Help me choose my black leather Autumn trainers

Summer, I have white Stan Smiths. I really like them. Need some Autumn ones.

  • must be black leather, so a bit of rain doesn't destroy them.
  • must work with dresses/skirts and opaques
  • must preferably elongate leg (very short)
  • on trend but not trying too hard (I am not young)

I could just plump for black leather equivalent (kid's size, small feet):

but the tongue is very high, and I don't think they are enormously flattering on short legs.

Also considering:
Nike Air Force 1 with white as well as black- really like these, and give me some much-needed height. But not sure if too sporty for dresses and skirts.

Nike Air Force 1 all black - not sure if would look like I'd borrowed my kid brother's trainers

Hobbs - nice. Probably safer than other choices. Possibly too flat. Possibly too big (I'm a half size).

Yes, the DMs literally go with everything. Wld look fab with a midi skirt. I particularly like them with a loose midi skirt or my fave is with slightly cropped trousers that sit above ankle.

Btw I got my summer white Stan Smiths yesterday! Funny how I could never wear them in black though!

I have Nike air force for about a year. Everything I can tell about them, they are perfect. It's really easy to clean them as they are leather. The white base gives them an exciting view. I used them with a dress and jeans. The best trainers I've ever had.
