Casual trainers- what do you wear?

just that really, it might be warm enough to ditch the boots soon, but not warm enough for my beloved Birkenstocks!

What do you wear?

I mean casual trainers rather than gym/ running shoes! :)

I've got dark grey canvas converse with a pink star on the side. They're great.

Nike Roshe Runs or Air Max (I have a small collection at this stage of the Liberty-print ones). Quite like Adidas Superstars as well.

Snapespeare · 11/03/2016 12:33

Puma suedes. Super comfy.

LittleCandle · 11/03/2016 12:37

Skechers. Memory foam soles and lovely bright colours!

I've got many casual trainers. Probably too many.

Grey converse, navy supergas and black new balance. I think it's best to stick with dark/neutral to avoid looking like a children's TV presenter.

I think the new balance are my favourites in terms of look and comfort. Some people might think they are a bit last season though because they seemed to be all the rage a few years ago.

I've got New Balance, navy blue, part suede.

Thingamajiggy · 11/03/2016 12:47

Converse always look good. You need a pair of white plimsoles too. Superga are great. I've got some beautiful ethical trainers from Veja in bright colours and am coveting vans Skate high tops.

I wear a pair of Burgundy suede Puma Trainers. They are so comfy, and look quite smart.

Didiusfalco · 11/03/2016 13:30

Lovely comfy memory foam sketchers here too.

IHaveBrilloHair · 11/03/2016 13:55

Converse, various types and my beloved Ash virgins

IWannaHoldYourHand · 11/03/2016 14:07

Reebok Classics, like it's the 90's.

WhereDidAllThoseYesterdaysGo · 11/03/2016 14:10

I have black Stan smiths. They have a bit of leopard on them.
I've also got some white ones for spring.
Also some red converse.

I love trainers.

DianaT1969 · 11/03/2016 20:30

Love my blue Nike flyknit 4.0

DiscoDancer · 11/03/2016 21:10

Just bought some grey new balance after my beloved Adidas gazelles gave up the ghost. Agree with pp about sticking to neutral colours

southeastastra · 11/03/2016 21:11

supergas are really comfy

dragonsarebest · 11/03/2016 21:18

White Nike air force 1 lows or khaki MD runner mids, but I have spent three months coveting some burgundy pegasus 83s. I am apparently a Nike girl!

feudebois · 11/03/2016 21:23

Converse - I like the leather low top ones best and have three pairs, plus a couple of canvas ones for summer.

Nike Roshe for when I need cushioning!
