Trainers to wear with dresses

[Boymama84]

Usually wear Nike air force 1s however quite chunky to wear with dresses

anyone found any lovely plainish trainers to wear with summer dresses? Was thinking vejas but keep hearing their not comfy and I’m pregnant hot & bothered so need comfy & good looking

any recommendations appreciated

👍

Those Fairfax and Favor ones scuff incredibly easily, I love F&F but wouldn’t spend the money on the trainers! I usually just wear my Vans with dresses!

I have some leather ones from White stuff. Like these only with a bit of animal print on the back instead of green https://www.whitestuff.com/accessories-and-shoes/womens-shoes/white-mlt-leather-suede-trainer/

I don't think converse do the exact same shoe that I have, but these are close. They look super cute with dresses and skirts https://www.zalando.co.uk/converse-chuck-taylor-all-star-dainty-trainers-vintage-white-co411a1nh-a11.html?size=5&allophones=0&wmc=SEM440NBBGO.3909818306660570757424315859821.&opc=2211&mpp=google%7Cv1%7C%7Cpla-293946777986%7C%7C1006944%7C%7Cg%7Cm%7C%7C107769544221%7C%7Cpla%7CCO411A1NH-A110007000%7C293946777986%7C1%7C&gclsrc=aw.ds&gbraid=0AAAAADM17Ya8dY5ff-I-S7ByyAM7rgOUc&gclid=CjwKCAjw3ueiBhBmEiwA4BhspAlO8sY63QZlndkyLDysNPfy8GUF9I4kJA4rmhbj5obbFIVDFbgBBBoCv0QAvDDBwE

You've never heard of Converse or Adidas?

I wear plain white Vans and I've got some Converse copies from TU (Sainsbury's).

Mine are not these as they have a print on them but Sainsbury's are doing these this year. I've got genuine Converse as well and the TU version are just as good quality IMO.

I have black ellesport like these, I got them half price in TKMaxx https://www.bluntsshoes.com/ladies-ellesport-casual-trainers-f7r236/

I advocate dark colours rather than white as white gets stained really badly, really quick. I'm going to have to dye my white ones due to staining, yes I've washed them.

So many options think I need to go to the actual shops and try a few of these on and see what they look like thanks everyone! X

M&S have a really good selection, own brand and branded

Primark do converse “copies” however i find these and converse too narrow, my go to white pumps are from new look.

Stan smiths every time. Comfiest trainers going

Converse with the chunky sole, new balance 327s or adidas sambas.

So many of the options listed are just too flat footed for me and are uncomfortable. Plus I still like them to be a bit chunky and not plimsoll like.

I discovered Gabor Michaela trainers last year - absolute gamechanger! So comfy but look fantastic with skirts as pure white and a nice wide ribbons style lace.

The best

I bought Superdry low pro trainers last year and got loads of wear of them with long skirts and dresses. Available through Next.

Love these! Just ordered them from M and M Sports for £30 plus p+p. At least it won’t matter too much if they get marked.

I like https://www.gonovesta.com/starmaster. Old-style, retro-looking runners.

I have this pair and a navy leather pair with a white sole. I have been pleasantly surprised on how comfy they are. I have very fussy feet!

Lanvin DBB1 sneakers.
You can get them in all sorts of colour combinations of body and toe cap and they last forever.

I love my Axel Arigato's and New Balance 327's have them both in a couple of colours.

I can't wear heels any longer, since foot surgery, so have a trainer addiction

I was just coming on to say Gabor too

I’m the same minus the foot surgery - I just don’t do heels anymore.

Interesting about 327s with dresses - have only worn mine with jeans and leggings so far. May have to give it a go this summer.

Yes of course, but the very first 10 or so comments before mine were a variety of brands I had never heard of.

Stan Smith Adidas - I have 5 pairs in various colours/ designs - comfy/ not chunky and timeless

What are the soles like on the superga leather ones? I have a pair of canvas ones that I bought a couple of years ago and the soles are so stiff and heavy - literally felt like strapping a brick to the bottom of my feet...

I'm just trying to talk myself out of the olive/plum fairfax and favour ones...
