Which classic white trainers for a 40 year old?

[Moo7878]

Exactly that. Need some help please! Want to be able to wear them with jeans, dresses etc.

I like converse but I'm a little out of touch I'm the first to admit! Thanks

Reebok Classics in plain white, or they do a style with textured white details too.

Well I've just ordered the Nike Air Force 1s White with red tick.
The red is a dark red so should go with most of my clothes.

The teens I see seem to wear Fila or Vans or just a selection of sporty trainers (I live near a large leisure centre).
I did see one young girl wearing the Air Force 1s with a pale blue tick & cropped jeans recently, they looked nice & I would've liked blue but I couldn't find them online so I decided on dark red.

I also have a pair of Adidas Superstars in White with gold stripes.

my air force ones are black with vintage floral bit on
v cute but so stiff and uncomfortable that i realise now why they were in the sale

yeah the young'uns are wearing really chunky ones like the fila ones

fascinated i haven't tried the sleek ones so can't advise but they're v nice.

I've just ordered some of these (in ecru though not bright white) - they look nice, in the same vein as superga and converse but a bit chunkier.

I'm nearly 40.. are the m&s trainers comfy to wear? I need to replace my old cheapie ones and while I wait for my adidas or similar to come through I need a basic white pair for those non brand days

I have a couple of pairs of Stan Smith's and find them so comfy (and surprisingly warm in the cooler months) that I wouldn't buy anything else now.

But the M&S and the River Island ones are super popular at the cheaper end so would definitely try them otherwise.

Lady i love a gum sole!
I found Superga too heavy. Did anyone else think that? I am v fussy about comfort.

I think leather is the way forward, hence Stan Smiths being comfortable in all weathers.

My 19 year old ds has a pair of all white Air Force ones. I told him when he bought them that he was gonna look like all the other mums on the school run 😁

If you’re not fussy about branding, look at Mint Velvet. I’ve got some white trainers from there.

Our house is full of Air Force 1s, worn by me and my 13 year old son. I have a red pair with gold trimmings and a very pale pink colour. I fancy a white pair for the summer.

I have a pair of white Superga's & I'm 39

I know they're not strictly 'trainers' but you mentioned converse & in my opinion these are similar style but so much more comfortable.

I also put mine through the wash fairly regularly & they are still in great condition. This summer will be their 3rd year.

You put shoes in your washing machine? Every days a school day for me!

Ecco

Love converse once they are broken in, but the pain and shredded feet to get to that stage. Never again.

I much prefer Adidas for comfort straight out the box. Loving my cream suede Sambas.

I'm 43 and wear Stan Smiths. I also occasionally wear a pair of Vejas esplair. Converse I just can't do as they pinch my toes, I don't find the Veja ones all that comfy either and usually come back to the Stan Smiths.

Nike internationalist are my favorites.

Reebok classics or Puma Carina

Tiger I put them on a 30 minute (40 degrees) cycle.

I put them in a slightly padded mesh bag & then they go in the airing cupboard over night.

They come out looking great

Check out this item from M&S…www.marksandspencer.com/leather-trainers/p/clp60275133 I'm thinking of buying these.....any thoughts?

Adidas continental 80s. Last ages and very comfy!

I’m 43 and wear the white converse plus I have a lovely pair of pink suede nike airforce 1’s. They’re soo comfy I’m thinking of getting the cream colour too. I also wear Grey Nike 270’s a lot.

I like Veja

Dunlop green flash (if you like green too of course, more of a pub shoe)
