Help with stylish trainers

I'm looking for some decent trainers...

I wear boring skinny jeans with boring Breton t-shirts and want something like dainty converse or funky air max...
Budget up to £75 but it would have to be something pretty special for that

I'm late twenties with three young DC but look late thirties. I would like to regain a bit of style!

Hello, this thread is a little old and the links are out of date. Take a look at this handy page for a round up of Mumsnetters' favourite trainers.

Can't go wrong with vans? I have the black slip ons and the checked ones.
DS1 has a pair of the 'old skool' which I would quite fancy myself (if DP wasn't always wearing them too)
Converse are classic but if you wanna go up a style level, go for a funky pair of air max.
I bought my mum Liberty print air max in the sale a few years back, and they're still going strong!

SallyLockhartsDog · 05/11/2017 16:16

Love the liberty airmax but will have to shop around as they are £200 on Amazon Shock

I also like the Adidas superstars and hadn't considered them.

I find Vans and Superga too bulky looking on my big feet!

I wear Adidas Stan Smiths with my jeans I also have a few pairs of Sophia Webster and Valentino trainers and they’re not worth the money!

I love converse with jeans and old skool vans.

I’ve just purchased these today

m.zara.com/uk/en/printed-plimsolls-with-studs-p17714201.html?v1=4705523&v2=765518

I know they’re not technically trainers but I love them.

fuckinguseless · 05/11/2017 19:01

I alternate between Liberty Nike Internationalist, Adidas Gazelles or (my favourite) black snake Stan Smiths.

bananafish81 · 05/11/2017 19:03

I live in my stan Smiths.

Also have a nice pair of gazelles

But my love affair with the Stans runs deep

fuckinguseless · 05/11/2017 19:04

@bananafish81 They just never let you down, do they?! They’re my holy grail trainer.

mammmamia · 05/11/2017 19:04

i am considering getting the rose gold adidas superstars. Think they're limited edition. Does anyone have them? Are they worth it? They would be in your budget OP.

bananafish81 · 05/11/2017 19:09

@fuckinguseless totally. They look good with everything

I have two different styles but the classic green are my old faithfuls

Boredboredboredboredbored · 05/11/2017 19:11

Stan smiths for me too or superga in the summer

Barbie1 · 05/11/2017 19:13

Loving my black new balance, makes my camel max mara coat look young and almost fashionable.

I also favour stAn smiths for my more casual days

SallyLockhartsDog · 05/11/2017 20:03

Eeeek - you lot are too good - now have 5 pairs that I neeeeeed and cant decide. It will have to be all of them right?

A burgundy pair of gazelles
A grey pair of gazelles
Black new balance
Adidas originals in vapour steel
Baby blue Stan Smith's

I do love the plimsolls dipping but I definitely don't have the confidence to wear them!

Just sold my beautiful Oliver Sweeny brogues as I couldn't wear them after two teenagers in the street laughed at them Blush [I am well aware I need to grow a pair Grin]

Geox have a huge range. Comfortable and stylish in my view. Nike flyknits?

Growingboys · 05/11/2017 20:32

Placemarking. Still living in my Nike Huaraches which I bought this time last year, and wondering what (if anything) I should update them with...

BillyAndTheSillies · 05/11/2017 20:55

Love my air max Thea’s in metallic teal to break up my usual dainty converse.
Got my eye on a pair of saucony at the moment, I’m always using the ASOS trainer section for inspiration.

GreyBird84 · 05/11/2017 23:55

I’ve bought superstars & gazelles recently & im
Wearing the gazelles loads. I might even abay my superstars.
Also eyeing up a pair of Stan Smiths!

PookieSnackenberger · 06/11/2017 00:04

Superga - I like the leather ones in winter
New Balance
Nike Flyknit
Bimba y Lola

Callamia · 06/11/2017 00:06

I wear Liberty golas. I’m on my third pair.

curragh · 06/11/2017 06:57

I have the baby blue Stans and I luvs them

pink1173 · 06/11/2017 07:06

I have the metallic converse. Go with everything!

Dontletthebastardsgrindyoudown · 06/11/2017 07:52

I have sparkly silver superstars but find them so clumpy. So tend not to wear them. Likewise with converse. I think trainers with a running sole feel the smartest with skinnies for me. I have NB ones, and sky blue nikes like these.

This is a variety of ways I tend to style my Stans - ie I wear them with everything!
