Lots of people on here recommend Adidas Stan Smiths or 80s Continentals. You could also look at Air & Grace or Veja.

Size 7 is perfectly normal!!

FelicityFlutterby · 29/09/2019 22:53

I have size 7 feet and have Superdry white trainers. I don't think they make my feet look bigger or anything. What shoes do you normally wear?

raisinseverywhere · 29/09/2019 22:55

I am size 7 and wear Nike Internationalist in a size 6.5. They don’t make my feet look big.

I love my Vejas. I have the white leather ones with burgundy Vs. They're lovely!

I have size 8 feet, I just got some puma calis. They're quite chunky but not ridiculous and I really love them, they go with everything.

I'm a size nine and the first time I bought white trainers I felt my feet looked like boats. They do no such thing of course and now I have about 6 pairs! Stan Smiths are a great entry level way to go, not too pricey and super comfortable.

northernstars · 29/09/2019 23:13

I'm a size nine too. My feet are looking shorter the fatter my legs are getting! But seriously people won't think that at all.

hilaryguineapig · 29/09/2019 23:16

I wear flats usually but fancy a change..

I have converse and they absofecking do make my feet look massive.

I know what you mean about converse and I'm size 5/6! Does anyone find stan Smith's not comfy? I tried some on and they just didn't feel great.

runningtogetskinny · 29/09/2019 23:22

I have Nike Air Force 1s, very comfy and vetoed by my trendy 22 yo DD

ImTheCaddy · 29/09/2019 23:26

Nike Air Force ones are very chunky, which is fine but they aren't going to make your feet look any more dainty!

DD has just gone for some Nike air max 90 which look good.

hilaryguineapig · 29/09/2019 23:26

Thanks I'll have a try on, great places to start, I like them all.

I have size 7 feet. I've been looking for the Holy Grail of chunky white trainers for ages and eventually found a pair on ASOS. They are canvas, wide fit but not too wide and has a chunky sole. So, the right amount of 'chunk' for my feet. They are Converse-like but with a more chunky sole.

Ironfloor269 · 30/09/2019 07:10

I've also seen Puma Cali and Carina being recommended on style pages.

I have size 7s too and wear Air &Grace and no one has ever commented. I have some Grenson boots that make me look like Coco the fucking. Loan thought 🙄

Bloomburger · 30/09/2019 07:29

Clown though 😂

FelicityFlutterby · 30/09/2019 07:34

Oh no, what a shame about Grensons! I used to have cowboy boots and two people at work actually commented that they made my feet look massive Hmm. I wore them anyway though - ha! Till they fell to pieces.

I've found high tops make my feet look bigger if I tie them. So I just tuck the laces in instead. Can't wear mine for long though, as they're too flat.

NameChangeNugget · 30/09/2019 07:37

I agree with @Daffodil2018

Adidas Stan Smith’s look fabulous on bigger feet

minesagin37 · 30/09/2019 07:49

Depends what you want to pay doesn't it? There's a lovely pair in Paul Smith £185.00.

TheDragonFromDreams · 30/09/2019 07:58

80s Adidas Continentals in triple white are it!

Feel like slippers, don’t make my feet look big - size 8.

lioness88 · 30/09/2019 08:02

Highly recommend Axel Arigato

OkayGo · 30/09/2019 08:20

I have size 7 feet and just took the plunge in buying some Air Force 1s - they sort of balance me out (I’m a bit chunky in the middle but skinny ankles and wrists).

LionelRitchieStoleMyNotebook · 30/09/2019 08:24

I'm a size 7 and also think my feet look huge in white trainers but I do have skinny chicken legs which I don't think helps. I've compromised with superga 2211 they're almost ballet flat shape, so much lower at the front which stops them looking huge

Any white trainers recommendations please?
Cluelessbeetroot · 30/09/2019 10:39

Superga are nice and sort of dainty
Lacoste Ziane Chunky are also nice, these ones to be precise www.next.co.uk/style/st387254#619006 and ohhhh so comfy
I personally find Stan Smiths quite bulky and I'm size 5
