Custom Converse? UPDATED! Ours arrived *Flash*

*Ducky*, 17 February, 2012 at 14:05 Posted on Planning 0 77

I have this innate ability to find unecessary, but really cool cr*p.

I was thinking of getting some comfy shoes to wear for the evening and Mr DB has already expressed an interest in getting some sneaker/pump type shoes to change into also.

Then I have seen you can get converse personalised!

I would probably wear them quite a lot afterwards as my job (I work in a lab) has a very casual dress code and most days I wear skinny jeans, a top and cardi. However, I have to wear full-cover shoes, so can't wear ballerinas or sandals in the summer, instead I wear these sort of trainer things.

Are they truely awful? Or are they truely awful for me, but H2B could get away with them?

Here is a flash of our very own Ozzy converse:

    I like them! What's your dress like? Will you want them actually on show or will they be covered up and are mainly for comfort? And do they do kids one?? I want some for my 3 year old to wear on the day as I'm not sure I want to buy a smart pair of shoes he will wear once!

    All the cool kids wear converse! I love them. My best friend has an awsome pair of purple knee high lace ups. jelouse. If you like them go for it I'll probably be wearing trainers all day, comfy and noone will see them anyway lol

    I think they're a great idea. I live in Converse so will definitely be getting some for the wedding. I have never worn heels, so will wear flats for the ceremony then change into my converse for the reception.

    My dress will most definitely cover them. I have very classy, normal shoes for the ceremony (only our family present). I will wear them to meet all the guests (150) as they arrive after the ceremony for the reception.

    And I will probably only put the sneakers on when our ceilidh band starts and to keep dancing to the DJ. So people will know I had taste to begin with...

    My H2B just looks good in anything.

    Oh I love them!!!! I wish I could wear something like this during the wedding but I'm 5ft and OH is 6ft 5!!! I might treat him to some for the day and then I'll get some for the honeymoon! I'm on the hunt for comfy/high/funky shoes

    Thanks DuckyBum!!

    They definitely do kids Converse as I have seen them in the shops like Schuh and Office. My work PC can't access the Converse design tool so I can't have a look here (they really should ban hitched, I do far more reading of scientific literature if they did). But I am sure a google would answer your question.

    I wonder if I can get my 2 year old flower girl a pair? Now she WOULD look cool in her dress and converse:

    I would totally get them, just not in pink. And I think It'd go with the date instead of bride, and Mrs. Christmas would be too long!

    My iPad won't let me look at the site properly boo :-( will have a look later when I can be arsed to switch on the laptop. Love your fg dress, the ones my fgs have chosen are almost exactly the same. I think they'll be wearing ballet pumps with them, their mums seem to think I want them in ivory, I was like 'hell no, get them whatever colour they want!'

    I wouldn't get pink! I am girly, but I just don't wear pink. I quite like white, bright blue or bright yellow ones and I think I will get Mrs Oz and H2B will have Mr Oz, or just Oz (because ALL his man friends call him Oz and it really winds his mum up) like this:

    My iPhone won't either. I think it's because the site uses adobe flash and Apple don't have flash?

    I'm with you on letting the FGs choose their own shoes, sometimes kids look lovely when they don't match perfectly. I let mine chose her hairband. She said she wanted hair clips instead. That was fine with me. She even chose an ivory butterly clip, I thought we would end up with a hot-pink Barbie creation.

    I'll take her shoe shopping nearer the time too (her feet seem to grow at the rate of knotts), she can pick a colour then too. Chances are she'll run around barefoot most of the day anyway.

    This one. But once I click on a pair to start designing it says 'you need to install Flash.' And my PC is on a network and don't have the clearance to install Flash. Booooooooooooooo.

    The Flash isn't working for me anyway. I click on "view all customisable shoes" and it does nothing. Probably for the best, I guess... ?

    OOoooooooooh these are so cool! I've actually bought H2B some personalised Adidas shell toes - in purple to match the wedding and with the date embroidered on the side. He loves adidas trainers, and I think they'll look fab in a couple pictures

    I think it's a very plausible reason to request a pair!

    When you go to the Converse site, if you ask to be taken to the USA site you can have a play a customising (the UK isn't playing ball). I know it's useless to order from, but fun to have a go!

    What is the website for these? I would love to get a pair... in fact I was looking at converse today for the evening but plain ones and custom ones would be amazing Smiley smile

    I also think custom converse with a flower girl dress would look really lovely and very cute.

    I think it's a great idea. At a friend's wedding a couple of years ago, one of the brides wore converse trainers with 'I love Amy' on the side, big and bold. They were fantastic and a real talking point!

    I wear converse, would love to get some like this for the night but dont think we have the budget Smiley sad plus its olny a couple on weeks since i got a new pair wish id waited!

    I found this site the other day, i wanted some for my little boy as he is going to wear converse instead of shoes as he wears converse alot so i feel shoes would be a waste. he is going to look so cute in his little suit and converse! But gutted because they dont do his size he is only 2 years old at the time of the wedding.

    Both H2B and I love our converse for weekend wear and we came accross these custom ones last year, still undecided though, as much as I would love a purple pair for the evening!
