Converse are classic.

Go for it then. Lucky you not being in UK!

The Air & Grace trainers look a bit like the Goose ones but less scuffed. I haven’t worn the A&G trainers but I have their sandals and they are insanely comfortable, proper granny shoes levels of comfort, I worn mine all last summer. I am tempted to try their trainers. They are pricey but not as bad as Goose and they have an eBay outlet .

If you want them then buy them.
They do look like something a perv would buy from EBay to wank over thoughConfused

HeyDemonsItsYaGirl · 22/02/2021 10:43

Never heard of either of them so I Googled. The Vejas are nice but I can smell the Golden Goose ones just by looking at them, and it isn't pleasant. Grin

Re comfy shoes at ''Granny shoes levels of comfort''...
Sketchers! Was snooty about the synthetic materials, but bought some in a sale...They are so comfy.

Walking on soft carpet feeling. Not stylish though.

The über grubby ones remind me of those over the top anti heroin ads of the 1990's.

I bought some Vejas a few months ago. I've worn them once - so uncomfortable. I thought they'd perhaps be OK once they were worn in a it but I haven't been able to bring myself to put them on my feet again since!

CattyCactus · 22/02/2021 10:55

That’s a good discount and I like the ones you’ve posted.
But the main thing is, if you like them go for it.

Whatsnewpussyhat · 22/02/2021 10:57

Those Golden goose trainers just prove that people with more money than sense will buy anything if it's in fashion.

And now I'm getting targeted ads😂

@Whatsnewpussyhat Next week you’ll have a grubby, dirty, with glitter all over pair on 🤣

I love the look of the Vejas I bought but they are so uncomfortable. Went back to Adidas Gazelles!

PrtScn · 22/02/2021 11:17

Just get some plimsolls and save yourself some money. They both look wanky to me.

Yes - the all black Skechers you can get in Sports Direct are the universal ultra comfy retail work shoe. When I worked in a bookshop a few of us all had the exact same pair! I always spot them on waitresses etc too.

Did that look 20 years ago. Trainers were £20 and the dirt was free then though. Grin

Cross post...... We both used the word ''Reek''

Grin yep, reek is the only word for them. Either that or pong Grin

Hoppinggreen · 22/02/2021 11:24

Vejas aren’t comfy at all
I have some and I can hardly wear them

Ponoka7 · 22/02/2021 11:26

If you were standing about in Liverpool wearing them, people would give you food and money, so they do pay for themselves, I suppose.

Mildmanneredmum · 22/02/2021 11:30

Sole Bliss. Comfy trainers for -older women- bunions

Mildmanneredmum · 22/02/2021 11:31

Hmm strikethrough fail!

OP at least the ones you posted aren't so bad... But I just can't get my head around buying shoes / clothes that look like they've been worn already.

The ones posted up thread though 🤮 they literally look like the shoes of a local drunk I used to know. I feel like I can smell them just looking at them.

Mind I can remember being a teen when the ripped jeans 1st came round & I thought why would I pay for something I can do myself by climbing a fence! 😂

I have some "distressed" gazelles do you think I could sell them on ebay?
