What do people wear on their feet?

[runningtogetskinny]

Obviously, shoes I know! But what kind? I am seriously considering buying black trainers to wear with dresses and skirts, in the winter I wear boots with skirts, DM shoes with thick tights, or I wear boots or trainer type with jeans. In the summer I wear converse with jeans but really struggle to find anything comfortable to wear with a skirt! I went out on Friday night in some lovely slipper/pump type shoes yet they were killing my feet after walking 1/2 mile! I run quite a lot and can wear trainers or converse for work so no problem there but when I try to go out more dressed up my feet just can't take shoes - help?!

White trainers look better with bare legs than black I think. Any kind of trainer goes these days, or brogues which is my plan for next week. I'm eyeing up these

What's your budget like? Have a look on the enbrogue blog for flat shoe ideas. But you could wear brogues or loafers or mules or sandals or trainers or espadrilles or mary janes.

Thanks to you both, those brogues are beautiful and the sort of thing I was thinking of so I'm pleased someone else thinks they'd look good - bit out of my price range but I'm sure I'd find something similar. The website link with the superga shoes is very helpful, I have some lower cut converse in gold that I wore a lot last year so maybe some of those is another option. I'm at the age where I just can't be arsed putting up with blisters or sore feet just for the sake of convention!

I usually wear either Dr Marten boots or shoes or converse, with the odd pair of other non specific branded thick soled shoes. I struggle to walk so use two crutches all the time and I've found that thick soled shoes are the best for me to walk in. before I ended up this way, i wore a lot of ballet pumps through the summer but they aren't an option any longer

I'm a trainer collector(hence my name on here)
I wear them everyday but also have dozens of pairs I have never worn.
White trainers go with everything..(Adidas Stan Smith or Superstars)
Black trainers don't.

Hi, yes I agree white trainers go with far more things especially in spring/summer. I think my thoughts on black trainers were based on the fact I very rarely have bare legs and usually wear jeans or opaque black tights. I have very chunky calves that are best kept covered

I'm the same and wear black opaques daily.
I've never worn and black trainers with them as every time I go to it just doesn't look right.
White trainers with work wear are very on trend right now too.
Plus if you go for some white Stan Smith,the are waterproof and wipe clean.
Depending on your size,there's loads of bargains to be had too.

Thanks Addidasgirl I'm going to look for some and add to my comfy shoe collection

*adidas sorry for adding an erroneous 'd'

I've got knee length/ otk boots, ankle boots for winter.

For spring / summer I've just bought some cute moccasins from Clark's (currently 20%) off.

I will wear them with skirts jeans & dresses.

I also wear sparkly flip flops/ sandals in hot weather.

I like trainers but I prefer wearing them to the gym or on long walks.

Just ordered white Stan Smiths in the sale

I wear absolutely everything. Stilettos to ballet pumps, brogues to Converse.

These were my latest purchase. I love them.
