What trainers are you all wearing?

I need some new trainers, to wear with jeans and or trousers. I'm not a massive fan of pure white trainers but quite like the nude looking ones, would they go with most things? Or should I get black? I'm thinking stick to neutral colours? Help

Oh sorry I'm no help, but would love some similar advice so commenting to give the thread a nudge for you ( and me) hopefully 😊

I don't like plain white AF1 but found these the other day and ordered them.

www.asos.com/nike/nike-air-force-1-shadow-trainers-in-white-and-marine-blue-mix/prd/200899844?clr=white&colourWayId=200899845&SearchQuery=nike+air+force+1

I've got loads including Internationalists and a new Nike pair recently but I chop and change a lot. I like Gazelles but need a darker pair for mud/rain.

Mine are really more like pumps than trainers. They're the Sketchers Bobs (b cute) range and I'm obsessed with them.

I have them in white and in black. The black pair aren't as cute as the white pair. I think they do them in blush too. Love love love them.

Gonnagetgoing · 08/03/2022 13:11

Oh I have Air Max 90 in white too... I do wear them but maybe they're not me?

I love my Adidas superstars
They look neat with jeans, and I have a pair of beige/ cream ones
I'm 57

Adidas Superstars or Stan Smiths are a good classic, smart, age-less option but they are typically all white.

Veja are a very stylish but simple trainer that have more stone/beige elements to make it less 'white'.

You could go for something like this depending how sporty you wanted to go: www.nike.com/gb/t/waffle-one-shoes-jw04KZ/DC2533-102

I want some black golas, maybe these ones.

I love the Isabel Marant "Beth" trainers. White, but with colored trim (I have the pink trim) and the Isabel Marant "Brownsy" ones (yellow trim).

Fantastique11 · 08/03/2022 13:58

Veja Rio Branco really comfy and nice looking too.

ClemFandangoo · 08/03/2022 14:02

Reebok Club C 1985 Classics are more cream (see pic)

I also wear black leather Vans slip ons, white Stan Smiths and white Converse.

I’d love these Nike Air Max Dawns too if it wasn’t for the very 90s air bubble in the sole.

I know you said not pure white but these have a butter colour sole and are less daz white than say my Stan Smiths

I've just ordered some reebok ad court shoes in grey. If you are a size 4, they're only £26 on the schuh website

I wanted something lighter than black (which are quite wintery for me), but like you don't particularly like bright white trainers. I'm hoping the pale grey will be a good spring/summer option

JDandC · 08/03/2022 14:23

Lots for me to look at, thank you@

@RavenT I have been looking at the new balance 327!

@MaxCrashtappen I actually really like those! I like that they aren't completely flat either!

I have a few pairs of different styles of Vejas and wear those the most. Also love my new balance ones

Lottapianos · 08/03/2022 14:29

'I love my Adidas superstars'

Ditto. They come in different colourways too - I have had white background/ black trim, and now have white background/ orange trim. Dead comfy and look good with anything

nancy75 · 08/03/2022 14:32

I'm wearing a pair of superga today and when I get home they are going in the bin. I've got achilles tendinitis, I think these trainers caused it (haven't worn them for ages, had them on 1 day and my ankles are killing me)

Repetitivebeats · 08/03/2022 14:43

I also love my Adidas Superstars! and grey Nike Daybreaks for a sportier look and more comfortable fit (not that there's anything wrong with the Superstars, but the Daybreaks are more cusioned)

Hi nokaa, good luck with your survey. Asking whether people 'identify as female' is a bit pointless though. Female is something you either are or are not, not something you 'identify into'

Noisyprat · 08/03/2022 14:58

I came on to look at the trainers and I don't mind a survey @nokaa but I'll give yours a miss as I don't identify as anything, I AM A WOMAN. Happy IWD everyone!

Flippy87 · 08/03/2022 15:01

I’m with Noisy and Lotta on this. I don’t identify as, I just AM.

Flippy87 · 08/03/2022 15:02

On the actual thread topic though…
New balance 327
Adidas retropy 5
Vejas
Stan smiths

nearlyspringyay · 08/03/2022 16:44

When my mum started wearing converse and Stan smiths, I stopped. I know that's awful but they are the ubiquitous footwear here. I wear air max, new balance or Nike high tops.
