White ‘everything’ trainers

30 replies

Redmum22 · 27/06/2022 13:20

I’m looking for white trainers that can do everything - be worn with jeans or dresses, to the shops, all day - and look a little stylish too.
I like the look of the Veja V-10s (gold) but I hear they’re quite hard to break in. Does anyone know if D.A.T.E. trainers are easier to break in? Do I give in and buy some air and graces? I hear they’re more comfortable but can’t say I love any of the styles.
I should mention that I can’t pull off high tops and am willing to spend up to £200. I’d like plain white leather/vegan leather but with a little pop of something - metallic, leopard etc.
Any ideas?

Hi op, I don't have the answer. Just to say I'd never heard of Air and Grace and now I absolutely want a pair 😂

How about these? From Ted baker currently on sale.
or some Common Projects? (They cost a lot more than the Ted baker ones though)

Adidas Superstars( I'm almost evangelical about mine!)

My3cents1 · 27/06/2022 15:43

Common Projects.

Rina66 · 27/06/2022 16:27

I wear the Fitflop rally as they're totally plain white leather but I really like the Russell & Bromley Hourglass, will be getting those next. I used to love Mint Velvet trainers but they've changed them, hopefully they'll revert!

Seconding Adidas Superstars, I love mine.
Also Elle Sport are super comfy, but size down as they come up on the big side.

Have ordered adidas superstars on the back of this thread - right up my street and got them for half price !

I tried Air and Grace in January after a thread on here - I was totally underwhelmed and sent them back .

Hope you have success OP

@Shinyandnew2022
That's a real bargain
Hope you're pleased with them

Adidas Sleek are my jam, I’ve got three pairs in different colours. I need to size up a half size.

Gherkingreen · 28/06/2022 14:10

I have some plain white leather trainers with a little snakeskin patch at the ankle from John Lewis, bought in sale about two years ago. They've been absolutely brilliant, go with jeans, jumpsuits, dresses, wide leg trousers, the lot. I
I'm going to look for a similar pair as they're my go to from March-October.

LifeInAHamsterWheel · 28/06/2022 14:22

Apparently the 'Victoria' brand look very like the Vejas but are much more comfortable.

these ones for example

Fashiontatts · 28/06/2022 14:35

I love adidas Stan smiths, and the adidas sleeks... 2 pairs of each and wear them constantly!

jaffacakes16 · 28/06/2022 14:41

Following this as I’m in search of the same. Found Veja’s really uncomfortable around the toe not sure if they would ever break in there.

stillvicarinatutu · 28/06/2022 14:53

Watching as want same !

FridayNightWines · 28/06/2022 15:48

I haven't tried this brand but they've popped up on Facebook ads a few times and I've always thought they looked good. I do really like my Veja's but it took a long time for them to get comfy and to be honest I'd pick my golas or new balance over them.

White & gold Stan Smiths are only £32.50 at the moment if you're size 5.5 or less.

Are the new non leather Stan Smiths still comfortable?

Dogsandbabies · 28/06/2022 18:00

Adidas superstars. The comfiest shoes I ever owned, and did EVERYTHING.

Redmum22 · 01/07/2022 21:25

Thank you for all your suggestions! I really like the look of the Sayes.
Is vegan leather harder to break in because it doesn’t soften like leather would?
On a whim I bought some Reebok Club Cs, I’ll report back!

Superga or novesta are good
