These are fun!! I won't be buying because I still have my Hi-Ness from last year, but I'd enjoy them! http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/co.....725488?ori

Wow. I think I'd have to see these on! My new colleague has over 30 pairs of Converse.

Those are fantastic! They'd look great with one of the VC tube skirts and a fluid blouse wouldn't they?

I am generally not a fan of gladiator, lace-up, high on the ankle sandals at all, but the sneaker style here really is fun! I really like these!

I saw these in person yesterday! Very fun - but, I'm like you Suz - I've got last year's "version" and don't need another pair of wedge Cons.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT? These are fantastic! There is no way white shoes will stay white for more than 2 seconds here but if these were in any other color I would snap them up!

What a great find Suz! Now I'm really tempted -- I need a pair of fashion sneakers to replace one that's falling apart and was considering Vans or other slip-ons, but these look so cool...

So Fun- and probably actually a little cooler than standard sneaks for in-between weather. (But not rain!)

Oh, those are cute.
I get so confused by Converse stock. Their spring collection on their own website didn't seem to include any Hi Ness like last year, just a higher- and covered-heel version in bright colours called Platform Plus. And now these appear. Then there's trying to figure out what Canadian stores will have!
Did you ever try washing your white Hi Ness Suz? That would be a main concern about these.

These a fantastic Deb, if you don't mind please let me know how they wear I just might push the button converse don't tend to do well with my fussy feet.

Jules, I did wash my white Hi-Ness. I just threw them in the washer in a bag, with the laces out (but also in the bag). I left them in the sun to dry. They were fine. I also "spot cleaned" them a couple of times with some stuff I had in the laundry room and also with one of those Tide Sticks (on the run) and it worked surprisingly well. I do have a few marks on the rubber of mine, but I wore them pretty hard last summer.

I find Mr Clean Magic Eraser does, er, magic with the rubber toe cap. The bumpy rubber sides will shred the Magic Eraser a bit though.

I imagined kind of peep toes from reading the tittle only!! But Wow, isn't that also a great ideea to come up with for the Converse company?:-)

I'm fond of these, as consider they will be more airy then the originals, and I'll have to show these to my DD for broading her knowledge- as she is still convinced there is no (better) life beyond Converse:-).

OK looks like they have a pair of tie dye Hi Ness new in as well... not sure either of these pairs is for me but I am just glad the Hi Ness is alive and well
Going to see my friend in the US in 4 weeks so I have an opportunity to order some shoes to her place. Thank you Suz, for giving me Hi Ness hope.

Oh, these are awesome! I have the non-cut out version as well, but found I didn't wear them much in the summer, I'm a "get my toes exposed as fast as posssible" kinda person. So they were a spring/fall thing. These ones could move more into summer.....

Deb, I found the Hi-Ness version didn't fit the same as regular cons. They are smaller all over... narrower and shorter. I had to size up. If you have wide feet they are probably not for you, but should be fine if you are "regular".

Oo, fun! I already have several pairs of shoes on my s/s list and now may be FORCED to add another!

Suz, how comfortable are they?

Windchime, I agree 100% with what Elizabeth P. says. They do not fit the way regular Cons fit (which is the whole reason I can wear them; I can't wear regular Cons at all -- too flat, too wide, etc.)

These are narrower and a bit shorter. I usually wear a 6.5 in North American sizes or a 37 EU size. In these, I wore a 7 and needed it.

I find them INCREDIBLY comfy. I sort of bounce around in them like Tigger, actually. They are too hot for the hottest days, but they're fabulous in the late spring/ early fall weather and on cooler summer days or evenings here. They're also a fantastic rainy day choice with an umbrella if you are just kicking around town and don't want to spoil your sandals.
