Comfortable but stylish white trainers

I’m looking for some white trainers to wear with dresses, skirts and jeans this summer. I currently have some New Balance 574 which are so comfortable, but I’d like some white leather trainers that will look better with dresses.

I’ve got funny feet, so need trainers with comfortable soles, and padding at back of ankle. I’ve tried on Nike Airforce Ones and liked the way they looked but they came up too high towards my ankle and were not comfortable. Can anyone suggest anything?

I’m so jealous of those that Superga fit right. I find them too flat and unsupportive but am considering buying fancy insoles for them. I had a lovely white leather pair from Jigsaw but also not great for lots of walking. I do about 3 miles a day and probably need more like a running trainer (grim!). My converse aren’t great either too flat...

Another vote for Stan Smith here. Depending on what size you are, kids go up to a 5.5. They look the EXACT same as the adult ones, but are £30 cheaper.

I have some Adidas superstars which I love.

Not read the full thread so not sure if anyone has already suggested these but I've noticed everyone seems to be wearing Veja's recently, especially white ones with skirts and dresses

I completely adore my air and grace trainers

Pricey but insanely comfy and gorgeous

I second the Nike internationalist . Really comfy and look great with both jeans and dresses

An update. - Thank you for all your suggestions, I’ve tried on a few different styles today and love the Internationalist, so thank you for those who recommended! The only shop I could find that sells them is Schuh, and although very comfortable they were a little big so I’ve now ordered a pair in a half size down from Nike online, hopefully they should be ok.
