Fashion trainers for a shortie

Do you know what fashion trainers will give me the most height?

Air Force 1's

HundredMilesAnHour · 03/07/2019 20:21

Buffalo - the most height by far although they are very ugly! Example:

I usually like ugly shoes but those Buffalos are shocking. I'd wear them if I was 14 I guess, but I'm nearly 50!!
The Air Force ones are lovely but not very high, I'll feel stumpy in them.

Fila disruptors? Air force 1s do do a platform version. Think it's called sage.

I have these and love them! https://www.office.co.uk/view/product/officecatalog/2,20/3263787139030?gclid=Cj0KCQjwpPHoBRC3ARIsALfx--LB05LiZM0HDakYggnYWFBHBPlHRFuZQAJ00tOYkME5KcGYUVsYicaAm1MEALw_wcB

The Superga 2790s are meant to be good too but size down apparently

Ha yes the Buffalos are extra rancid. I was in Browns East last year and was shocked when I saw they had a shelf of them.

Let's try again....less ugly, still going for height. Superga do a 'flatform':

Or these from Ash (not sure if your shoe size is too small for what's left in stock though...I'm assuming short means small feet?)

Thank you HundredMilesAnHour, from your selection I quite like the superga but the reviews are no good. The others are just too young for me.
What do you think of these?

@AnotherChinHair There's no such thing as trainers being too young for you (well, apart from the Buffalos that I think are hard for anyone over 12 to pull off). I'm 49 and my age has never influenced my footwear choice. Smile

I haven't seen bad reviews for Superga flatforms, where did you see them?

I must admit that I'm not a fan of the Kurt Geiger/Aldo trainers. They're a bit old lady trying - and failing - to be cool. But Aldo is a brand that has never attracted me so I may not be the best judge! If you like them, that's what matters.
