I had looked at getting these a few years ago, but lack of stockists here must have made me forget about them. I finally got a pair yesterday, and so love them. I've always liked Converse (I have photos of me wearing them in my early teens some, ahem, 2o years ago) and didn't think I could find better until getting a pair of
Bensimons. They already look worn-in, in a perfectly acceptable kind of way, and the colours are muted in a dusty kind of way. I really do want a pair in every colour.
I got these

And now I want these
Oooh I like the Bensimon shoes. I have a pair of their dusty blue sneakers. They are soooo comfy. Their clothes are gorgeous too.
ReplyDeletei love these! i used to wear converses when i was little, but haven't really found anything to replace them except for TOMS (which aren't as comfortable).
ReplyDeletewill have to look around for these!
oh i love these too....
ReplyDelete{cute}
i've been wanting these for the longest time!
ReplyDeletewhere did you get them?
Angela - are you in NZ (or Auckland)? I got mine from Adorno in Ponsonby. They have such great clothes there, but I have to say the service by the owner was unpalatable! I still couldn't bear to leave these behind though... I am determined to find another stockist. There are so many colours available on the Bensimon website, but we seem to get so few coming into NZ, such a pity.
ReplyDeleteAnd Erica, these really are comfortable (more than converse in my opinion). I wore them to walk to the park in, no problem. And I am a convert to the slip-on style - a godsend when pregnant! I liked the relaxed look of these, versus the laceup.
ReplyDeleteI am loving these shoes a lot. I am all for a slip on and need something comfy. I'm going to search for a stockist in Oz right now. (By the way loooove the strutter pants. so cool.)
