They're back, I've been searching for years...

Ordered and awaiting arrival.

I'm such a 90s throwback but I loved mine and wore them til they died.

Oh wow, soo comfy!
I even convinced my mum to let me have some as school shoes, was so happy!

High heel version??!! Can't imagine, sounds interesting.

JackBauer, they were my university shoe!

OMG - I had a pair of those.
They weren't £35 though!

I wore them in the very early 90s with hideous dungaree short thingies or little smock dresses

All the rage in norf London

I bought them from Top Shop last year, so of course they're not on line anymore. They are a cross between these and these. Laceups. V comfortable considering their height and the fact I don't do heels!

Shaz, you are significantly cooler than me!!!

i remember them!

but never had a pair - back in the 90's you couldnt get me out of my Doc Martins and Adidas Gazelles (to go with my indian tassle skirt, tie dye t-shirt or long sleeved Nirvana jumper)

those where the days

were

I don't actually remember them the first time round - although I am the right age! I lived in Gazelles too, the turquoise ones.

ooh, I had some too...does that make me old?

I remember I had a pair in 1990. I wore them to my very first Fashion business trip away in Paris, think I had a Lycra catsuit on and short suede biker jacket

I wore them when they were "in" last time - never again! Sorry, but yeuchh!

Ooh I had them in the cream (not high tops though). I loved them and wore them with a floaty short skirt. They were the converse of the time.

Now Cleggy I cannot believe you of all people have never seen them before.

You're excited by plimsols.
Okay, well, that's nice dear .

I used to love those They will be huge this summer as a lot of other things from their last hey day are back.look great with rolled up jeans and dungarees

I remember them. Never keen

they are ok. i had sort of lace ones back in the day i was quite fond of. they are nicer than the fashion for wearing actual plimsolls lately which i hate!

Yes, agree. Those very skinny 'weener' (as my ds1 would say) plimsolls are horrible, well, they would look horrible on me anyway.

I wore them too

Agree they made your feet reek

My Mum used to go mental too because they left horrible black marks all over the lino

They didn't make my feet stink and I was forever wearing them without socks.

The beige are nice, but Schuh don't do them.

OMG yes - and yes to the long floral dress and t-shirt underneath.

I remember that they used to make my feet smell, so I shan't be buying any

since i posted on this thread i've sent DH been up in the loft and yes ive still my doc martins circa 1993

now to work out why my striking out thing didnt work

I wore my Palladiums to death. Well until every other student in the world had a pair - or even worse fake copies!
I loved them and wore them with baggy jeans and hooded t-shirts.

They are so much nicer than plimsols, but I do like a chunky trainer or boot.

Very tempted to buy a pair, but also feel at 40 that I might be pushing it.
