can't think of anywhere else to put this, so i figured I'd brave the AH in the hope of a genuinely useful response

I want to buy myself some shoes, they are black and white suede converse one stars with a kevlar toecap. class shoe, very comfy, have been wearing the same style for years.

however,
its a discontinued line.

so the last pair in my size exists somewhere in a warehouse in the states, and I can't order that size online as there's some kind of glitch with their system which dosent allow them to be listed.

and when I rang them they said they couldn't ship to ireland from a phone order.

so I need an american to place the order and then forward on the shoes to me.
or have I other options to facilitate my shoe acquisition

these are the shoes, http://www.lehighoutfitters.com/Converse-Composite-Toe-MidHi-Sport-Work-Shoe-C3875/

they only show them in 9.5 on the website, but there definitely exists one pair of 12's

On closer inspection these are loafers

I would love to step onto your cloud even just for a few minuets

The Reebok shoe in 'Related Items' is very similar.
But not Converse, I guess. Still..
Looking at that again, the Converse is better looking and cheaper.
That's a lot of money though for one shoe.
(Quantity-1)

Hande hoche!

Get yourself a nice pair of boots.

like I said the converse is the one I wear.

and these seem to be the last pair in existence

Hi, may I use the Men's Room.

I think there are places that you can use as a US address and they forward it on, best bet is to search under Online Buying.

I do it as I'm flying to the states for Christmas; but I'm afraid my bags will be filled with AK47s and bald eagles

Sorry!

Hi, I am a friendly American living in Iowa and will go to Ire-land next week.
I have nothing better to do than buying and carrying **** for strangers (it's Christmas after all) so please forward me your address and bank details and I will get right on that.

Dare I ask is there a medical issue that would explain all of this?

Dare I be bold twice. Are you, how should I say, romantically involved with these shoes?

i just ordered twenty pairs in your size and then
i am going to burn them in a bonfire and sit on a
deckchair watching this smoking a cigar laughing
because i am evil like that and you will be full of
sorrow like a snowman watching the sunrise in
springtime and there is nothing you can do about
it at all i dont even like the converse shoes they
are not very comfortable and they are made from
the poo of ostriches so they are probably causing
you to die a slow and painful death as it seeps into
your toes bit by bit so in reality i am probably just
doing you a big favour here op you should be more
thankful instead of shaking your fist at your computer
screen like i often do when that chatroulette hottie
turns out to be a stupid fat man laughing at me you
know what mammy was right do not take lsd with
weetabix it messes with my head quite a bit i think
i will go to dunnes and buy a gallon of soup and shoot
it out of my nose from the upstairs windows at people
going by just to see if they appreciate free food from
the heavens above they cant even call the po po
because it is not illegal to help the hungry

Seems unnecessarily nasty. OP was just looking for someone to be nice.

I'll check around for you, OP. edit: I see you may be sorted.

Jesus.
Even for AH thats mental.

registered on that myus.com website

shipping with them will cost more than the shoes, so back to square one.

Have just bought that last pair for ye. You were right. Last pair in existence that we can find. Trainers are currently en route to the house of a friend of mine in Maine. Price has gone up though. Considerably.

Considerably.

If you are using a credit card, don't forget to register MadsL's address as an alternate shipping address with the credit card company first. I've forgotten to do that with my work address in the past, and the seller just cancelled the order without saying a word to me.
