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.

@Fallenangelofthenorth interested in your look! Sounds very practical.

Charlize43 · 18/02/2024 17:12

I hate to ask but what on earth are you wearing - leather leggings?

The seams remind me of a sofa. I'm sorry.

Yes, the trainers are 'absolutely ghastly' as well.

OrangeMarmaladeOnToast · 18/02/2024 17:17

They're not to my taste but unremarkable for the supermarket or similar.

Cuckoochanel80 · 18/02/2024 17:18

Not for me but ffs wear what you want

viques · 18/02/2024 17:18

They could be worse, a lot worse, apparently Trump has gone into trainer design. His are gold. So not only would you be wearing hideous trainers you would be adding to the wealth of a foul mouthed, sexist, racist oaf. Taking that into consideration I think your trainers are the epitome of subtle good taste.

Trulyme · 18/02/2024 17:20

Love the trainers!

I love bright things but they could do with a bit of a clean and would look much better.

I am obsessed with your leather trousers/leggings though.

Not everyone has the legs for them but it looks like you definitely do.

Kemblefordsnice · 18/02/2024 17:23

Trainers are okay but , like others, I'm not sure they go with the trousers . In fact I'd ditch the trousers.
Sorry .

Jingleballs2 · 18/02/2024 17:23

From a side view I think they're fine! I mean a bit grubby (like mine) but the style themselves are fine

KirstenBlest · 18/02/2024 17:25

Ugly trainers are in. Plastic leggings aren't my thing. If you like them wear them.

diamondpony80 · 18/02/2024 17:34

My personal opinion is that they are quite an ugly color and even worse with the trousers. However, I don't care what people wear (and think everyone should wear whatever they want) so if I saw you walking down the street I wouldn't give your attire a second glance.

duc748 · 18/02/2024 17:39

They are classier than these, which I saw a guy wearing recently! 😃

Well I'm home now, and yes I had walked the dog and in all honesty didn't see the point in cleaning them before sorting out a hideously grotty house.
Point taken on the trousers. I'd not normally combine the two. They're just comfortable, warm and wipe clean!
I am a pretty 'out there' dresser at times but I don't really mind what people think generally
I'm used to commentary! DP however never usually minds. It is just these trainers.
I will clean them and post another photo-I do only ever wear them for a quick shop trip or the gym usually. DP Just cannot STAND them 😆
And thank you for the leg compliment-Im quite an athletic shape.

I really don’t like them with the trousers. Might be ok with muted tracksuit bottoms.

Chickenpie35 · 18/02/2024 17:42

If you like then you like them. Wear them if you like them.

Please re think the trouser, socks & trainers as a combo. I don't know where you're from but where I am from I swear nobody would do that

Missingmyusername · 18/02/2024 17:42

Have you seen Trumps gold £300 trainers- now they’re ugly!

januaryjan · 18/02/2024 17:43

Sorry OP, I'm with your partner on this. They look like the footwear choice of one who has given up.
The dirt of them reenforces this impression.

Gophering · 18/02/2024 17:46

GalileoHumpkins · 18/02/2024 13:01

I love coloured trainers but those aren't great. As an outfit overall the shoes, socks and trousers are pretty bad.

This is what I was feeling. Those trousers look like they’d be fine on a night out but not with stripey socks and trainers.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 18/02/2024 17:46

I think they are fine - I wouldn't clock them one way or the other.

Newmummypamela · 18/02/2024 17:47

Sorry, they are awful and, asides from that, don't go with the trousers at all! They also look scruffy/trampy.

Wexone · 18/02/2024 17:47

Would look far better with dark denim crop jeans and no socks showing

robertsmith · 18/02/2024 17:50

I like cropped trousers with socks showing. But plain or coloured ones.

itsmyp4rty · 18/02/2024 17:51

Yeah i was more offended by the trousers - shiny blue plether? But I see they're actually black so must just be the picture. The trainers aren't brilliant but they must have been on some sort of super sale or something for you to buy them in that colour surely? They'd probably have been fine if you bought them in black rather than bacon though.

TruckerMother · 18/02/2024 17:54

TheGrimSqueakersFlea · 18/02/2024 12:23

They look like bacon

😂

I wouldn't bother with trying to clean them (trainers) OP. Do the humane thing by taking them out the back and shooting them.
