Hi lovelies,

Been eyeing two pairs of trainers but just can't make my mind up. Both puma but totally different. I've been debating between them since Saturday Hmm

What do you ladies think? Or any other suggestions for something similar? I do love the girly ones!

What trainers do you have? I currently have a very old battered pair of converse that really have seen better days Blush

these

or these

At the moment I'm swinging towards the Fenty ones, they look gorgeous. They're part of the Rihanna collection (which would normally put me off!) but so girly. But then I see the pink ones and I change my mind again!

Hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend x

Honest opinion? If you're three years old, ether.

I wasn't going to post in this thread according to the 'if you can't say anything nice' maxim. But I did click the links and now these horrors are stalking me all over mn. So I'm back to say, if you're not into barbie shoes don't click these links!Grin You've all been warned!

Grin I was just about to say the same waffles !
Stick a few sequins on and they'd be very Lelli Kelli.

MsJamieFraser · 17/04/2017 21:18

Neither, however my 3 year old neice would love them.

PurpleDaisies · 17/04/2017 21:19

When were you planning on wearing them? They don't really look like casual everyday trainers to me.

I also have a battered pair of converse that I love and really should replace.

Sirzy · 17/04/2017 21:20

I came on expecting a discussion about sports shoes.... maybe not then!

CactusFred · 17/04/2017 21:21

You currently wear Comverse and now you are considering these? Confused

DramaAlpaca · 17/04/2017 21:22

Honestly? They'd be cute on a toddler, but not on a grown woman.

Ooh link fail! 😂

Crochetty · 17/04/2017 21:22

Satin trainers??? Hmm

Hoppinggreen · 17/04/2017 21:23

Are you a children's TV presenter? If so go for it

WanderingTrolley1 · 17/04/2017 21:24

Please don't, OP.

elodie2000 · 17/04/2017 21:25

Ah OP Sad I feel bad now.
You sound lovely. You should wear what you like!

Monkeychopsticks · 17/04/2017 21:26

Well, I like the first ones. Hope you choose soon x

PeppaPigTastesLikeBacon · 17/04/2017 21:27

I wouldn't put those on my DD who is 1 and looks cute in most things. They are hideous Envy

RitzyMcFee · 17/04/2017 21:28

They are very old-lady living in Florida.

Mulberry72 · 17/04/2017 21:28

Both are hideous, sorry OP.

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 17/04/2017 21:34

I came on to ask whether you were getting them for running but now I don't think that's the right question.

GreyVelvet · 17/04/2017 21:35

I love the second Ines but I am known for my toddler taste in pink and glitter

GreyVelvet · 17/04/2017 21:37

The reviews all seem to be from non native English language speakers though so maybe they appeal to a different market.

Georgina1975 · 17/04/2017 21:37

Not keen on either to be honest

How about these - pricey but mine are really lasting and can dress up or down. Grey here but they come in various colours www.russellandbromley.co.uk/sneakers/casablanca/invt/104852

Or Esska (who sell the comfiest shoes ever - and this from a non heel wearer) trainers - here in silver if you're looking for "girly" www.esskashoes.com/product/volt-silver-laceup-trainer-yellow/

Screwinthetuna · 17/04/2017 21:38

Ok, I will say something postiveSmile

Go with the bottom ones as the top ones will look awful when they get at all dirty.

WildCherryBlossom · 17/04/2017 21:42

Of the two I would choose the pink one. Really not keen on the chunky sole / satin of the first.

Have you considered adidas gazelles? A suede pair in a girly colour?You could customise by replacing the laces with a wide satin ribbon if you like.
