03/2010 18:46

Converse are quite narrow, so better to try them on before buying if you've got wide-ish feet - I can't wear them at all

I can wear some PF Flyer styles though, and they do have nice thick bouncy soles which is great.

Also like the Adidas Superstars - in fact I must be due a new pair of those

nicolamumof3 · 01/03/2010 18:59

yes fat feet over here

overmydeadbody · 01/03/2010 19:05

I wear these sketchers, have a silver and black pair, and it makes a nice change form lace-ups and they are super comfy for people like me with wide feet.

overmydeadbody · 01/03/2010 19:08

If you want really funky colours I recommed Onitsuka tiger trainers. Really great!

overmydeadbody · 01/03/2010 19:09

how cool

overmydeadbody · 01/03/2010 19:13

I have these

CiderIUpAndSetIFree · 01/03/2010 19:18

ah yes forgot about Skechers - if you are wide of foot then Skechers is your friend
