Customer Reviews
Dry, comfy and well designed.
I have found wellingtons to be a necessary evil. Most keep your feet dry, at least till they spring a leak, but few are comfortable to walk in. Taking a size 8 and a half in shoes, I find I have to go up in size and this only seems to increase my problem with them. No matter what, my socks seem to always want to slip down and bunch near my toes. I have tried a variety of makes over the years with varying degrees of success, but my new Karrimor Unisex boots have proved to be a most pleasant surprise. Not only are they quite comfortable to walk in, they seem very well designed. As a daily dog walker, I meet many different types of terrain and they seem well fitted for a range of purposes. They seem more like extended shoes with the side adjusters so simple to use. The soles provide excellent grip which I find necessary when crossing burns in spate. And there seems little danger of me stepping out of them accidentally in soft, muddy foreshores or peat bogs in the moors nearby. This being the case, the only slight problem is in getting them off without some form of assistance. I would recommend one of the many inexpensive 'welly removers' to save frustration.

All in all, I am delighted with my new boots and find them an excellent bargain at Amazon's competetive price!

BARGAIN BOOTS!
The quality and fit of these boots is excellent value, you would expect to pay at least £35 for these in Garden Centres.

Nice fit
These are a good pair of wellys and a nice fit.All in all very happy with them,Worth the £18 I paid but think someone was telling porkys at originaly putting them at £45.Definitely not worth that.

Customer Reviews

Classic Shoe
Just received my Converse Chuck Taylor's and have to say I am very impressed. Managed to find a telephone number to contact Amazon and changed my order at late notice (from Navy to classic black), they were very helpful and amended it successfully. These trainers look great with a pair of jeans and have a timeless design that will never go out of fashion. They are also very comfortable and have not been rubbing like most new pairs of shoes do. I think Converse go by American sizes so my advice would be to go for one size down from your usual. The one downside I have found is the quality isn't quite what I thought it would be with the upper consisting of a single ply canvas. This probably helps keep the weight down if you are playing basketball - what the shoes were originally designed by Chuck Taylor to be used for.

Review of the shoes, not the transaction
I'm writing this review as I think browsers expect a review of the product here, and a review of the supplier's service in the 'seller profile', not here. The only review so far seemed to be about a mistake with a card, etc, not about the shoes. SO ... they're a bit expensive because they're Converse All Stars and you're paying for the name. But they're good quality, and come in an excellent variety of colours and styles. My daughter loves the Black/Pink/Cherries and they're sporty and fun. (And we ordered from 'Office' and they arrived really quickly).

Great shoes!!
I wanted the Vitoria Blue coverses but they were out of stock on the Office website - so I checked here and they were in stock!

Very quick delivery - I ordered them Sunday night, got them on Wednesay afternoon.

The packaging could have been better - it was the original converse shoe box in a simple black bag, so the box was a bit battered.

The shoes are great! You can also return them to any Office store so you can save on postage...if you want to return them that is - I dunno why you would!!

I'd defo buy my converses from here, theres also a HUGE selection of styles.

Check size first!
Bought a pair of the all black all stars in size 11. Normally that size is fine but they were a bit tight at the toes. Have returned them for 12's. Smart pair of shoes all the same.

Might be worth checking them out in a shop first for size.

Great shoes
I am going to keep it short so you can just get my opinion quickly. These shoes are great, they keep your feet at an amazing temperature for anything, they are comfortable and easy to walk, or do sports in. The material is good and quality is good. Just be prepared to spend an extra minute putting these on before you go out.

Why not?
If you're reading this you probably don't own a pair of these. You probably should. They're wonderfully comfortable, durable, versatile, machine-washable and available in all kinds of colours, patterns and materials. They're also relatively affordable and look better the longer you wear them. Hello?
