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?

Superga. Love them.

Adidas campus/gazelles they go with everything

TrueBlue22 · 07/07/2018 08:21

Stan smiths and supergas

CheckoutFive · 07/07/2018 08:25

I wear Vans or New Balance. Always have and probably always will!

tierraJ · 07/07/2018 08:39

Pumas in pale pink suede

chickedychicked · 07/07/2018 08:42

Vejas or vans

Jorah · 07/07/2018 08:43

Stan smiths.

Hate converse, too flat.

StayGoldPonyBoy · 07/07/2018 08:45

Superga. They’re rounder so don’t do the toe pinchy thing which is why I fell out with converse, too. I love my New Balance as well, they’re soooo comfy

ememem84 · 07/07/2018 08:55

I rotate between converse, Adidas superstars, boots, flip flops.

NorthernSpirit · 07/07/2018 09:10

Love the look of converse but they are flat and don’t support the foot.

I’m now wearing a rage of Adidas - stylish and much more supportive

thethoughtfox · 07/07/2018 09:20

cons.

motortroll · 07/07/2018 09:23

Rocket dogs. Cons don't fit over bunions!

Lentilbaby · 07/07/2018 09:29

Never suited Converse....currently in white and grey Air Max.

FinallyARainbow · 07/07/2018 09:31

Gazelles

Scabetty · 07/07/2018 16:17

Love my supergas and Stan Smiths. Converse gave me pains in my heels.

GetOffTheTableMabel · 07/07/2018 16:26

Adidas Samba. White leather with off-white suede.
Really pleased with them.

posieperkinandpootle · 08/07/2018 09:24

Stan Smiths. Also DS is now same size as me so I'm looking forward to wearing his gazelles when he outgrows them (probably about a months timeWink).
Has anyone else tried Arkk trainers. I bought a pair in a sort of shell pink shade as they are literally the comfiest shoes I've ever put on my feet. Hoping for a dark pair for Autumn/Winter but can't decide whether to go black/khaki or something else

TipseyTorvey · 08/07/2018 09:41

I bought the silver trainers from mint velvet and love them but still wear my white converse if they're clean enough. Hate having to clean them all the time though.

QueenofLouisiana · 08/07/2018 09:45

Superga, I’ve always preferred them to converse. Mainly living in sandals and cheap canvas espadrilles from a French supermarket at the moment though!

Badtasteflump · 08/07/2018 10:32

Puma suedes - super comfy and go with anything. I never found Converse comfy at all.

PNGirl · 08/07/2018 11:29

Adidas Miss Stan at the moment. As they're white with limited navy bits they look nice with summer dresses.

I used to love my Converse hi tops but they just don't look right any more! I have a pair of black low tops printed with grey roses that I do still wear but they only really go with plain black, red, or white and I wear a lot of navy.
