I think I'm going to bite the bullet and give them a go. I have a 20% off voucher for ASOS ...
I'm on maternity leave so am signed up to casual/practical clothes and think some New Balance and a new pair of white Madrid Birkenstocks should see me through the summer.
I'll wear them with black Topshop Baxters for now, prob rolled up a bit when it's gets to ankle flashing weather. I'm intending to get some blue skinnies at some point too.
I'm drawn to the plum style m.asos.com/mt/www.asos.com/New-Balance/New-Balance-Burgundy-410-Heritage-Trainers/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=3828045&SearchQuery=new%20balance&Rf-700=1000&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=50&sort=-1&clr=Burgundygrey but also like the blue and grey m.asos.com/mt/www.asos.com/New-Balance/New-Balance-Blue/Grey-410-Heritage-Trainers/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=3828051&SearchQuery=new%20balance&Rf-700=1000&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=50&sort=-1&clr=Greyblue
So my query is, which colour do you have and what do you wear them with?
And how do you avoid that lost commuter look?!
