trainers to wear with skinny jeans??

[yazzy85]

Which trainers are fasionable to wear with skinny jeans these days? I can't get on with my converse ones as they really hurt my feet.

Sorry OP, but I really don't like either that you've linked Much prefer the Adidas in white and there are much nicer New Balance trainers than those ones you've linked.

I don't care what's fashionable tbh. Though I like the NB ones I am still a big fan of old school trainers. Like the Puma ones or Adidas Gazelles or similar. They have a full range of colours. I have got about 5 pairs of the puma ones!

can't go wrong with any of the adidas classics IMO
i have peacock blus sambas and red gazelles
i think the key to any trainer looking decent with skinny jeans is forgoing socks, although it's about 2 degrees here so am swapping style for warm ankles today

DontKillMyVibe I really like those puma ones! Are they comfortable and not too narrow? Although the white stans are perfect, I prefer darker colours because I am out quite a bit with two messy toddlers

Lots of bloggers are wearing Stan Smiths, but personally I think they look bloody awful.

I have leather Converse, which are more comfortable than the canvas ones. They are fine for day to day, but I really need something cushioned for city breaks when I walk for miles. The New Balance ones look fairly inoffensive.

Gazelles. I'm trying to get my hands on the pale blue ones (and relive my 90's youth!)

I like the gazelles and pumas, they look classic and stylish. Which are better for wider feet the gazelles or suede pumas?

Can someone explain to me why bloggers opinions are important

OP - I find the puma suede classics very comfy. Don't think they're too narrow but I don't have v wide feet so can't help you much on that one I'm afraid. I think the gazelles may be narrower but will wait to see what others reckon.

Vixx - I don't think bloggers opinions are important as such, but the OP was asking for trainers that are in at the moment. I guess if bloggers, fashion pages etc feature something often it's a sign that something is 'in'.

I like fashion blogs to get ideas and inspiration but there is also I lot of stuff that they recommend/wear that I wouldn't go near due to personal taste/not suiting me.

Which bloggers do you look at?

I really like New Balance, mine are black/grey/purple (mainly black) and I even wear them with black opaque tights and skirts. I'm sure someone would come along and say that's a fashion faux pas though, but I don't care.

I don't think anybody is saying that bloggers' opinions are important, but they do seem to all copy each other and wear the same shoes for a few weeks before leaping onto something else.

agree stan smiths vile
I have maroon new balance that i like a lot. In fact I find it hard to wear anything else

... They'd tend to be the ones I visit the most. Have a few others bookmarked but not too fussed on them.

What about these beauts?

Honestly, why did they think anyone would wear these?

nike internationalists or supergas which are more plimsolls

i have some from superdry which are really comfy, they have stars on the side and a slight hidden tiny wedge.

I've just ordered some of these: www.asos.com/Vagabond/Vagabond-Kasai-Black-Textile-Lo-Trainers/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4501854

They look a bit like the Nike Roshe, but without the big white swoosh on the side. I just wanted something sleek and black to wear with jeans/ cropped trousers when it gets a bit warmer - and hopefully these won't make my feet look too massive! We shall see...

Personally I am not that in touch with fashion, just getting back into things after wearing maternity stuff for a few year so if something is being featured on blogs I know others are wearing it and it must be trendy or fashionable at the moment.

Those Vagabond ones I just linked to - I've seen them on a couple of blogs, e.g. viennawedekind.com/2014/03/07/golden-hour/ and just liked the pared-back look of them.

Admittedly that post is from last year, but still good for inspiration I think. I don't think I'm brave enough to wear them with slouchy leather cuffed-ankle joggers though :)

I got some really soft and comfy gel insoles when I bought my converse and they are the most comfortable shoes I own.

Wasn't too keen on them on the asos site Elks but I really like the way they look on that blog

Yeah, they're maybe a bit... synthetic looking? I often dismiss shoes because of the close-up view, forgetting that when they're on my feet, they'll be quite far away! Hoping they'll look nice on.

hmm, those vagabonds have a strong whiff of Ecco abotu them
