I used to call them Bumpers, son calls them Converse All Stars

and he wants some for Christmas.

The ones he wants are £40! plus £4 delivery.

Can anyone find them cheaper? The only thing is he wants ones with white "fire" on them (called black / navy tattoo).


Thanks for any help.

Seems to be some on eBay not sure which ones exactly your after but there's a few on there about £30 on buy it now, watch the P&P charges though, some charge more then others.

I had a look, thanks. There are some that will cost me £30 in total but the ones he wants are light blue with a white flame on them. I hate paying full price for anything lol but I suppose just this once I will have to pay £40 + £4 p+p.

He still "knows" father Christmas brings the presents so they will have to be the right ones.

Thanks for your help.

Was there not any on there, sure I spotted some???

No, I have even looked in their shops too - he's a size 8 (adults) uk.

Blue with a flame on them - I have seen them on raw shoe company (not eBay) - total £44

I have seen them on just 1 more web site shop (not ebay) for £35 but only had size 9, 10, 11, 12.

Have you asked the Raw Shoe Co if they'll price match them?

2005CLAIRE

Do you think they would?
There is a place where you can add a promo code but I can't find one anywhere - which make sit even more annoying.

I have emailed the company re the price match - they are a local company (couple of miles) so I have said I would prefer to give my custom to a local firm if they can price-match.

Fingers crossed.

The might do, some places will and some won't, you could offer to pick them up (if it's not too big an inconvenience) save them a bit more hassle

They have replied. They said they looked on the website I had mentioned and that the shoes were different ones, could I confirm where I saw them again for the lower price.

I have replied but I don't hold out much hope.

I ordered some for my daughter from here http://www.bagginsshoes.com/
(no connection etc). The exchange rate on the Canadian dollar was very good, and even including postage they came in about £15 cheaper than I could find them in the UK.

I had to e-mail them a few times to confirm sizes etc. and they were extermely helpful. Delivery was about a week so I was a happy customer.

HTH
