Depends... do you prefer a V or a star?

Think Meghan Markle wore Veja if that makes any difference either way!

I like my Vejas - didn’t know they were wanky!

Brightbulbs · 22/02/2021 00:06

My Veja’s are very unforgiving and hurt the tops of my feet when I wore them, which was disappointing.

Trainerdilemma · 22/02/2021 00:09

@Fiveletters No, I love them! I just read the Golden goose ones were called tramp trainers 🤷🏻‍♀️But I love them. I think Veja ones are a bit classier perhaps..I don’t know, I like them both until I read that

@CoRhona I love the battered, worn in look, but yikes the price

Just googled them both. They are both a bit fugly.

Mellonsprite · 22/02/2021 00:12

Are the golden goose one supposed to look pre-scuffed? Like a bit worn in?? If so that’s a bit wanky for the prices.

dontgobaconmyheart · 22/02/2021 00:30

I feel like both have been around a while and have had their moment (not that this matters, or should). I never wore the Vejas that i bought a few years ago, and ended up selling them, most uncomfortable thing i have ever owned- the blisters!!

🤣😂 me either

if you want some plastic trainers, why not buy some from Asda? Same shit, but way cheaper.

Henrysmycat · 22/02/2021 03:52

Both wanky. Pre-covid it was all you could see on fashionable Londoners’ feet. They are a bit “old news” now. I got a pair of Veja as present and they were terrible. I’ve now decided to never ever be unfaithful to my Stan Smiths as I can be arsed with fads that hurt my feet.

BusterGonad · 22/02/2021 04:18

The Veja's look like Asdas Addidas knock offs to me!

Caramelwhispers · 22/02/2021 04:36

Onitsuka trainers How about these, they look a bit different to your usual vega & golden goose. Loads of people have Vegas, might be the time to try something different.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 22/02/2021 04:47

I think it will depend on what sort of training you are doing. Hurdling, for example, will require different trainers to those for boxing.

I can't believe these are actually a thing. They look like trainers a drug addict would wear.
It has to be a joke surely

Wiredforsound · 22/02/2021 05:15

The golden goose ones look smelly.

Longdistance · 22/02/2021 05:34

If I’d known I could sell my dirty smelly trainers for £400 I wouldn’t have thrown them out 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m missing a trick here obviously.

HOkieCOkie · 22/02/2021 06:03

Just googled and the Golden Goose ones are really nice. Go for it.

Imapotato · 22/02/2021 06:44

Very pricey for what are essentially fairly ugly trainers. Had to google them both as never heard of them, but they cost too much to ever be on my radar.

I’m pretty sure the homeless lady in town was wearing something similar Grin

I might see if I can dig out some my of my old smelly trainers and flog them.

SuperSange · 22/02/2021 07:12

You'd prise my Adidas superstars from my cold, dead hands.

Pinkypie86 · 22/02/2021 07:15

Stan Smiths, Victoria or Superga.
Comfy, cheaper and just as nice.

Rubyupbeat · 22/02/2021 07:16

My cousin bought me a pair of golden goose trainers 2ish years ago, they were horrific looking, I felt awful as I knew they were expensive, I sold them on ebay, and bought some trust comfy nikes.
Both makes look horrible, but we all have different tastes.
