I desperately need a pair of trainers to wear with jeans/chinos as I push my double buggy for miles and miles and miles along the pavements but I have lost all sense of what is stylish...today the 20 year old sales assistant in Office had to tell me he thought one pair I was trying on was "chavvy and not at all you" Blush. So I need your help to make sure I do not make a major style faux pas!

I am mid 30s and wear a standard wardrobe of straight leg jeans and breton stripe tops! In terms of style I probably should be a Converse girl but have just never fancied them. The last pair of trainers I had were very much like these and I am thinking of getting the same thing again. Thoughts?

OK - can't get it to work. Its the 410 style in Womens Classics if you can be bothered to find them on website!

Didn't work for me either!

They're ok, I can't get excited about trainers - look good though.

x post! I know - neither can I but I can't wear anything else with the amount of walking I do at the moment and these surely have to be better than proper running trainers or walking boots which would mean I had lost my sense of style totally and would feel like my mum!

Geox had dome in their store at Stratford wesffield thought they were many £££££ for trainers but i thought they looked cool

That link worked for me. I like the shape of them but not the main colour. Mind you, I wear these beauties, so who am I to give fashion tips to. :o Blush
