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.

Your legs are lovely, but if they could sue the rest of you for the fashion choices they probably would.

I don't mind the trainers but then again I'm also a massive fan of something like these which DP absolutely loathes so take my shoe-related opinions with a pinch of salt. 😂

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

I honestly thought this thread was going to be about the Donald’s golden high tops! Tacky, cheap-looking and coated with some kind of laminate - much like him.

Why doesn't he like them?

FluffyFanny · 18/02/2024 18:30

The peachy pink is a gross colour combined with the red inserts, they don't even have a trendy branding logo like Nike or Adidas to redeem them, but for walking the dog I couldn't give a monkey what my other half would think.

If you wear trousers like that and with heels though, then I doubt they are your worst fashion disaster anyway...

Everythinggreen · 18/02/2024 18:36

Unless you're a teenager or a trainer enthusiast, isn't a trainer a trainer 🤷‍♀️
Tell him everyone here loves them so much, they've tracked down a matching hat and jacket for you 🤣

Peaceandquietandacuppa · 18/02/2024 19:08

I would wear them doing muddy garden work, or for a run/hike only. Not for popping to shops or out with partner for a walk. I wouldn’t wear that type of trainer with those trousers either. Well I wouldn’t wear the trousers anymore either but that’s a different answer :)

Worn for exercise - fine.

Worn to walk around in - awful.

But that's true of most trainers.

GuessThatGranny · 18/02/2024 19:10

I think they look like you are wearing red socks with beige sandals. Sorry

Lovemusic82 · 18/02/2024 19:15

They are fine
your trousers are ok too

They just don’t really go together 🤣

BirthdayRainbow · 18/02/2024 19:18

I don't like them but he shouldn't dictate what you wear. Nor should posters comment on things you didn't ask about..

PersephonePomegranate23 · 18/02/2024 19:24

What's with the comments about the trousers? Leather leggings have been everywhere for months - even M&S sell them 😂

Caswallonthefox · 18/02/2024 19:26

They need a turn in the washing machine.
I would like them more with less (muddy)white and more (muddy)red.

Porfirio · 18/02/2024 12:21

Worn for exercise - fine.

Worn to walk around in - awful.

I would say the same

IloveAslan · 18/02/2024 19:30

They're just trainers - lots of people wearing similar here without attracting a second glance. Confused

facepalmdaily · 18/02/2024 19:31

Love them. If you like that, thats what counts.

Appleass · 18/02/2024 19:34

the trainers, the trousers and lastly the socks, all a mismatch and look scruffy

SheepAndSword · 18/02/2024 19:38

Reminds me of raspberries and cream

movedtothecountry · 18/02/2024 19:43

Forget the trainers, why does your partner think he has any say at all in what you wear??

boredaf · 18/02/2024 19:44

Personally don’t like them at all and honestly, my OH largely could not care less what I wear but I think he’d be raising eyebrows if I came out in these.

BUT if you like them, who cares. My opinion means naff all!

Moveoverdarlin · 18/02/2024 19:48

Listen to your DH.

Years. They look awful with the trainers.

brentwoods · 18/02/2024 20:18

I changed my vote after seeing the side view. Those trainers are trashed and dirty. Suitable for yard work only.

Redcar78 · 18/02/2024 20:24

The trousers, shoes and socks aren't great sorry OP
