thanks op! bought 100k
Nice find OP
Not familiar with sportsdirect, assuming sizes are Aussie
UK sizes, which are usually the same as AUS sizes.
I bought a pair of these during their last sale. Paid around the same. I think the shoes are better than converse - the insole is softer and they don't weigh a ton.
Some colours even cheaper @ $11.98!
What’s the current state of Dunlop shoes? Any good? I understand the brand name has been sold and resold again numerous times lately.
Actually it’s interesting to read about “Dunlop”, it has splintered into so many different companies worldwide. I guess it strikes me as odd to have the same name and logo used by multiple completely different companies.

Bought a pair of dunlop high tops last year from the UK and they are fantastic. Still look like the day I bought them. Would highly recommend.
I think Dunlop footware is owned by SportsDirect.
They also have their semi-regular 20% off clothing (code CL20) on until the end of today (probably their time).
I bought a pair of these a couple of weeks ago. Great price and delivery from the UK was fine. Not the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn though but still a bargain!
Thanks op. There are some cheap kids shoes in there as well. Just bought 5 random pairs for $83 delivered.
How are these compared to chucks? May get a pair for the gym.
I was considering this too; however, I think it might not be for me given that they're cushioned insoles… don't think they'd be that great for squatting in compared to my chucks as my chucks are hard soled.
edit: on second thought I might just give these a try anyway
If you change to currency to GBP and pay with a no fee card, it comes to GBP 7.98, which is AUD $14.08, and includes delivery.
Yes it can make a lot of difference to pay in GBP - maybe 5%…
Bargain, cheers.
Thanks OP
Bought a couple of pairs.I hope they're better quality than Converse, though that wouldn't be too hard.
Thoroughly frustrating that no ever seems to stock enough size 14's, always seems to be the size that's not available.
Size 14 is available in Navy or black/black colours
yeah just noticed, this. Thanks XD
Just curious - how much does returning a pair of shoes cost if we had to return? I understand that return cost is on the buyer if there's any size issue.
PayPal free returns?
Thanks OP have a couple of weddings coming up
Got a further $2.78 off with coupon FW20
Sweet! Got a pair for $10.27 delivered. Thanks!
I've been after a new pair of chuck taylor's but this will do just fine. Can't wait to see how these compare.
Thank you so much for sharing the bargain.
got mine 3 pairs of dunlops and 1 pair of converse today :D
Got mine, they're much longer than I expected - got 10.5, I'm usually somewhere between 10 and 11 depending on the shoe, but these are just extra long, look kinda like clown shoes! Either a 9 or maybe 9.5 would be the way to go. Will either return or gift to someone.
Be advised these are not worth returning. Just took my too-large single pair to the local post office to return, and it's $47.84 return postage to the return address in the UK, and that was using the cheapest possible 8-day economy freight (by sea would probably be much too slow and go beyond their returns window, and I'm not even sure it was any cheaper), plus that price did not include the cost of the bag (probably ~$4). Even with PayPal refunded returns, that maxes out at $45 (which seems a pretty generous limit to me), you still lose around $7, so out of ~$14 cost you only get half back, and have to faff around finding the returns form on the SportsDirect website, filling in the returns form, travelling to the post office, buying the correct postage & packaging, photographing the receipt and the package for PayPal, posting it off, going to PayPal site, uploading your photo and filling in their form, then waiting for the SportsDirect refund, as usually PayPal want to see the returns refund before they will refund postage, and at the end you're only up ~$7. Plus if the parcel gets lost or they won't accept the return or similar, then you're out the $45 too. Totally not worth the time and effort and risk, so if they don't fit, just gift them to someone else.
But would nice if a) Australia Post prices were not so extortionate (~$50 postage for an item that cost $10.30 to $14, with delivery, seriously?!), and b) if SportsDirect had an Australian return address.
Thank You OP . Good find.
