Where can I get black leather trainers?

OublietteBravo · 14/09/2019 12:23

I really want a pair of smart black trainers for work, but I’m struggling to find any.

I have these navy trainers, and I love them:

I want to find something similar in black. Budget: no more than £100.

Anyone got any suggestions?

these are very similar

OublietteBravo · 14/09/2019 12:31

Sadly my size (6/39) seems to be sold out.

I've been looking too and keep ending up seeing the same leather trainer style shoe shoes my 15yo DS has! I think I might opt for the navy ones from White Stuff (sorry can never do links on here)

sleepismysuperpower1 · 14/09/2019 12:35

this shop here doesn't have them on sale, but they have the same shoes in your size x

OublietteBravo · 14/09/2019 13:15

I’ve just come across these (currently 20% off):

www.hobbs.co.uk/product/display?productID=0219-LE18-001H010&productvarid=0219-LE18-001H010-BLACK-LEOPARD-37&refpage=search/results

What do you think?

I wouldn't be brave enough to pull off the leopord print, but if you feel confident go for it OP!

Sooverthemill · 14/09/2019 13:24

@OublietteBravo I love those Hobbs ones! And the leopard isn't very in your face . Hobbs shoes are good quality.

sleepismysuperpower1 · 14/09/2019 13:30

(sorry OP i didn't mean to sound negative, i really like the shoes just don't think i could pull them off!)

Mine are by Lacoste. Black leather, white sole. I got them from JD Williams.

I love them. I’ve got full leopard print suede trainers and they are so versatile, it’s a modern neutral and pretty much goes with everything.

It’s not difficult to pull off a teeny tiny pinch of leopard print like that. You just wear them, like you would wear any other smart trainer.

Pinkarsedfly · 14/09/2019 17:51

I’ve got black Stan Smiths with a tiny bit of leopard trim.

Pinkarsedfly · 14/09/2019 17:52

Pretty much identical to those Hobbs ones, actually.

Ninkaninus · 14/09/2019 17:54

I really want them now, and I’ve got no budget for them this month! Sad Sad

princessbear80 · 14/09/2019 17:56

If you do go for the Ugg Milo ones, size up. They come up small.

OublietteBravo · 14/09/2019 18:27

I’ve ordered the Hobbs ones. Shall I report back when they arrive?

OP posts:
Ninkaninus · 14/09/2019 18:40

Yes please! I really need a good pair of smart black trainers for A/W.

tumpymummy · 14/09/2019 19:01

Yes please report back! Those Hobbs ones look great!

Ninkaninus · 14/09/2019 19:02

I need to get selling on eBay to build up an A/W fund!

TantricTwist · 14/09/2019 21:22

Try Skechers Street. I have some black ones with a bit of gold that I love after seeing them on someone else.

TantricTwist · 14/09/2019 21:24

these are mine

mejon · 14/09/2019 21:57

www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/rally-leather-sneakers-p-R29#001 - these from Fitflop? I've got a similar pair but the sole is slightly different and they are very comfortable.

OublietteBravo · 19/09/2019 18:26

Update: the shoes from Hobbs have arrived and I’m going to keep them. The leopard print panel by the heel is actually quite subtle IRL. They feel a little bit snug, but I expect the leather will relax with wear.
