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.

I'm only a 4 so I buy kids trainers and I need to go up a size but that could be cause I'm buying kids as in the Nike hurrache I had to get a kids 5.5!

I went up a size in New Balance (from a 4 or 4 1/2 to a 5) and that was definitely the right thing to do.

I tried the new balance in a size up from normal, the 420s but they were still too narrow in the front. I don't think anything will be as comfortable and stylish as the suede pumas Grin

I have given up on buying trainers, and bought more Converse instead. All of the trainers looked terrifying. I'm going to try to find some lovely bouncy insoles instead.

Remus let me know which insoles work well in the converse if you find some

Another trainer junkie here - might just have to pick up a pair of Nike Internationalists. Dam this thread!

southeastastra · 21/02/2015 21:31

am saving my liberty print air Max for what I do not know but they are so lovely all new Grin

Madamecastafiore · 21/02/2015 21:34

Trainers are for the gym or running, not something to wear otherwise in my opinion.

I wear Ash or Elia B slip ons. Have the black and am going to treat myself to the snakeskin for the spring.

southeastastra · 21/02/2015 22:13

nope trainers are the best comfortable footwear for everyday life. people who wear ash are a little fashion victim imo.

noddyholder · 21/02/2015 23:13

The river island snake trainers are fab

Skivvywoman · 22/02/2015 17:34

Noddy I need to get them and also the slip onsWink

cardamomginger · 22/02/2015 17:48

I just bought the black Stan smiths with the leopard print at the back and a pair of off-white Fred Perry's with navy suede at the back. (ASOS) Both lovely and really comfortable.

I'm obsessed with keeping mine 'box fresh' Grin If I ever get mud on my Air Max 90's I aint appy!

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Nike Pegasus 83, just received a pair from schuh and they are fab! Comfortable and not narrow like the new balance were.

I love my black converse high tops I find them really comfortable. I also wear my white new balance trainers I found them in a charity shop for £3.50 they were brand new I was so pleased at finding them one of my best finds. I also have a pair or plain black high top trainers from dune and cream wedge trainers from matalan I have had them for about two years and I wear them to death. I really want a pair of black and white nikes next or maybe some non high top converse as dp has nicked my red ones.

MissBlake · 23/02/2015 12:40

Yazzy I love those, very tempted to order a pair! They are just like what I have had in mind.

curlingandtwirling · 23/02/2015 13:58

I've been pondering this very same question. I love the Nike Pegasus.

Reminded me of this...

Victoria Beckman wears Stan Smiths!

MissBlake · 23/02/2015 14:11

MissBlake I love the black ones I have as they will go with everything but I am also tempted to order the burgundy ones too, that deep reddish shade is really popular in trainers at the moment

Decisions decisions, although I really like the black ones. Grin

noddyholder · 23/02/2015 16:24

I love my new balance but all the Mary Berry type OAPs wear them here with pink or pale blue skinny jeggings

Naicecuppatea · 23/02/2015 16:27

I saw some young girls (well compared to this old hag!) in Adidas Gazelles, trainer socks and ankle length skinnies in Top Shop. They looked great.
