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 like Adidas Gazelles but I love those Vagabond trainers, to whoever posted about them!

Have just tried the Birkenstock 3/4 insoles with my Converse as recommended by Cocolepew. They are brilliant, thanks so much!

Interesting how times change. I was bullied for having New Balance trainers in school for PE and not Nike or Adidas and now they're being recommended on here.

NB are ace but they are extremely commonplace in sarf London. Sorry you were bullied. So was I for wearing Hi-Tec - cant see those being popular now! Probably explains my extensive collection now I can afford it.

Glad the insoles worked Smile , I need to order, another pair before I start wearing my Converse again.
My old pair have fell to pieces.

BatonRouge, well at least they were better than "nicks" trainers, so the bullying wasn't that bad Grin.

I buy mine from Birkinstock online, its the cushioned ones I use.

I like Air Max with skinnies, or some of Camper's trainer-boot type things. Sadly I have had to part company with my Ash trainers as they don't fit after my last pregnancy. :(

(also I am 42, so 40 is definitely not too old for trainers!)

I have black and red Huaraches, neon multi coloured air max 90s and leather converse
