Trainers for a city break

Recommend me some trainers to take away for a weekend city break. Converse are too narrow and Superga not quite supportive enough and a bit heavy. Please help Confused

New balance with gel insoles. No competition.

Hoppinggreen · 20/05/2015 20:02

I've got some cash kidston Gola ones, really comfy and supportive

yazzy85 · 20/05/2015 20:28

I don't like the big N either on the Nee Balance but the 420s look like the ideal trainer.

That's what I liked about the single colour nike max. Although it does have a logo on it, it's very not noticeable as it blends with the colour - whatever that colour is - like this :

www.asos.com/nike/nike-air-max-command-ice-blue-trainers/prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4965842&clr=Iceblue&SearchQuery=nike+air+max+women&pgesize=9&pge=0&totalstyles=9&gridsize=3&gridrow=2&gridcolumn=1

and if you are wearing trousers the logo on the top of the heel and the tongue are covered anyway.

Good grief the NB ones are ugly!

if you have one nearby, just go to Sports Direct and have a look and a try on. So many to choose from and half the price of anywhere else. Look in the kids ranges too if you have smaller feet.

Notname · 20/05/2015 23:03

Nike air pegasus are v comfy and look great i think. I wamted some nike air max but found these much comfier. And I have quite big feet and they still look nice (I think!).

Notname · 20/05/2015 23:05

Nike air pegasus 83 (there's other types apparently). Lots of lovely colours too.

BadgersArse · 21/05/2015 02:26

I have new balance and some nikes. And some gum nikes. I just chose s colour I liked. Son had got some asics to wear in NYC he's a skater and skate type trainers too flat. He pronounced most comfy ever.

His topshop working in gf went. Refused to consider asics. One day there went and got herself some Asics for her tiny feet.

Both conclude asics are cool and the comfiest.

Adidas Superstars. Leather trainers won't get your feet wet in the rain!

yazzy85 · 21/05/2015 12:20

I ordered the Pegasus 83 in burgundy, couldn't get my size in black. Hopefully they will look good in person as well!

Notname · 21/05/2015 13:25

Hurrah I love the pegasus and they're soooo comfy. They do lots of lovely colour combinations (tho the one I fell in love with was out if stock in the ok so I ended up buying them from a Lithuanian website!).

Notname · 21/05/2015 13:28

www.stories.com/gb/Shoes/Sneakers/Nike_Internationalist/582741-102367215.1 i have my eye on these

noddyholder · 21/05/2015 13:29

love those!

FreeButtonBee · 21/05/2015 13:34

Living in London, I wear New Balance or Addidas Gazelles.

NB are EVERYWHERE and even my DH has a pair which he wears to work every day in navy and bright orange. The N is less noticeable when wearing with jeans anyway. And vv comfy.

My trendy nanny wears nikes - all black.

Notname · 21/05/2015 13:37

Those internationalist ones are lovely, but my feet are big and would prob look huge if they were white! Surprisingly they don't look too bad in the purple pegasus ones. I also love these pegasus :)

Notname your purple pair of nikes is lovely!! I like the look of the teal ones too...might be odd if I start a collection of the pegasus sneakers in varioua colours, they are all just so nice it's tempting Smile

noddyholder those are beautiful trainers, I would worry about getting them dirty with my little kids. They would be lovely for summer!

Like the grey nikes nod!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 21/05/2015 18:19

I'd like a pair just like the Nike or NB but without the stupid N or the stupid tick.

noddyholder · 21/05/2015 18:30

Grin I like the stupid tick I am a trainer fiend though I just can't get enough!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 21/05/2015 19:04

I have only ever owned two pairs of trainers since I stopped doing PE at school. But I feel the need for cushioning!
