Trainers

[aprilmay]

I think I've spent so long looking for a pair of trainers that I've now got no idea what I like any more!

I'm looking for day-to-day wear, not sports use and something that is 'fashionable'.
Do New Balance fit the bill? I haven't got a clue anymore!

Thanks in advance!

New Balance currently v popular, but I looked ridiculous in them.

Thanks Remus. I live in Converse at the mo but fancy a change!

Adidas ones are nice. The old style ones with the shell toes are making a comeback!

I wore those in the 90s/00s I think Allie - I'm getting old!

Haha! Me too, still like them though...wishing i hadn't binned them now, they are about £80 now! Lol

It's funny isn't it, I look ridiculous in Converse but very happy with NB, I have a cream pair with a tiny bit of silver detail around the NB and love them.

I've always worn the Adidas superstars, or shell toes. Just love them.

What do you wear them with imjustahead?

Cream NB sound lovely sleepwhenidie. What do you wear them with?

Allie82, what are shell toes? Ta

Hi ones like this:

I'm getting even more confused in my trainer search cos I want ones with a proper comfy sole - I've realised that Converse kill my feet as they're too flat.

What I really want is Skechers Shape Up type things, except without the massively ugly sole. Something that literally bounce around in for 10 hours a day.

I really don't think they exist though!

I wear mine mostly with slim boyfriend jeans, just been on hols and wore them with denim cut offs but would also wear with casual dresses, particularly sporty ones these are them

I'm also planning on buying white cigarette jeans from Zara to wear with off white sweater and the NB's.

Anna I find converse uncomfortably flat too. And Supergas seem to come up big on me, or too small if I size down painful memories of thinking they'd be fine. NB's very comfy though.

Have a look at new balance, puma suede, adidas gazelle, adidas stan smith, nike pegasus 83...all of the retro styles are really in at the moment

I just got some Onitsuka Tiger trainers. Purple and lime green, retro style and bouncy! I love them.

But New Balance are also nice.

They sound nice Finance...I am also coveting these as a complete alternative to cream NB's!

Those are AMAZING! I have rheumatoid arthritis which affects my feet so wear trainers pretty much all the time. IME, Nike and New Balance are the most comfortable and supportive - can't wear Converse at all.

Allie82... I should, but I don't remember them at all :S

I wore these:

all winter. They are dead now but I love them!

Love those Bonsoir.

Sleep - I love those but they would need a complete image overhaul for me!

I'm leaning towards New Balance (back where I started!) I like the cream or navy with pink. But then burgundy too! Decisions decisions.
