Help me find cool, super comfy, black trainers for everyday wear

I need some super comfy black trainers for everyday walking. Ideally I would feel like I am walking on air! I'd also like them to be vaguely cool rather than scream middle-aged mum! Budget up to £150 for the perfect pair.
Any suggestions?

Air and grace don't do discounts very often. They do a sale occasionally. You should sign up for their newsletter

It's my birthday soon but unfortunately I already asked DH to buy me a new winter coat for my birthday so I probably can't ask for £150 trainers as well Grin

YY to Nike Air Force Ones.

Love black slip on sketcher trainers

Nike air force 1s. Mine are white but they are the comfiest trainers I've ever owned.

What about Norman Foster trainers ? I think they are the only British firm left which still manufactures in the U.K.

Don't get black airforce's they are the school shoe here!

I love my vans they are so comfortable

@AnotherEmma I looked because they emailed me with a fab new style on preorder! Karnataka? They do that now plus £10 off first order if you sign up. I am nothing to do with them btw just a very satisfied customer!

Just bought Adidas black leather Sambarose, only £50 out of Schuh online, and really happy with them.

My word, so many fantastic suggestions, thank you so much! I hope this thread has helped many others in the search for the perfect pair of black trainers!
I am now spoilt for choice!

@Ellapaella and @MonkeysandParrots do you find the Internationalists slippery? I've just received mine and love them...super comfy, look fab.....but so slippery in the rain last night 😔

DianaT1969 · 25/10/2020 10:54

I found Dr Scholl Yoria in TKMaxx and they are the most comfortable trainers I have ever had.

@Uhtredswoman haven’t noticed it tbh, maybe it goes as you wear them in?

Uhtredswoman · 25/10/2020 12:07

@MonkeysandParrots ok - I'll keep my fingers crossed and wear than as much as I can in the dry! 😀

These are probably not in any way cool, but they are like walking on clouds.

@Uhtredswoman I think I’ve worked it out, it’s the little bumpy things on the sole. If you’ve only worn them inside or in the wet outside, maybe they won’t have scuffed yet so won’t get any purchase in the ground. Should be ok once you’ve done some pavement walking in the dry ...
