Black leather trainers to wear with opaques

72 replies

Looking for black leather trainers, to wear with trousers but also ideally to wear with opaque tights and dresses/skirts.

Any ideas please, oh wise women of MN?

Thanks all. Definitely want trainers, rather than shoes. Especially like the Nike ones.

Can anyone see the screenshot I tried to post? I can't 😄.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 29/09/2019 19:31

Sorry, Wannabe. Don't like those.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 29/09/2019 19:31

And I want leather.

I bought black leather supergas for this - pretty helpful as they look ok with skirts and are a bit less 'street' if you need them to not look so conspicuous with work clothes/dresses

Sorry Remus but I have no suggestions. I am shamefacedly place marking. I’m also looking for black trainers. I like the Nike ones but I think I’d prefer something/design/logo on them to break up the black a bit.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 29/09/2019 20:37

Supergas are too wide for me, unfortunately.

I'm wondering about going totally old-skool with some Gola ones!

It you're not fussed about labels, there are some very nice black leather trainers in M&S Autograph range at the moment.

AnotherEmma · 29/09/2019 20:53

Black leather Vejas eg these or these.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 29/09/2019 20:54

Not at all fussed about labels, but can't see anything on the M&S website.

I'm looking for the same thing. I've had black leather Vans slip ons the last two years but can't find similar this year without getting them through the customs thing (more expensive, seems to take ages for delivery)

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 29/09/2019 21:17

Wondering about black Stan Smiths. I like the non-strappy Vejas but too £££.

The reebok black leather ones are really nice and super comfy too.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 29/09/2019 21:57

I have black leather Stan Smiths - I tend to buy a new pair at the end of each summer, then wear them to death. I work in a creative-ish job, so don’t have to dress formal,y for work, as long as I am not scruffy. (A typical outfit for me at this time of year is black leather mini-ish skirt, black polo neck, black Stan Smiths.)

I also have black Continental 80s, and Vejas, both of which look good with tights, but the SS are my favourites. My feet are small (4) so I get from the children’s department.

I love Nike Cortez but they're a very different shape to Stan Smiths

It's these - saw the white version in store today and they were lovely.

AnotherEmma · 29/09/2019 22:55

Black leather Converse? these??

AnotherEmma · 29/09/2019 22:58

What's your shoe size?
These start at size 7 (they're men's but I'd wear them)
