Trainers - pictures - can I get away with claiming I'm being retro?!

I'm not particularly cool - nor bothered about trends.

I had been planning to buy the yellow Saucony jazz trainers but I missed them in my size/low price.

I can't find anything I like at this price. (Under £30)

I Iove the colour of the Reebok ones.

Also like the New Balance ones as I could wear them with summer dresses/skirts.

So, just how deeply uncool am I? Smile
Are either of these ok?

Aw, I love the Saucony one’s! The Reebok ones are decent, New Balance I think are kind-of dad trainers, but if you like them why not!

Gah not sure where the errant apostrophe came from!

New balance are for boden mums and loud parenting weekend dads

Reeboks are lovely though

I had literally no idea what image was associated with new balance. Now I know thanks!

Saucony ones are lovely. Wish I hadn't dithered.

So the orange ones are ok.

thanks for the feedback.

"New balance are for boden mums and loud parenting weekend dads" and what trainers do you wear, which ones are "for" rude and judgemental small minded mumsnet posters?

HaroldsSoCalledBluetits · 20/04/2018 20:42

Spot the New Balance wearer ...

Harold, your very funny!

LoniceraJaponica · 20/04/2018 20:54

Well said megansmandstop

I just wear trainers that are comfy.

I love new balance. Never bought anything from Boden (only ever seen links even on here) and I am not a mum. I love the orange trainers, I live in trainers.

CrackingEggs · 20/04/2018 21:08

I work in a fashion related field and a lot of people I work with wear New Balance. Certainly not seen as Boden. I also wear them as I get them cheap from the factory shop :)

I like all of them OP

Gazelles of course, to try and recapture my youth

TantricTwist · 21/04/2018 12:33

OP just wear what you love the look of that's how trends start anyway.

Every brand has lovely or well dodgy looking trainers to suit everyone and anyone.

Buy what gives you joy Grin

I like the yellow & orange. Don’t like the NB ones.
