trainers - advice please! No idea what is acceptable or embarassing!

[redtoenails]

I need to buy some new ones for exercising (if I ever get round to it) and for trips to the park). Don't worry I shall not be wearing them out to the shops. Haven't got a clue what is IN or OUT. I don't want to spend a fortune and can probably fit into childrens at a size 4.5 - 5. Suggestions please!

[redtoenails]

omg have i committed the ultimate mn crime! I did say they were for exercise!

[Nymphadora]

No idea but am watching this as I need new ones too

[redtoenails]

nymph you big cowardy custard - waiting until someone else starts a thread. Are you hopin I get the grief and they leave you alone

[mamama]

Don't know what is ok over there but in the US, you need the biggest whitest ones you can find. And plenty of white socks with which to wear them. Pull the socks up as far as you can. There. Fashion Guru

thanks mam

[Nymphadora]

Yep thats right (they'd really slate the ones I am wearing atm- grey boys ones from the sale bin in Matalan)

[mamama]

Yeah sorry, I wasn't much help. I need new trainers too but refuse to have blindingly white ones so am refusing to buy any! I'd be tempted to go the same route as nymphadora.

[Nymphadora]

Yeash thats why I have these cos I hate the white ones and blokes are all too big, not a lot around in lads ones atm

[redtoenails]

is there no-one around who knows what's hot and what's not

[Nymphadora]

what about work? I have to run? [hopeful face]

[redtoenails]

what if I'm running in the park?

[fawkeoff]

if i where u i would just go with some reebok classics...youll probably pick em up for £20-£25 with u being a small size

[redtoenails]

malory you're kidding surely running after kids is exercise and as for chatting it def counts as long as you get out of breath!!!

[redtoenails]

malory surely you added a please
what did they advise?

[redtoenails]

which ones are a no no!

[JackieNo]

Aloha's recent thread might help?

[MrsScavo]

Where I live big white ones are a no no, but then I'm not in the US. And no one pulls their sock up around here, apart from DH, and it really makes me cringe.

Diesle trainers look good for the park, but I wouldn't train in them.
