How hideous are these trainers really, in your opinion?

My partner isn't normally the least bit concerned about what I wear but really truly despises these trainers, will ask me not to wear them, says they're hideous!🤣
I don't think they're so bad? I'm not really someone who wears trainers unless I'm at the gym but I do occasionally put these on to just nip to the shop or such. DP is seriously offended by them!

YABU - they're absolutely ghastly
YANBU- they're okay, ignore DP.

Nothing wrong with them at all, I would wear those myself!

Galeforcewindatmywindow · 18/02/2024 12:20

Tbh I would more be questioning the trousers....

WimpoleHat · 18/02/2024 12:20

They’re not a great fashion statement, but pretty practical for throwing on to go for a walk or whatever, surely? I can’t see why one would object violently to them?

Sparklesocks · 18/02/2024 12:21

I think they’re fine! I’ve seen far worse 😄

NuffSaidSam · 18/02/2024 12:21

They're fine from that angle. What do they look like from the side?

Porfirio · 18/02/2024 12:21

Worn for exercise - fine.

Worn to walk around in - awful.

Thisisnotarehearsal · 18/02/2024 12:22

I really cannot see the issue

CarterBeatsTheDevil · 18/02/2024 12:22

Not to my taste but I'm not sure I'd stop someone from wearing them to go to the shops

FabFebHalfTerm · 18/02/2024 12:22

They're just trainers. Not a colour I'd pick myself, but I'd nip to the shop or whatever in them.

itsadogquestion · 18/02/2024 12:22

Not my favourite tbh but I wouldn’t think twice about anyone else wearing them

TheGrimSqueakersFlea · 18/02/2024 12:23

They look like bacon

FUPAgirl · 18/02/2024 12:24

They're OK but those aren't trainer trousers!

2chocolateoranges · 18/02/2024 12:24

Wearing for exercise is fine, wearing out I would ask you not to wear them too. They are a bit bright and don’t go with the trousers either!

RosesAndHellebores · 18/02/2024 12:24

I think they are hideous.
My DH is not keen on trainers, except for sport or for proper walking.

Fallenangelofthenorth · 18/02/2024 12:24

I think they're fine, but my boyfriend hates all my trainers, all my boots, and about 50% of my shoes because I dress like a tradie apparently

Badburyrings · 18/02/2024 12:25

TheGrimSqueakersFlea · 18/02/2024 12:23

They look like bacon

I couldn't think what they looked like but you've nailed it!

Thedogscollar · 18/02/2024 12:26

They're fine keep wearing them.

SweetFemaleAttitude · 18/02/2024 12:26

They look a bit like your feet have been bleeding.

Catsfrontbum · 18/02/2024 12:26

They look like bacon- it’s true! Cannot be unseen now

Overtheatlantic · 18/02/2024 12:27

With the trousers they’re ghastly, sorry!

BeautifulViews · 18/02/2024 12:27

I don't know why DP would be offended by them, they're fine. Does he usually make a fuss over nothing? Maybe write 'fuck off DP' on the soles then he has a good reason to feel offended.

Captainladder · 18/02/2024 12:27

If you like them, wear them! I'd probably make a point of wearing them more if I was asked by my husband not to wear them. Actually I'd think it was pretty crazy of him to
have such a strong option over a pair of shoes.
Wear what you like and (as long as it's not actually offensive - ie racist / sexist etc...) don't worry about what anyone else thinks.

Ginmonkeyagain · 18/02/2024 12:28

The colours aren't great, but most technical trainers are hideous. Mr Monkey wears some fancy trendy ones that look like the Stay-Puft Marshmallow man from Ghostbusters.

PossumintheHouse · 18/02/2024 12:29

The trainer, sock and trouser combo are a bit… much.
