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.

I'm with you 0/10

I was going to say ok until I saw the side view. They’re filthy. Either give them a good clean or get rid.

Side view! Please ignore dirty carpet, we're cleaning out a house at the moment, not at home!

Thank you for all opinions so far, going to show DP the thread 🤣
Yes I'd never wear them for anything other than casually but I don't usually anyway. I like quite gaudy, bright things.

I'm intrigued about them not going with the trousers as they're black? But must be the style. I'd usually wear these trousers with heels to go out somewhere in fairness I just thew them on this morning.

Is this a joke post, OP? Why are you apologising for a ‘dirty carpet’ that doesn’t look dirty, meanwhile the trainers are very grubby? Are you trying to be ironic in some way? That, as well as the fact PP’s are saying the trainers have done the rounds online before is making me think it’s supposed to be a piss take thread?

Either way, the (original) colour of the trainers is horrible in my opinion, and I wouldn’t want to be seen dead in them.

Well the carpet is pretty manky. Not as bad as the trainers but definitely needs a good shampoo!

soupfiend · 19/02/2024 07:00

The carpet isnt manky at all and you cannot tell from that small snapshot if it needs a shampoo, it just hasnt been hoovered, are you for real?

Teachin · 19/02/2024 07:02

The carpet looks normal
the trainers are ok

converseandjeans · 19/02/2024 09:06

They're not great & the trousers, socks & trainers all clash. They need a good wash if you're going to carry on wearing them.

How is the carpet manky? Maybe it’s just me then because I don’t see it, and in comparison to the shoes it’s pretty clean so my point still stands. Why apologise for the carpet while happily showing filthy trainers? 😂

Yes it is clean compared to the trainers and I have also said this. But it is still grimy and could do with a good shampoo. I am not sure what else to say about it.

Mumof3PrettyBoys · 19/02/2024 18:15

Nothing wrong with them imo - i rather like the colour! The socks and/or trousers was not part of what OP asked so no comment there - the kicks are perfectly fine though

FreddieMercurysCat · 19/02/2024 18:28

I like them. However, I say that with the caveat that I own about 15 pairs of trainers all of different colours ranging from black to neon bright and every colour in between. My husband doesn’t bother saying anything because he knows I’ll wear them anyway :D

cremebrulait · 19/02/2024 18:31

Maybe they remind DP of someone.

WoosMama13 · 19/02/2024 18:40

Trainers are quick and practical. Not my colour, but if I wore them, I'd pair them with jeans or something. End of the day, it's footwear. Your comfort and personal style is all that matters!
Maybe he'd like to run the errands, so you don't have to go out in them if he has such a big problem?

Justifiedcheese · 19/02/2024 18:42

They're fine. Anyhow, if you like them, who gives a toss ?

CestLaVie123 · 19/02/2024 18:54

They look nice to me OP! (Not my style, but objectively nice.) So do the trousers! I dont know why people say the trainers dont go with black trousers.
The trainers do need a good clean though

Ohhoho · 19/02/2024 19:03

They’re pink and garish .. which are an acquired taste

Mrsgreen100 · 19/02/2024 19:32

Bit worried about the trousers tbh
deff not with the trainers

Mere1 · 19/02/2024 19:48

This!

Smugglerstop · 19/02/2024 20:51

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

Is a tradie a tradesperson? Is he being a bit of a snob? Why is it bad to look like one, if there is indeed one 'look' for ALL tradespeople? I'm glad you've taken no notice and carried on in your own style. :)

Julimia · 19/02/2024 20:56

But the trainers are not on his feet are they? So what is his problem?

SurelySmartie · 19/02/2024 21:08

What’s all this about dirty trainers, whose trainers are clean? Are you all walking round in pristine trainers or something?

Brandy70s · 19/02/2024 21:28

I voted YABU as they look a bit like they have holes in the toe at first glance and wouldn’t be my first choice of colour…. Then I remembered I go to the shops in fluorescent orange crocs, so I think you can discount my vote!

I personally would never let me partner wear those.

Your partner is an adult and doesn’t need your permission to wear whatever they want.

True, but she wouldn't wear them either.
