You can find out where your nearest Converse store is by going to this manic website - Converse Shoes
In Size UK 7.
You just can't get them over here. Not that design and my 13 year old daughter wants them desperately.
PM me if you would be happy to go on the search. I would be forever grateful and happy to reimburse expenses.
Cheers
Frances and Flossie

I checked my area but no store within 50 miles carries that item. It does say in the online page that International shipping is available. Can't you just order it online?
I checked the store locator, but to know if a particular item is in stock, I figured I'd have to call or go there....

I concur that your only recourse is to order direct from Converse.

This would be why!!! $146 = £75 for one pair of trainers

Frances, you've got a PM.
I was just thinking, "Where is Kimmer on this topic? She has extensive experience with and unique knowledge of Sneakers"...

Ok, what am I missing? When I go to Retail Locator under Help & Info, I get a search page that only locates a retailer that carries their products. I do not see where to enter a specific product in order to determine who has it in stock.
Justa guess: have you tried another browser?
I periodically find certain sites that don't work properly in Firefox but work fine in Safari, or vice-versa.

I was thinking the same thing as I began to compose my previous post. But, in the time it took to type 2 sentences, I forgot. You beat me to it!

Nope. Only have Safari. My bet is that it's not the browser software, it's the browsee.

Luckly Kimmer has stepped into the breach and has very kindly offered to order me a pair and then send them on. We are just negotiating terms with UK and US and Converse shoe sizes at the moment. That is one complicated system on its own.
If anyone wants to have a stab..... Floss is a UK 7, a EUR 40.5 so what is she in US Converse terms (womens Converse seem to take 2 sizes smaller than US normal). My calculations are a Converse 7 (US 9 womens). I have emailed Converse.com and am awaiting their reply. I have a feeling I will "await" forever but am prepared to be amazed.
So, thanks again for all your help. It is lovely to have friends "across the pond".

Kimmer I am glad you have emailed Converse too. Maybe we will get the same answer!
