The only brand of trainers that don’t hurt my dodgy foot are Reeboks. If I order the white pair this will be my 5th pair. I clean them but after 6 months - a year they look wrecked so I replace them. I’ve just spotted the leopard print ones which obviously will last longer. Are they grim? I’m nearly 60 and generally wear skinny or more recently, bootcut jeans. The leopard print would be a radical move [shocked] .

Love the leopard! I want new trainers this summer. I was going to get white but you may have influenced me to go leopard.

What's sizing like on Reeboks? I have wide, large size 8.

Dogwithanovenmit · 18/04/2020 15:37

It’s hard to say re sizing but I think they would be good for wide feet as the toe box is generous. I always need to go up a size in general with trainers so although I’m a 4 I always get the 5. I think my big toe is very long or weird though. If you are a good size 8 I’d maybe go for 8.5 or 9.

Of the two I'd go for the leopard print

I normally hate leopard print but I actually like those ones. It’s subtle.

SavoyCabbage · 18/04/2020 15:43

I like the leopard ones better.

theseriousmoonlight · 18/04/2020 15:44

Thanks @Dogwithanovenmit, I'll give them a go!

Shannith · 18/04/2020 15:46

Leopard without a doubt. Very nice.

latheritup · 18/04/2020 15:46

Leopard!

Cocolapew · 18/04/2020 15:47

Leopard print definitely.

Dogwithanovenmit · 18/04/2020 15:49

Thank you. I’ve ordered the leopard. After 5 pairs of identical white ones it will be nice to have a change. I have no idea what it is about Reeboks but they are literally the only things I can wear without foot or ankle pain. My ankle/foot MRI has been cancelled so for the time being theres no end in sight for the Reebok purchases.

Leopard for sure

imausernamenotanumber · 18/04/2020 16:04

Always leopard.

Fairyliz · 18/04/2020 16:18

Another vote for leopard, although it’s a bit late Grin. I’m not usually a leopard fan but those are quite subtle. Can you post a photo when they arrive

MurrayTheMonk · 18/04/2020 16:22

I love the leopard! Get some trainer whitener for your old white ones, keep them in reserve, and get the animal print!
Hell I might get them I like them so much!

Ernieshere · 18/04/2020 16:24

Leopard.

Dogwithanovenmit · 18/04/2020 16:37

Fairyliz yes I’ll post a pic when I get them 👍🏻. Murray I clean my white ones for as long as they come up ok but after a while they look scruffy no matter what I do. At that point I usually invest in an identical pair! I’m very bored so I hope these leopard ones will be ok. I’ve only got the leather ones not suede before so I hope they’re as comfy.

Celeriacacaca · 18/04/2020 17:51

Definitely leopard. They look gorgeous!

TenThousandSpoons · 18/04/2020 17:54

Get both! The new white ones will stay white longer because you won’t be wearing them as often. Love the leopard but think for some outfits you’d miss the white ones.

SavageBeauty73 · 18/04/2020 19:25

I love leopard 👍

BaroleCaskin · 18/04/2020 19:28

Go for the leopard!

Burntmybiscuits · 18/04/2020 19:29

Leopard!

NW2SW · 18/04/2020 19:30

I quite like the leopard but are they flatforms? The sole looks really out of proportion
