What trainers are you wearing?

I'm a bit tired of my white converse, I've been wearing them for about 10 years and just replacing when they get worn out.

Which casual trainers are you wearing for day to day normality?

I just got some New Balance and they are so comfy.
Had Veja last year which were less comfy and quite hard.

Alfiemoon1 · 13/03/2021 17:06

Adidas superstar and Nike Air Force 1

AxCap · 13/03/2021 17:10

Adidas gazelles (purple, black or grey) or a pair of adidas slip on trainers that are a bit chunkier but really comfy.

Saucony for running and Nike metcons for the gym.

I lusted after vejas for so long, finally bought some and they are SO uncomfortable. They look great on but I can't wear them anywhere I expect to do moderate amounts of walking. I might sell them.

Are Stan Smith's comfy?

I mostly wear some really old Adidas gazelles that are super comfy but tbh a bit tatty.

TallulahBetty · 13/03/2021 17:18

Black/rose gold sketchers. Comfy enough to walk to work, then stylish enough to keep on when I'm there

MagicMatilda · 13/03/2021 17:21

Air and Grace or a beaten up pair of Stan Smiths.

Africa2go · 13/03/2021 17:24

I have Vejas, @Namechangegame123 they took some breaking in / getting used to but I walk for miles in them.

If I want to replace Vejas, what should I try?

Soontobe60 · 13/03/2021 17:25

Black New Balance with gold detailing at the moment. White Adidas in summer. My DDs would disown me if I bought Sketchers 🤣

DonGray · 13/03/2021 17:26

Usually I wear some Nike Air randoms - currently converted to Stan Smiths as they keep my feet dry in rain

mynameiscalypso · 13/03/2021 17:29

I've just bought some Nike Air Force 1s - not my usual style (I gravitate towards converse too) but am hoping I can pull them off!

Pinkandwrinkly · 13/03/2021 17:34

Nike, cos I'm paid to.

BatonRouge · 13/03/2021 17:38

Today I wore Nike Flyknit Racers triple black as I needed a super lightweight pair as swapped them for roller skates.

I have six pairs of these and also approx. 30 others. Mainly Air Max 95s, AM1s and 97s. Also have a few quirkier pairs such as Sauconys, Asic Gel lites and Nike SBs.

Reading that back makes me look like a sneaker obsessive.

Captainrachy · 13/03/2021 17:39

Nike AF1 ‘07. Love them. I’ve had them two years and they still look new.

Livy178 · 13/03/2021 17:41

I wear Nike Air Force 1, adidas Stan smiths and superstars and Nike mid blazer 77 . I find them all really comfy

Lonelycrab · 13/03/2021 17:43

Nike Airmax 90s or New Balance for general stuff. Merrel for hiking or walks.

Workyticket · 13/03/2021 17:46

I'm hovering over ordering a pair of Vans. I'm 42 - can i pull off leopard print Vans?

Googling to see how they are on wide feet

LadyPeppermint · 13/03/2021 17:47

@MintLampShade

Superga and New Balance. Both Super comfy, especially my NB 720. Like walking on marshmallows ☺️
Absolutely this. I have a few pairs of New Balance mostly for winter and about four pairs of Superga for summer. I live in them all summer and can walk miles in them. I personally find them very comfortable.

However, I've just bought my first pair of Nike air max, so need to work out where they fit into my wardrobe. I hear they are very comfortable.

Purplecatshopaholic · 13/03/2021 17:49

Baby Yoda Mandalorian high tops from Adidas! Love ‘em

novaparty12 · 13/03/2021 17:52

black old skool vans with a flowerly pattern. Bought in the sale for half price. I love them they go with everything!!!!

Thatswhatmamasaid · 13/03/2021 17:53

Veja, Air and Grace and Superga.

CoffeeAndCaramel · 13/03/2021 17:54

Nike Air max 90's
Nike new balance
Old Skool vans
Reebok classics

My faves!

PattyPan · 13/03/2021 17:57

I always wear Vivobarefoot trainers, they are the most comfortable brand I've ever tried. I've had my current pair for 3 or 4 years and they're looking a bit tired so I'm thinking about getting the Geo Racers.

TokyoSushi · 13/03/2021 17:59

I started a thread like this a few weeks ago, and nobody answered! 😭

But thanks to you OP, it's clear to me now that I need Adidas Sleek!

VeraDonovan · 13/03/2021 18:00

These. They are so comfortable

I’ve got loads. My latest are Sorel kinetic - see link. They are v comfortable but you need to have skinny feet to get them on. www.sorelfootwear.co.uk/p/womens-kinetic-sneak-1776271.html?dwvar_1776271_color=009
