For easy, laidback wear with jeans, skirts etc. Will they work or are they too smart for me?

I have no idea what you are like but they look smart and a good price.
Go for it.

I love Russell and Bromley, most of my shoes are from there but I think these are hideous, sorry.

They look exactly like the shoes the physio's and nurses wore in the 1980's.

Ohhhhh no not keen at all / sorry OP

WhoEatsPopTarts · 20/08/2020 19:44

They look like Asda trainers

I think they look like orthopaedic shoes, sorry.
I am afraid I do not like white footwear, unless on a bride.

Thanks all, I got a bit too excited. I agree and I'll send them back.

These look a bit less formal and are the same sort of price

You could get almost the same thing for a lot less from Hotter.

Eminybob · 20/08/2020 20:37

God no op. Just because something is on sale from an expensive brand, it doesn’t mean it’s nice.
There are soooo many gorgeous white trainers around at them moment for around that price.

Another R&B fan but those are awful. Get some normal white
Leather trainers

Hyperfish101 · 20/08/2020 23:22

Get Stan Smiths. Classic white trainer. Or if you want smarter, get Clark’s. M and S do a decent White trainer too.

binkydinky · 21/08/2020 00:05

They are a bit Florida gran on paired with her denim 2 piece.

I love R&B but generally think with trainers stick to trainer brands.

I was about to say they look exactly like Gravity from Hotter. Although they’re actually more expensive.

Thanks for the suggestions. I like the Adidas sleek.
