Trainers. Not allowed Vans so....Stan Smiths? All Stars? Or something else?

[TomatoSoupWithCheeseOnTop]

I need to replace my very knackered black canvas Vans. I fancy something a bit chunkier. Maybe suede.

But I am bit overwhelmed with the choice! I would have probably gone for some Old Skool Vans - but DD (age 13) got some for Christmas. And despite me eyeing them up covetously I really, really cannot do the same trainers as my daughter as she would disown me actually she is a total sweetheart but I wouldn't want to take the shine off her new, much coveted shoes

So have had a look at Stan Smiths - they look OK. Tried on some All Stars - v comfortable but DD says All Stars are what all the Yr6 girls where so I may feel a bit too "down with the kids" in them.

Part of me doesn't care what "brand" I get (I am 48 and too old for that shit) . But also another part of me doesn't want to be the one in the pub wearing crap trainers.

Any suggestions gratefully received. Price-wise I could go c£80, maybe a touch more.

Veja or Saucony

Nike Cortez. Honestly the best trainer I have ever owned.

So your daughter has copied two styles of trainers that you like??

No @StCharlotte, I am compiling her. Had not considered what I liked until a week or so ago when I accepted I needed to replace the Vans. Though I may have thought a bit about the Vans Old Skool but not mentioned it at all to DD

I have Veja trainers and also Po-Zu po-zu.com/collections/womens
Their butterfly shoes are a bit like Converse
Ignore the silly Star Wars ones

I just bought these

They haven't arrived yet but I was sucked in by the amazing price.

I’ve just bought some adidas gazelles.
