I wear my vans pretty much every day but need some new trainers. What's on trend for a 35 year old on the school run?

@EllaPaella thank you! I’ve had them on since they arrived and I’m now enjoying the extra support - just had to pop out on an errand with my ancient trainers on and could feel the difference.

Do the new balance trainers give good arch support?

Not really - I don't think many do - you'd need an insole for that.

I've got 3 different pairs of NB.

I wear Hoffs and am eyeing up Wushu at the moment.

Only on MN would people say New Balances are "cool" for someone in their 30's. Get yourself some Nikes or Adidas OP.

Save the New Balances for when you're in your 40-50's.

My 20 odd year old colleagues are all wearing them though...

I love the look of Hoff trainers but can't help but think of 'The Hoff' and running in slow motion, which puts off alas.

Only someone with no social media who hasn’t left the house in the past 18 months and doesn’t know anybody under the age of 45 would say nobody in their 30s wears NB 🙈🙈🙈

I saw so many people wearing New Balance this weekend, from early 20's to 80's.

I love NB but sadly they are too narrow for my very wide feet.

melonraspberry · 27/02/2023 17:59

@EllaPaella thats useful I won’t bother to try some then!
I’m now hankering after the Hoff Skyline range as well.

Adidas Samba is the current favourite for the fashionistas.

I was just about to say Sambas, and the next big thing I've seen making a comeback Adidas Gazelles.
