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?

But I do fancy some huaraches too if I can squeeze my fat feet into them

MyFriendsCallMeOh · 12/03/2016 02:31

Adidas superstars. I absolutely love in them, mine are white with turquoise laces and grey snakeskin stripes, got them from eBay -they're fake but have lasted brilliant, I can't tell the difference, couldn't find the colors I wanted online and they were cheap as chips--

MyFriendsCallMeOh · 12/03/2016 02:31

Brilliant strike though Confused

LionsAndTigersAndBearsHaha · 12/03/2016 03:10

I have s couple of pairs of converse but most of the summer I live in Keds.

puglife15 · 12/03/2016 04:05

Stan Smiths and Veja.

Can't get my head round the mesh thing on Roches... But they look really comfy.

I hate Converse, they are so uncomfortable, and Superga don't fit me (too narrow on the toes).

FankEweVeryMuch · 12/03/2016 09:07

I have a selection.
Nike internationalist in all black. Nike air something or other in grey suede. Khaki new Balance, Stan smiths. They all suit different outfits:

puglife do you like your Veja trainers, I really like some of the styles but haven't seen any in real life. Sorry for hijack.

Hobbes8 · 12/03/2016 09:36

I've got some suede converse with a star on the front, which are sturdier and warmer than the usual canvas baseball type.

I used to have Adidas superstars and loved them, but they're so expensive now. I'm sure my old paid cost about £30 and they're now about £70. Maybe I'm just a tightwad.

puglife15 · 12/03/2016 11:21

Fank i love them but they're pale blue and yellow suede which in hindsight probably wasn't the best choice for muddy park trips with preschoolers! They are comfy and nicely cut I think. If you order on Zalando or a site like that it's free delivery and returns and you can often get £10 off.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/03/2016 13:05

I like the sound of grey suede Nikes.

5tardusty · 12/03/2016 13:06

Pink Nike free runs and i would really love some grey or black New Balance 574s.

I love trainers.

Stepawayfromthezebras · 12/03/2016 13:14

Black superstars because I can't keep white ones clean

DaphneWhitethigh · 12/03/2016 13:25

Converse (several), adidas Gazelles and some FitFlop trainers which are unattractive but unbeatable for really long distances.

nilbyname · 12/03/2016 13:34

I really like Supergas but they are such a weird fit on me so a no go.

I have 3 pairs of slip on vans
Grey
Leopard
Blue

Nike shinsen
Nike Pegasus
Nike air max

Converse all star high tops. I love the look but I don't feel
Like they give my feet much support.
I wear my asics when I am doing some serious pavement pounding like sightseeing, they are like walking on marshmallows.

Pupsiecola · 12/03/2016 18:26

New Balance in bottle green, half suede. So comfortable.

Blueberry234 · 12/03/2016 18:52

White superga and I have some silver converse

SueTrinder · 12/03/2016 21:20

I've got Converse, Vans, PF Flyers (falling to pieces but I love them) and some Boden sneakers. All leather or suede, I don't do canvas trainers and they aren't allowed at work (leather ones fine). I really want some suede pumas and I fancy some new balance suede ones as well (I have some purple NB ones for going to the gym which I love but I prefer the look of the suede ones).

IWannaHoldYourHand · 13/03/2016 12:15

I'd forgotten about my pf flyers! I'm going to dig them out.

RusholmeRuffian · 13/03/2016 12:21

I have about 160 pairs of trainers. I collect them. 90% of them are adidas but there's a few Nikes and New Balances in there too. I would never wear shoes if I didn't have to.

Stevie77 · 13/03/2016 14:28

Ooh, I like the look of those superga's Cointreau. What's the fit like? I'm a 5.5 and usually buy a 6 (in converse for example), but do they come up big?

Oldraver · 13/03/2016 19:51

I always used to wear Vans, what I think are called skate shoes..proper trainers rather than the canvas things. I wore them everyday for work where they had a lot of movement on the foot, bending at the toes and they were virtually indestructable. I'd had other trainers and they went at the toes within a few months.

The outlet I ised to get them form is no longer there and I'm down to my last two pairs so looking for something to replace them

SinglePringle · 13/03/2016 19:59

White Stan Smiths
Red Nike High top wedge trainers
White SuperGa
Cream SuperGa
White Converse
Red Converse
Grey suede Ash wedge trainers
Addidas Super Star (I've got white, colbalt blue and peach)
Cream leather high tops from Aldo

I like trainers...

Lambzig · 13/03/2016 20:07

Ash virgins in prune
White Stan smiths
Fitflop trainers in a tan colour

Cranagh · 13/03/2016 20:08

Nike Internationalist

MrsGl0ss · 13/03/2016 20:38

Currently wearing some Nike Shanghai trainers that I bought last year from Liberty. They're pretty cool and they're comfortable

doughnutslikefannys · 13/03/2016 20:42

I have maroon Adidas Gazelles, grey Nike Blazers (low top) and black Nike Free 5.0.

I'm a size 5 so I tend to buy kids trainers Grin
