Are super ga trainers ‘mumsy’?

Looking for some trainers that are a) good for wider feet and b) look nice with dresses for summer. Super ga pumps have caught my eye but I’m early 20s and didn’t know whether they are predominantly worn by more middle-aged women or seen as a bit on the ‘mumsy’ side (I know they are a fave of Kate Middleton apparently). I know it doesn’t really matter and we should wear whatever we want but I’m have a tough time choosing/finding some. TIA

Italian teenagers would laugh at the idea of Superga, Vans and Converse being mumsy as they live in them. Superga in summer, the other 2 the rest of the year.
I used to wear them , I like a white canvas shoes in summer but they're very heavy to wear and, tbh, pretty uncomfortable until you've worn them in.

I definitely don’t see vans as mumsy, every sixteen-year-old round here seems to live in them!

Converse seem like a more all-rounder, lots of mums and middle-aged women in them but also teens. I don’t know if they’re any good for wide feet though?

I have wide feet and wear Superga. I believe Converse are quite narrow.
