Trainers (ish) ie. i have absolutely no intention of doing exercise in them...

I need some sort of trainerish shoes to wear with jeans. So comfortable and a bit trendy - but def not ordinary trainers. The last ones I bought were a few years agi and I think they were Ted Baker.

So not white, probably with a velcro strap across. Are there any alternatives to converse ??

Thank you ! Not sure where to look x

Sports shops will have 'leisure trainers' (or whatever they call them). I've got a pair of Pumas (not velcro) that go well.

my cousin has a lovely black pair os sketchers, not velcor strap though, elasticated. but they hardly look liek trainers and she walks alot so they must be comfy.

Havingkittens · 09/01/2011 17:24

I have some black ones of those with about 8 different colour stripes. I got 3 sets with the shoes and then went on ebay and bought some more colours. Love 'em.

Sports Direct have Dunlop Green Flash with velcro for £14.99. Absolute bargain! Sorry on phone so can't do links.
