I need new trainers and would like not to spend loads (just getting back into things and if I stick with it or find my sport I’ll reward myself with better kit in six months or so).

Mostly used for (very slow) running - both road and fields and the occasional bit of skipping/body weight exercise/maybe a class of some sort
Lightweight
I’ve got a neutral gait so no need to worry about over/under pronation and associated support
Least important but nice if they happen to be black or at least dark

What’s worth trying on?

I recommend looking at the sportshoes or start fitness web sites for something which meets your criteria. I've used both and found the service to be great, think they have "shoe selectors" where you can put in type of shoe/runner you are and it will recommend models for you.
Running shoes are such a personal thing but I would buy from a long standing running brand at first. Personally I like Brooks and I know they have some black styles. But Asics, Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Saucony are all long standing brands.
Usually I buy previous years models which are much cheaper than the latest model, so you get a better shoe for your budget.
I wouldn't go super cheap for running or skipping which are high impact as you may risk injury.
A couple of other places for good value trainers, Decathlon own brand are perfectly ok and I'm a big fan of Reebok running shoes (free ride) these probably aren't great for trail but are lightweight and you can usually get 20% off.
Good luck!

Is there outlet store near you for example for Nike factory outlet or ASICS outlet etc
There go back at least to 2019 season when I bought mine in Nike factory outlet so half the price.
Depending on your size and colours available u could get away with youth I think it Max at size 5.5 which are cheaper than adult.
