White leather trainers

Please can anyone help me find some white leather trainers that don’t come very far up the foot? I have low cut converse but would like some that are a bit more chunky and supportive. Happy to spend up to £200. Thanks in advance for any ideas, I have drawn a blank so far!

Superga do some, I noticed them in the window when I walked past the other day.

Superga, Stan smiths, Veja.

Oh, they are everywhere... best to go and try lots of pairs on if you can.

Thanks very much for your help, but i’m Still drawing a blank!

I have been to superga and they had none, and I can’t see any on the vega website. Stan smiths definitely aren’t what I mean by low cut, so maybe i’m not explaining what I mean properly, i’m looking for chunkier soled trainers that don’t cover much of the top of the foot. These are the ones I already have, but they make my feet ache when walking all day. www.thegothgirlreads.com/converse-ballet-p-1889.html

Almost like a chunky plimsoll style?

Or these mint velvet ones if you don't mind a natural coloured heel.

Are you sure Vejas aren't leather? (or vegan leather?).

otherwise what about Air & Grace? Or Golden Goose? Or Gucci?!

Ninkaninus · 07/09/2019 18:58

Check schuh. There were Fred Perry trainers/plimsolls that were kind of in that vein, a while back.

I don’t that style of shoe is ever going to be really comfortable for long wear, though.

I love my Adidas superstars. Size down.

Air & Grace

Vionic?

AnnaNimmity · 07/09/2019 19:01

white trainers

TheLidoOfThighs · 07/09/2019 20:04

Oh ok, I thought you meant low rather than hi-top but you actually mean a kind of hybrid between trainer and ballet flat! Can’t help you there, I didn’t know they existed!

Veja Esplar - genuine, hard wearing leather that's quite easy to clean (unlike my white leather Supergas) and they are sturdy and supportive.

Veja are not leather. They are vegan "leather". Looks nice but quite hard and uncomfortable before breaking in.

AliciaQuays · 08/09/2019 05:58

I think some are. Some are leather.

CountFosco · 08/09/2019 07:44

The Veja Esplar is leather. Similar to Converse in that they are very flat so probably not supportive enough for the OP and they have a high vamp so not what she's looking for anyway.

The converse ballet style you already have are the only brand I know that do that style but you might get dupes in some shops but I can't see them being any more supportive than the Converse TBH.
