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.

They look like bacon

mmmmm bacon....

MyNewMumsynetName · 18/02/2024 13:33

Sorry OP but I think you need a style overhaul.

Skinny plastic leather trousers 👎🏻
Dirty old trainers 👎🏻
Stripey blue socks combined with the above 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Your partner is right. Get rid!

Creatureofhabit87 · 18/02/2024 13:34

Love funky trainers! I have these… always get told how cool they are even if they are a bit out there!!

It’s Sunday morning, you’re doing chores so scruffy trainers are fine. I’d say they are a bit naff but hasn’t he got anything better to moan about??

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

This and the socks!

LOVE the trainers!

(not too keen on the trousers though - reminds me of the Friends episode with Ross in the bathroom)

😂

I need more pictures but on first glance, hideous and the trousers arent much better but combined they are double hideous

I often have to tell my OH what to wear unfortuanately, he has terrible taste

Presuming he's an adult, why do you feel it necessary to police his choices?

Because otherwise he would go out in a male version of a hideous outfit like OPs

Ive got to think about my eyes!!!

That’s exactly what I thought 🤣

10ThousandSpoons · 18/02/2024 13:38

They look horrible and I agree they look a bit like bacon or meat 🥓 . But who cares its your feet

ShowOfHands · 18/02/2024 13:39

Wear whateverTF you like. You evidently feel comfortable in them and like them so that's all you need to know.

I wear Aldi trainers occasionally and my colleague keeps calling me "brave". She spends literally hundreds of pounds on trainers and says she'd die of shame if she wore them. I find that bonkers.

Teenangels · 18/02/2024 13:41

The trainers are awful, dirty and need a good clean.

Why are you wearing them with those trousers and blue socks, if I was your friend I would be telling you to get changed.

bluebeck · 18/02/2024 13:42

The trainers are filthy but otherwise OK

The trousers are ghastly, and the fact you would wear them with heels is giving me the vapours 😉

I know! As if they are 'going out' trousers!!

Your colleague sounds like a bit of a c*nt.

I'm quite into style and fashion, and see lots of women in the office wearing outdated, ugly or unflattering things. But I always keep those thoughts to my self.

Did you asked for her unfiltered opinion? Even then I'd never phrase it like that. Confused

Goneforaride · 18/02/2024 13:44

Not my style, but they're your feet. Def would not wear them with those trousers. On balance I agree with your DP ( ... and I wouldn't wear those trousers either ... )

HawkersEast · 18/02/2024 13:50

I'm sorry but the color is ghastly. They dont pair at all with those trousers and then the socks!

Scalottia · 18/02/2024 13:51

@soupfiend ok I do see your point! 😂

Raincloudsonasunnyday · 18/02/2024 13:52

Those would be positively mundane round my parts. Your DH would have a fit if he saw what people wear here.

That said, I’m having a fit at how filthy they are 😱

JamieJ93 · 18/02/2024 13:53

Put them on vinted 😏

ClumsyNinja · 18/02/2024 13:54

As long as they keep your feet dry, they're grand, although I tend to wear my manky stuff for gardening in.

Who on earth wears trainers without socks?? Surely your feet would get sticky and sweaty?

Beetlebumz · 18/02/2024 14:01

They’re filthy op! Stick them in the washing machine 👍

Kerantli · 18/02/2024 14:01

They're not my style but I'm also pretty unadventurous when it comes to my trainers (the most colourful I've ever had was purple, usually stick to white or black)
My partner thinks they're not the greatest (and is reminded of bacon in the colour scheme)

@SeriousAlligator

They're OK, but those trousers!!! Shock Not sure about them. Also, tbh, the trainers look terrible with the trousers!

ichundich · 18/02/2024 14:06

I like them! But would probably only wear them for exercise or in the summer with white / light jeans, etc.
