Looking for some new black trainers.

Would you be more inclined to go for Veja or New Balance?

Or maybe another suggestion ?

Thanks

I bought the 327s NB. Wore them round the house. They are so uncomfortable so I returned them. It is like walking on wooden blocks.

There's another NB style that look comfortable but not as trendy but tbh it put me off. I will stick to my Nike reacts they are heaven. I will be ordering the Nike 270s too.

I usually wear gazelles but I bought a couple of pairs of the New Balance 327, and love them they are really light and comfortable, I also had a few pairs of NB 574 which I love.

Both!

Thank you. Shame- they look great.

Have a look at gola and HUF trainers as well if you like new balance.

Also depending on budgets GGD, golden goose trainers last for years!

TooManyMoronsHere · 28/09/2022 08:23

Vayjayjay's look like budget brand trainers in my opinion, not sure what the fuss is over them.

I wear NB 574s. Incredibly comfy. In fact I’ve left the house in slippers twice as my slippers feel just like my NBs!

I tried a different NB style once (3 something) and it felt totally different, much narrower so just to warn you the number makes a big difference.

Tried Vejas on once and took them straight off. Like wearing bricks.

I don’t think either are fashionable really but I don’t care, I just want comfy feet.

Also as I am size 38 I can buy child NB and they are really cheap.

Vejas kill my feet

Golden Goose trainers are ridiculously expensive.

Golden Goose trainers are ridiculously expensive.

And my GG tongue is annoyingly sharp and stiff. My order arrived just as I was going on holiday by the time I got back and sorted through stuff it was too late to return. They look nice but very expensive and the tongue issue ☹️. Out of NB and Veja, defo NB. Veja are very middle class generic to the point of uncool

Agreed Golden Goose are the king of trainers! I adore mine and they do last really well but I don’t really like them in black.
