Casual trainers

Can you please recommend your comfiest casual trainers - or casual shoes/boots that are super comfortable and weather appropriate and can be worn with everything?

Budget of around £100 although I'd prefer to spend less if possible!

I got Ecco soft 7 leather sneakers and they are EXTREMELY comfy, cute, and exactly what I was looking for to elevate my casual everyday look. I even bought them in more colors (but accidentally but wide size). I will be sticking with this brand for a long time.

What size are you? Could you fit into kids sizes?

I like Stan Smiths (Adidas). They go with jeans, dresses, skirts etc

alloutofcareunits · 28/10/2022 11:22

Adidas ozweego, like walking on pillows! Good arch support to and hard wearing, mine have been in the washing machine and came out fine! DD has several pairs so presumably they're still 'cool' if that matters

alloutofcareunits · 28/10/2022 11:22

Too 🤦🏻‍♀️

I have New Balance black trainers. So so comfy and go with most things, I like the black for winter. Also just ordered a pair of flatform adidas superstars. I wanted navy stripes but bought from Vinted so got black but hoping they'll be fairly versatile.

PinkyU · 28/10/2022 11:24

I really like mint velvet trainers but they where far too out of budget for me, I went with very similar M&S ones and find them comfortable and go with just about all of my (limited) wardrobe.

@GonnaGetGoingReturns I am size 6

I did have some superstars and they are very comfy but the tongue on them is quite chunky

Oh I've just looked at the new balance too and they're lovely
I'm never quite sure if I could pull off the quirky coloured ones but I like them

They look super comfy but I'm not cool enough for them!

@girlmom21 I'm sure you are, I'm 55 and work with teenagers, none of them have laughed and would definitely tell me if they looked crap on me! 😂

I always struggle with trainers being comfy on the back of my heel and the Victoria Berlin trainers are so comfy! Usually cheaper on Amazon for about £60

Oh are they comfy? Would it be inappropriate to buy the sparkly ones? Grin www.schuh.co.uk/womens/victoria-berlin-glitter-lilac-trainers/1902013720/

Ahh amazing! Thanks!
I love them but they're the kind that I don't know if I could pull off Grin

@Haus1234 @Workawayxx do you size up with new balance? I've seen a few reviews saying to size up by half

OP posts:
Workawayxx · 31/10/2022 12:56

I did size up for my new balance @girlmom21 , I got a 6.5 and I'm normally a 6. I also have a pair of new balance for running and got those in a 7. The 6.5 are really roomy and comfy and just the right size. I could actually run in them perfectly well.

Thank you! I keep getting adverts for new balance now and I love them more every time I see them so I'm going to bite the bullet Grin

I live in my new balance 327 - I have these ones. They are super comfy. I am a 7.5 and I got an 8.

SealSquish · 31/10/2022 13:03

my other most worn trainers are my Adidas Ozweegos, Nike AF1s (too many pairs!) and Nike court vision low (like slippers).

These are fire! Just got them in moonbeam with outerspace colourway. Glad to know they're super comfy!

Do you find them easy to keep clean?
