What trainers are 'in' at the moment? Need nice but comfortable trainers for city break

I've been living in my Vejas for most of the year, but unfotunately they have been really hurting my feet so I need to find a replacement for them. I want something simple, comfortable and 'smart' enough for a city break/wearing to the office (we're a casual office).

Does anyone have any recommendations? My style is quite classic (read: boring lol), and I'm in my 20s.

So I’ve got these today and ordered the 327s in leopard black. Which do we like?

The thing I don’t like about Nike Internationalist is that mine are mostly fabric and also the soles are lethal on wet pavements. Otherwise I like the design.

I can spend all day in my AF1s and I’ve got plantar fasciitis but if I was walking a lot I’d wear my Juva trainers but they’re for back issues/foot issues.

I’m considering the old style NBs like 608 or 840 etc though.

They’re horrific aren’t they I’m tempted to bin mine in both black and white I can never pack them to travel with in case in rains and I live in the north east!! Someone I know wrecked their knee slipping in them

Some great ideas above.
I found a really good ( albeit a bit pricey) brand called Uniform Standard.
classic looks, super comfy.
oppss … I have 3 pairs !

I don't think they're in fashion but my feet love air max 95s

I wear Hokas for running and walking, and they are truly hideous but unbelievably comfy. Apparently the fashion set are now adopting them which I find hard to believe, but they may be the 'next big thing' and if they are, your feet are going to be incredibly happy....

Hokas are notoriously odd-fitting. Some runners love them and others hate them. They come up extremely narrow (hence why they do a wide fit version) and tend to split very easily on the upper, where the mesh hits the sole.
Would be truly bizarre if they crossed over into fashion wear, but then On have - so who knows?!

Or you could post a thread on a very popular, female-centric website asking like-minded people to share what they are wearing

What makes you think we have like minded taste in trainers?
Strange assumption.

OP has asked for advice on trainers are 'in' at the moment. Trainers can be a fashion item (as opposed to just being practical) if you're into that sort of thing, so presumably the thread title would draw people who are, you know... Into that sort of thing 😁

Anyone with Nike AF1s that can say if they work well for wide feet?

WonderWoop · 08/12/2022 21:35

Same question for vejas actually!

misssunshinenow · 09/12/2022 05:44

I have wide feet and AF1 were perfect, but not Veja. And I tried several different models..

They’re in stock in lots of sizes like Footlocker etc as I got a pair in 4.5 the other day.
