What's everyone wearing instead of Converse these days?

Just that really. After some stylish trainers for Autumn. Never found Chuck Taylors that comfy and they seem a bit done to death now. What's everyone wearing?

You'll prise my cons off my cold dead feet!

I have some gold short of snakeskin textured leather ones that I love and they get loads of compliments.

MrsJayy · 06/07/2018 08:50

I love mine i don't go out landish 😀they are just leather flats but they are comfy

donajimena · 06/07/2018 08:51

I'm still wearing converse. I like them.

MsHomeSlice · 06/07/2018 08:53

I am still wearing mine too! And the occasional rocketdog lookee-likee :o

egginacup · 06/07/2018 08:55

I’m a big fan of Toms. When it gets too cold/wet for them I switch to boots

LonginesPrime · 06/07/2018 08:55

Um, converse.

Celticlassie · 06/07/2018 08:57

Still converse here too. Bought New Balance to try to be trendy but still wear converse more often than not.

unintentionalthreadkiller · 06/07/2018 08:59

Something very odd has happened to my feet and I can no longer wear my trusty cons. I have New Balance trainers which are super comfy and supergas which are ok but not as comfy which is more down to my feet than the shoes!

SlideAway82 · 06/07/2018 09:03

I live in my Stan Smiths! Most comfortable trainers I've ever owned.

Notquiteagandt · 06/07/2018 09:13

I wear toms, gazelles, stan smiths, supergas.

BobbinThreadbare123 · 06/07/2018 09:22

Still wearing the Cons. The leopard print ones with black trim and metal studs I am rocking today agree that they are still the best.

MrsRubyMonday · 06/07/2018 09:27

Vans always fit me better than converse. Recently had to retire my favourite pair and my new ones aren't broken in properly yet. Very annoying

bookbuddy · 06/07/2018 09:28

Toms or vans atm

GGCH · 06/07/2018 09:45

Veja is always a good bet!

TigerDroveAgain · 06/07/2018 09:48

evilharpy I’ve got silver leather sort of snakeskin one which I adore although they are on their last legs Sad.

I’m on a shoes/clothes economy drive, but may have to replace them soonSmile

BigCarrot · 06/07/2018 10:08

Adidas gazelles!

SchnitzelVonKrumm · 06/07/2018 10:10

Always Converse. I've got narrow feet and anything else looks like I've strapped a couple of barges to my feet.

M0reGinPlease · 06/07/2018 12:48

Converse just aren't that comfy for me any more, they don't seem as well made as they used to be and always seem to pinch my outer toes.

Adidas nisa lo in white, comfy and go with everything

princessbear80 · 06/07/2018 13:06

Nike internationalist for me. Much comfier then converse.

mammmamia · 06/07/2018 22:39

Adidas gazelles. My converse also pinch my outer toes.

Gardai · 06/07/2018 22:50

I’ve gone for plain white leather fit flop trainers - very comfy and I can walk miles - I still have my white converse but I found them quite flat and uncomfortable (I’m getting old).

Discotits · 06/07/2018 22:53

Gazelles.

fanominon · 06/07/2018 22:53

Supergas. In white and rose gold.
