White summer trainers for flat feet

11 replies

Sidesaladofchips · 06/05/2021 09:51

Looking for recommendations for a pair of white summer trainers to wear with dresses, ankle length jeans etc...however I have narrow flat feet and painful plantar fasciitus which usually means an hour or so in things like Converse leave me in pain for days! Last summer I ordered a pair of white leather Superga's which were ridiculously large. I love the look of Superga's, Vejas, Stan Smiths but need something that's comfortable. I normally live in my big honky running trainers which aren't so stylish.

Anyone with similar useless feet ever managed to find a good pair of white slimline summer trainers?

Look at whatever CAMPER have on offer? Find they v comfortable and stylish

I asked a similar question a couple of weeks ago - basically flat sole trainers are not good for feet. Use orthotic insoles and don't wear the trainers for too long.

I had the Mint Velvet Alinas last year - so comfortable and have a little lift to them so make me a little bit taller. When I had my Covid jab, as I was leaving the jabber actually asked me where they were from as she liked them so much and thought they'd look great with dresses!

I've just been told to buy gel insoles for my flat feet by my osteopath as they are giving me knee pain. Don't know if they'll work

Some of the nicer M&S ones have a bit of lift in them. There seems to be two or three sole styles which alternate.

@Rina66 @empties ooh thank you, I'll take a look at the Camper website. Oh loving the look of the Mint Velvet ones!

Yes I've never got round to getting a pair of good insoles, will look into that too thanks. Although with my feet it would have to be the two pronged approach of using insoles in a pair of trainers that aren't too flat to begin with!

I find Adidas Superstars much comfier and more padded than Stan Smiths, might be worth a shot?

I have plantar Facitis and find that sketchers are the most comfortable for me

Get Scholl's plantar fascitis insoles - they really help.

I have PF too and the UGG trainers are the only shoes I can wear without insoles/ other prep etc. They are fantastic and cushioned. I really recommend you try but order a couple of sizes to determine the best fit. I'm usually a 4 but a 5 was best for Uggs.
