Here they are on Amazon.

They're the mid top, not the high top. I'm not sure if you'd be able to find them in Luton, but at least you can get the name and SKU.
Sounds like you have a bunion. You could try using toe separators to help fix it and possibly might not ruin you next pair?
This is the kind my brother uses: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0734KRL5N/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_t1_MG1TD3AYDVK12G5EY53P

https://www.amazon.com/Converse-Unisex-Taylor-Street-Sneaker/dp/B01MFH8DVR?th=1&psc=1
I have a pair myself and they are definitely one of the most comfortable I own.
Yes, with Angelus Acrylic finisher
i found them here https://www.amazon.in/Converse-Chuck-Taylor-Street-Casino/dp/B01HNBIJ9Cb and https://m.sears.com/converse-chuck-taylor-all-star-ctas-syde-street/p-A034071532 but they're unavailable :/
you may not need to look for long. apparently the book is available in kindle, paperback, and hardcover formates on amazon.
according to the chucksconnection website, they have an updated version of the book now. This might actually be it.

here's the link:

I might buy this book myself at some point. as I am curious if this does have any updated entries
I got these on Amazon. They match perfectly.

Shoe goo will fix them up fine. I wear the heals out of mine and if they are shoes I love, I can rebuild the sole with it. https://www.amazon.com/Shoe-GOO-110212-Adhesive-Black/dp/B004PBOJE8/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=shoe%2Bgoo&qid=1652315978&sr=8-3&th=1
I originally got them from a converse store employee who recommended these for convenience, but i found them on amazon
Here’s a link to some that are the same style , maybe it will help you with your search

Amazon. They were a bit expensive at $20 for one pair.

i haven't tried it, but lots of good reviews. black discolors easily, so i'd test a small area. there are also just stretching shoe trees that don't use any sprays. search "shoe stretcher." if you try anything, it would be great to hear an update from you.
I think this is the same model on different color: Link
I have a pair of leather Street Hikers similar to these. They’ve been pretty decent but I haven’t worn them much in the rain.
I also have a pair of Gortex 70s that have been great in the rain and snow. I took them to the mountain on a snowboarding trip for before and after riding. My feet stayed warm and dry. I like them a lot and will get another pair when they get some better colors and maybe stop writing gortex in giant letters all over the shoes.
On Amazon, not even listed as Counterclimate and I didn't even know what I had until someone here pointed it out.
They are not but they make a winter boot that looks almost identical but has the winter tread and, I think, waterproofing.
Mine are these: Converse CT Street Slip-Mid Pincone (Medium / 7 D(M) US) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AUEOR1Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_YAXkCb62H7RX5
That site is jacked on mobile and the serial number they give is only for their site. Good starting point for your search.
You might want to call the shop you visited and get the code inside the tongue of the shoe...
Edit: Amazon link
Btw I came across these in the Converse store in Bogota - but they don't appear to be available in UK/ Europe (in fact I can't find the model/ design anywhere!)
Edit: Nearest I can find is black and olive pairs on Amazon, described as "Converse 157526c, Unisex Adults’ Hi-Top Slippers": https://www.amazon.co.uk/Converse-157526c-Unisex-Adults-Slippers/dp/B06XK375JB?th=1&psc=1
However can't find the grey/ charcoal (which I think look far better!!)
Thanks!
I have this vinyl cutter and I used smooth, heat transfer vinyl. My wife uses the machine for her business and I get to have cool custom work done for free.
I can't wait to do more!
I hadn't thought of that!
I plugged those numbers into Google and spent a few minutes looking around and found them! They're called Riff Oxfords. Thanks for the help!
