I need some new trainers and don't know what to buy

I have some white superstars and black new balance which are on their last legs, and am struggling to find anything I like- many because the choice online is a bit overwhelming!

I'm 46 and drawn to styles with a vintage look...but not sure I actually want to be going round in gazelles or sambas, much as I loved them before! I'd be wearing them with jeans.

Any advice? I don't want vejas btw.

Nike court vision low?

Google them they are quite nice and fit what you are looking for I think

GiltEdges · 10/09/2022 07:18

They’re a bit pricey, but I’m a big fan of some Axel Arigato trainers DH bought me for my last birthday. They have lots of styles, but the ones I have are quite similar to this:

Nike Blazer low fit your vintage requirements. Some are very vintage some have a modern twist.

jinglejanglemorning · 10/09/2022 09:18

Thanks, all! I do like those Axel Arigato ones but they're a bit (a lot...) over budget, sadly. I thought I was over white trainers but I like the Nike blazer ones. I quite like the high tops too...hmm...

Has anyone bought any Hof trainers? They keep popping up as adverts but had never heard of them before.

I always wear Sketchers. Just offering it as an idea.

ReviewingTheSituation · 10/09/2022 09:27

Why not just stick with Superstars? If it ain't broke...

Rainbowshit · 11/09/2022 11:22

Everyone seems to be wearing new balance 327s round here.

QuentininQuarantino · 11/09/2022 17:41

I just bought the Hoff avant garde trainers and love them so much. Even the soles are pretty and they’re very spongy and comfortable. I also have Adidas sleek in black and Nike blazer hi tops. I think colourful trainers are next in for AW. Saw some beautiful Nike blazers in orange and brown but sold out in my size.

I have a pair of Veja’s

Bloody love them

adhdpunchbag · 11/09/2022 17:56

Walsh?

familyissues12345 · 11/09/2022 22:45

I like Stan smiths personally, they fit my wide feet perfectly!

Greycatclub · 11/09/2022 22:51

I have Hoff and I LOVE them. Get lots of compliments too.

MintyChipton · 11/09/2022 22:55

I love my gazelles and have loads of colours however I have just bought two pairs of New Balance 327s and they are so comfortable.

Apandemicyousay · 11/09/2022 22:58

I have some white Nike AF1s. Same age as you, and I get complimented on them by random youth, which always makes me smile :)

PedestalFan · 12/09/2022 00:18

I'm a big fan of the New Balance 530. Not so expensive and very comfortable to wear.

jeaux90 · 12/09/2022 06:47

I bought some gold Gola Bostons which I get a lot of comments on.

ChutneyVirgin · 12/09/2022 06:48

New balance 327. Lovely rubbery bit on the back heel

rookiemere · 12/09/2022 06:52

Just bought these www.schuh.co.uk/womens/nike-venture-runner-pale-pink-trainers/1955963350/ . They go with everything and are very comfortable.

Jobsagoodun1 · 12/09/2022 08:00

Ecco leather trainers- very comfortable and come in different colours. You won’t find many other people wearing them either!

Mosso · 12/09/2022 08:45

I need some that are v comfy. How are the 327s size wise?

uncomfortablydumb53 · 12/09/2022 12:06

I love my Adidas Superstars So comfortable and look neat
If it ain't broke don't fix it!

Accurate. I have slim feet

cranberrymilkshake · 12/09/2022 19:23

Hoff are really good! Comfortable a look cool 😎

Adidas Forum Low or Mid - and if you're a size 5.5 or smaller you can get them at kids' prices. I've just bought a pair for £45 instead of £85 (adult price).

I was told they are a little small. I'm a 5 and the 5.5 fit perfectly.
