Cool trainers! Do I sound like Alan Partridge ?

[CharizMa]

Mint Velvet and Hush both have a pair that are ok, but I want something a little edgier.

love these but the price confuses me a lot so i won't buy this pair!!!

Hello, this thread is a little old and the links are out of date.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.

I really want these!

Ooooer, those are nice Buster. This thread is just making my trainer wish list longer and longer.

I know Count if it was pay day I'd order them, I'm going on a long holiday in the summer and I'm buying stuff each month for it, I always wear trainers on my travels, I'm not a sandal fan so these beauties are just perfect for me!

Despite being a massive fan of stars and starry embellishments (even my user name reflects this!) I can’t help but think that stars on trainers = can’t take seriously. I bought some of those Ash ones which are sold through hush and thought I looked like a clown going bowling in them.

Personally I love Superstars, Stan Smiths and Vejas. The black Superstars with rose gold metal toes are my particular fave.

Not sure about the shape of the Golden Gooses; just a bit ‘built up’ to me.

Converses are mumsy. Supergas less so (although having seen Kate Middleton wear them, I’m starting to see the sentiment in that!)

Love those gold Nikes that were featured upthread 😍

Nice buster

I wear black Nike Tanjuns or black and white Superstars most of the time but I do have some very cool 80s-esque Nike Airs and some black and bronze New Balance. I just buy what I like!

Great thread. I tried to start one of these a while ago and was told off for being try hard wanting cool trainers!

Have perved over loads of these and might have to buy some Vejas. But love the Crime London ones too.

Thanks all!

Ooo just checked out the Vejas. These are nice!

And these

AIBU that I really like these?
Im 34 and a mum, so probably yes?

I've ordered some Vejas. Very excited. But I also want the last two pairs linked here too!

I love my Supergas.

I’m not offended by the mumsy comments I know I’m not coolalthough I am laughing to myself at the irony of this thread on mumsnet just sayin

I live in converse!

But I live in authentically knacked up, scruffy ones, not pretend knacked up ones, hence I am retro grunge and totes amazeballs.

Converse is my second skin!

Well yes, worrying too much about being cool makes you uncool by default
obvs

It can go either way growingboys see last post!!

I know i dress well and im not in need of any validation because of course my style is my own given age height budget taste '^eye'

The thread was meant to be fun and almost every got that thankfully.

Neither of those things should have any impact on what you choose to wear. Can an 18 year old Mum wear those trainers? What about a childfree 50 year old?

Yes countfosco, i was thinking that surely beyond the baby stages being a mum is neither here nor there.

I have always liked clothes and fashion and had an idea how i want to look and even when funds were very low i didnt give up.

What does dressing like a mum even mean?

where are those hi tops from please @smiledwiththerisingsun ?

I am jumping on this bandwagon too after my work ‘relaxed’ the dress code this week- I will have to wear a polo shirt and black jeans from March onwards and I’m really struggling with what to wear on my feet- I’m thinking trainers but I don’t know what colour or anything. I’ve not worn trainers for 25 years! It some of these are lovely.

In a trainer related incident, I've just told dh to fuck off. I bought some pale pink suede Pumas in the sale for our hol at Easter. Not flash, can dress up. He said they are common. In fact all trainers are common. He has never worn them ever, because they are common. At this point the f bomb was dropped (no, he does not dress in anyway fashionably or stylishly. He lives in Cat boots till they fall off his feet)

smiled I have those very high tops in black. They are lovely and super comfy for my knackered mumsy hips and feet
Theonly they are from Crime London. My youngish/cool hairdresser told me she loved my trainers today (was wearing a different pair). They are Nike air and have an animal print, like the picture but grey animal print and red tick...

Op, you need to stop googling and go and try some trainers on.

Trainers are so much about the shape and what you are planning to wear them with. A lovely looking trainer online might look all wrong with the outfits you have described.

Hettie OMG them trainers 👌🏻👌🏻😍

Where are they from !?! I NEED them
