White trainers

Hi
I'm after some decent white trainers that I can wear with jeans/dresses etc to see me through to boot season!
Converse are a definite no (too uncomfortable). I'm tall, slim and 39 so need to be age appropriate.

You can't go wrong with Adidas superstars, they're a design classic and go well with loads of different looks including dresses

Veja v10... I have three pairs and they go with everything. They are far less chunky
than other trainers

Another vote for the Adidas. I live in mine, and they go with everything. I wanted a pair of Vejas but I found them quite uncomfortable, and quite expensive.

Stan smiths

Excellent thanks ladies! I've been looking at veja/Adidas/Nike so I think I need to try some on tomorrow.

I found Veja horribly uncomfortable (same with Converse). My white leather Supergas are a dream!

Baxdream · 02/09/2020 17:25

That's interesting @Oly4 as I find converse uncomfortable too.

Carvela/Kurt Geiger have lots of comfortable and pretty white trainers. I think they are better than sports brands to wear with dresses etc.

Supergra

The only white trainers that I’ve found really comfortable are Nike Internationalist.

LittleRen · 02/09/2020 17:50

I think veja have changed their leather/design as mine are all super comfy with a soft tongue. I had heard really negative things but mine are the comfiest!

I'm old school and wear plain white lace up plimsolls.

The fact that they're less chunky and plainer than trainers means they go better when paired with a dress/skirt.

Love leather Superga

WellIWasInTheNeighbourhoo · 02/09/2020 17:52

Nike Airforce are cute and the little bit of height is flattering. I know the kids wear them but there is nothing intrinsically young about them, they're preppy & simple. Golden goose if you're minted.

Lk bennet believe it or not. They do a few types. Pricey but worth it, they are lovely on and super comfy.

I like the Ugg ones, plains white leather

I got them for about £66 from an outlet shop

MayDayFightsBack · 02/09/2020 18:10

I've just bought some Supergas for the first time and I absolutely love them, they're so comfortable. I also love the fact they are an Italian brand.

Baxdream · 03/09/2020 07:47

This is really helpful, thanks so much. The ugg ones look lovely!
I'm going to head to bluewater and do some trying on!

Lace up plimsolls as has been said go with anything

stealthbanana · 10/09/2020 13:29

Are the leather supergas as flat/unpadded as normal supergas?

Baxdream · 10/09/2020 14:19

It's about an inch thick sole? They're comfortable!
