Still looking for really comfortable 'trainer-esque' shoes for a city break. Have tried hundreds of pairs on, and disliked nearly everything. Of those I've liked, most of them have been too wide (I have small and narrow feet).

I don't give a fig if I look 'stylish' or not, but nor do I have any intention of wearing any of the horrors that Skechers sell.

I like these:

Geox white

Clarks nude or silver

Clarks pink

I also liked white leather Superga, but they were too wide and suede Puma and Adidas Gazelles, ditto.

Thanks, ggirl. The black laces are why I like the Geox - makes them look less like I'm going to be chucking balls around on Centre Court.

Clarks silver, black laces put me off geox.
Other clarks look like special shoes.

I like them all apart from the Clarks pink. The Geox are quite similar to the Air & Grace Glitter which I like so they probably come out top for me.

The Clarks nude and Clarks pink both look better irl than in those pics, I think.

And I would like these but hate the huge N.

Thanks, Fruit. I don't need 'cheapo' as such - just don't want to spend a fortune. Do need them to be pretty durable though.

Love these but think they'd be too wide. Anybody know anything about how they come up?

I've also got my eye on this beauty though, so can't spend too much on the trainers!

I like the geox and the office are nice too. I like the black laces, I'm never sure about very white trainers.

I've been looking at these but not sure of the fit: adidas

I like those, Taybert.

I think I'm going to order the black lace ones and see what they look like in the flesh. I'm also not terribly fond of all white.

I ran a 10k race in wind, rain and knee deep mud today. I think those trainers will be my reward.

I love the Geox, they're gorgeous and get my vote. I have other Geox shoes and they are the most comfortable I've ever owned.

I don't like the Clark's ones at all, sorry.
