Converse All Star Ox // J D Sports

When JD Sports kindly got in touch to see if I'd like to pick out a pair of Converse from their website I jumped at the chance. I'm not always the *most* practical of persons when it comes to shoes. Sure in winter I live in boots and summer I have endless amounts of sandals, wedges and flip flops, but spring!? There's a big gaping hole for something other than my little pumps & loafers. I've also started to learn to drive...so as much as I love those pumps I need to be practical....or at least until I've passed.

Studying the large selection JD Sports stock I eventually settled on the All Star Ox's in Grey despite liking many of the bolder shades and textures. I have to say that now owning my first pair I'm tempted to order more. Why grey? Grey works with everything right and I could never cope with all over white shoes getting filthy. Harry will most certainly be trying to run off into the garden with them, maybe I'll settle and allow him their box. I'm really impressed with the quality of my pair, I always imagined they'd be the same as high-street fashion stores. Instead the soles are thicker and more grooved for better grip while the laces and overall structure feel sturdy. Most importantly my teeny tiny feet are happy. Having narrow size 3 feet can be a pain at times, just not this time round. Straight out of the box my converse were comfy and didn't require days of wearing them in....though I did have to wait for a few dry days to appear. Slouchy, cosy knits and converse's anyone? Lucy <3
