Does anyone have these?!

1- what's the differences between the standard and 2?
2- what colour did you chose?
3- did the colour go with everything or did you need a few pairs?
4- will I look middle aged in them? I'm 23 but have 2 dc so need practical!

I have the first style in grey. Chose that colour as hate black trainers and wanted some that would go with everything in summer hence neutral colour. They looked fine with my cropped jeans and dresses and such. I washed them in the machine last week and they've come out fine. I wore them EVERYWHERE last summer including a holiday that involved a huge amount of walking. So comfortable and didn't smell at all! Bought those trainer socks that only really cover toes to wear with them as you can see others.

I'm 32 and worried the same about the middle aged thing. They won't win many uber style awards but I saw so many people wearing them last summer I figured we were all going to comfort. They're the best 35 quid I ever spent.

Have you ever worn them without socks? I'm looking at the grey ones too but my mil has them Confused

Really tempted by them.. I'm super super pasty though think the vampires in twilight how dark is the grey? I don't want to be washed out :/

I have just bought the navy blue ones for my 10 year old. She loves them ( wears them with slightly rolled up skinnies and cropped t shirts). She wears them with socks and without
Would consider some myself

I have the black ones and have just ordered another pair, having walked my current ones into holes over several years of wear. They are bloody great. Sooooo comfortable and I can get away with wearing them for work with smart trousers. If I could afford it I'd buy a pair in every colour.

Am not bothered about looking middle aged (as I am middle aged) but would rather skip around in these babies than slop along in my frankly uncomfortable Converse.

I have worn them without socks. In fact wore them on holiday without a few times and they didn't get wiffy which was nice!

I wear socks if I have jeans on but when I have my shorts or cropped jeans or whatever then I wear the small socks. They're a light grey colour and they look fine on me, I am rather pasty but they don't wash me out. The white sole looks funky with stuff.

Trust me. None of this will matter as soon as you put them on. They are gloriously comfortable and super light. I too would have a pair in every colour if I could. I adore skechers anyway and these just made them my favourite thing ever.

I wore my Sketchers BOB's to death last year. Sooo comfy.

Recently bought a pair of the Flex appeal trainers with Memory foam which are just Bliss and perfect for the gym.

Im now tempted by these:

Thank you so much for the reviews! 100% going to buy some now! Will go for the grey, has anyone seen any offers on them? They are fairly expensive.... I'm excited!!

I've got the memory foam ones and they're so comfortable I really don't care what people think of them Grin

This is the cheapest I can find the grey. Are they true to size? I'm normally a 7..

I got the grey ones last summer - they're ok but I didn't wear them as much as I thought I would. They made my feet really hot without socks and they were just a bit too clumpy for me.

I also got some of the memory sole trainers which I have worn much, much more - I think cos they look more like normal shoes and less like something my granny would wear. But again they do make my feet really hot in the summer.

Sports direct are usually a a smidge cheaper. I think they suggest sizing down a little. I'm usually an 8 and think mine are 7. They fit perfectly.
