Please help, I'm clueless.
I have three regular pairs of shoes: wellies, Docs, and black memory foam Sketchers. The latter are increasingly lived in as the weather gets warmer, and so comfy, but they're getting me down!
I'm not a follower of fashion by any means but I feel I need to up my game. Do people still wear Converse?
What's more comfy/convenient than Docs but a bit stylish?

No budget but must be vegan as far as possible, so no leather.

I'm late 30s, small child, don't need to dress up for work.
All suggestions gratefully received :)

I wear Converse, Adidas Gazelles and Superga trainers in white and navy. Also Birkenstock Arizonas.

Oh! And Birkenstock Boston Clogs.

Bin the Skechers now. Converse a bit meh, Adidas special/samba are a good shout, also look at onitsuga for some slimline ones (M&S do a great dupe!)

I love this site and topically- this dropped last night, really useful read!
