As the title says - looking to treat myself to a pair of comfy white trainers. Do I need adidas gazelles, veja campos or something else? Top budget £140.

Following!

Also not to hijack but are Superga canvass plimsoles okay still?!

Gola?

I’ve been a Stan Smith fan for some time now, but have just ordered these for a change this spring. https://www.allbirds.co.uk/products/womens-risers

I am deeply uncool though, so they might not pass muster with fashionistas!

Women's Risers - Natural White (Blizzard Sole)

Sharp angles meet sustainable materials in our edgiest shoe ever. Literally. Lace them up and turn heads while treading lighter on the planet.

Don't waste your money on Veja Campo. I've worn mine 5 times in 2 years as they have no support, are really flat and the tongue is way too long!!

I've just got some adidas Nizza and love them, they aren't too chunky and they are really comfortable

After a bit of quality people-watching time yesterday with coffee, it seems trainers like New Balance are very popular atm

@Biscuitlover456 I think a lot of women will be boycotting Nike

Yup, won't be buying Nike.

Don't want anything that looks like trainers I'd wear to the gym either, want something to go with jeans and dresses.

I’ve found Stan Smiths too flat and tongue too long! Hate them.

Heatherbell1978 · 08/04/2023 07:47

I'm a trainer fiend - I have an embarrassing number of pairs. I was eyeing up New Balance 480's the other day. New out. Plain white. I have a few pairs of NB and they're all very comfy.

Imnoonesfool · 08/04/2023 07:47

I have Vera Rioblanco and wear them loads, very comfy, and can wear them with a dressy outfit or casual

Suzi9989 · 08/04/2023 07:48

Air and Grace?
Am also in the market for some after my 6yr old Veja is looking tired still wearable!! Considering going for a the beige/white combo

Wavesandtrees · 08/04/2023 07:52

I have been looking for something else too. My usual pair are converse/superga, new every year as they just don't last. I found a lovely pair of New Balance but was trying to justify the 120 price tag. Are they worth it?

I've just bought these. Not sure how cool or not they are, but I like them. And yes, no more Nike for me thanks.

I love my Stan Smiths - have three pairs in white, beige and a charcoal suede.

I see Vejas are popular but read on hear many find them uncomfortable.

My Veja campos are super comfy

@grayhairdontcare Are New Balance owned by Nike? I thought they were different brands
