Trainer recommendations please!

[Babushkashouse]

My style is quite casual, often wear jeans/ dress with tights. Please recommend some nice trainers!
I never have time to shop as I’ve got 2 under 3 at home most of the time. Just looked on ASOS and office and the current trend is big white trainers with chunky soles - not my thing at all!
I’m 35 so nothing too frumpy either. My last couple of pairs have been Nike internationalist / Nike sb but I’m bored of those styles now

I’m in love with these at the moment.
Otherwise have you thought about Adidas superstars? I preferred these to my stan smiths.

adidas continentals?

Have you looked at Woden trainers? Or Air & Grace?

I love my Wodens. Don't have any A&G yet but will be asking for a pair for Christmas.

adidas continentals or sleeks?

Thinkle- the Nikes are quite similar to stuff I’d normally wear but they might be a bit too trendy for me! They look a bit like these ones on Anthropologie- can’t decide if I like them or not!

I wore Adidas superstars all through my late teens, LOVED them- maybe I should just buy a pair of those and pretend I’m 17 again!

I’ve been wearing superstars since I was 17. I’m now 42-embrace it.

Veja’s?

I like Nike free run knit.

these

I’m currently wearing Adidas Stan smiths. Not as comfy as Nike’s but look good with the look you’re describing.

@MrsSpenserGregson thanks, I’d never heard of those. Woden have some lovely shoes! There’s something a bit awkward looking about Air and grace - maybe theyre nicer in real life

Nike internationalists are cool in London, and presumably will spread.

Also Nike Air Max, which are laaavly and comfy.

I ordered some Air and Grace once after seeing a rec here and they were really uncomfortable - too narrow IIRC - and I sent them back. So disappointing.

I have loved my Vejas (tho everyone's wearing them now) and various Nikes. Dune do nice ones, ditto M&S leather ones (unlikely but true).

I don't like Golden Goose trainers - the only point to them seems to be showing off how much you spent on dirty looking trainers. Which to me is a bit like let them eat cake/Marie Antoinette/playing at being peasants in Versailles.

Not sure what trainers to buy next so good thread to be on!

i'm a trainer fanatic & love my golden goose pairs. They aren't all super distressed but yes they are expensive. However they are so comfortable, I can wear them new out of the box for 8 hours & the inner heel really supports my high arches.

Maybe I should have mentioned I don’t want white trainers.
@Supersimkin2 yeah as I said above I’m bored of Nike internationalist now.
@Atalune thanks for that link- found a gorgeous pair of veja’s but they didn’t have my size dammit!

If you like Internationalists then look at New Balance 373 or Nike Cortez have retro styling. Both very comfy.

I would say New Balance or Vans slip ons, comfortable and colourful

Ah that's interesting that Air & Grace are narrow ... there's a shop not to far away from me that sells them so I might go and try some on to avoid a Christmas disappointment!

Seriously, Woden trainers are AMAZING. Bamboo soles too. Really comfy.
