Please can someone find me a pair of trainers before I lose my mind?!

As the title says. I've spent the entire week searching online for the perfect trainers but I can't find anything. I'd really like to go to an actual shop and try some on, but sports shops where I live seem to offer about 8 pairs of women's trainers (rows and rows for men of course).

What I require:
Needs to be comfortable for walking around all day (going to Devon next weekend) and work with jeans, leggings, etc.
Reasonably stylish (not walking boot style)
Won't let water in at the first sight of rain (looking at you New Balance trainers)
Ideally no more than £75

Please help!

I've worn New Balance running shoes for years and wouldn't buy anything else. 75 quid should get you a good pair.

Joining you in searching for that holy grail OP!

So hard to find nice looking trainers that have thicker soles than eg Converse but don't look too bulky/teenage/sporty.

I have wide-ish feet, and a lot of trainers are narrow. Love Adidas Superstars but find them a bit too too narrow these days :(

John Lewis and Clarks are worth a look if you haven't already.
