    Foot locker (shoe chain) had a sale only a few days ago I got converse for my daughter for £14.99

    Don't know if still on but worth checking!

    I got excited by this and popped into Foot Locker in Oxford Circus this morning. Sadly the only ones they had were £35:(

    If anyone sees them anywhere else for less, please post, as I'd love a pair but not sure I would wear them enough to spend this much on them...

    I've never tried washing slippers in the machine. Hopefully someone else will come along soon. If not I'll change the title of the thread for you.
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

    This is the type of slipper I mean:

    I wouldn't put these in the washing machine. I think there would be a good chance that the sole would either disintegrate or come away from the upper. I may be wrong but I wouldn't risk it.

    Were they expensive to buy? The cheaper they are the more likely they are to come away from the sole in my opinion - although I may be wrong. Especially on a hotter wash.
    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...

    I got my daughter a pair of knee high black with pink gingham lining (they look the same as Converse without the logo), for £13.99 in shoe shop in Aberdeen. Can't remember the name but it's in shopping centre (and it's kind of opposite Schuh) on Union Street near to the Travelodge. Anyway, if you ain't that bothered about the logo..........;)
