Smart black trainers

[ScarlettDarling]

I’m looking for a smartest pair of black, leather trainers. I love the black veja campo https://www.danielfootwear.com/veja-campo-p118062 but at £140 they’re a bit spendy. Also love the AllSaints Shana https://www.allsaints.com/women/loungewear/shana-leather-trainers/WF0042Z-5.html but at £129 they’re not much cheaper.
Any suggestions for a cheaper, similar alternative?

Black Stan Smith's?

I’ve been looking at these in Whistles….

Kin, Clarks, Geox (in the sale or I've picked up BNWT pairs on Vinted/eBay) I've got something similar to these and they are really comfortable and simple to style with lots of different looks https://www.clarks.com/en-gb/craft-cup-walk/26167764-p?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA4smsBhAEEiwAO6DEjTkeSxwpj51ZMvpOSSaiAOT5wMMT6Kx8tgyjx_aRx0YqDxt9icyO5RoCQaIQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Thanks all. The whistles ones are definitely the closest to what I’m after but unfortunately still over £100!
I like all of the suggestions but I want something fairly smart that I could get away with wearing to work (primary teacher.)

These?

What size do you need OP? There's a few on Dune but limited sizes left.

I have plain black fit flops I got for £60 online although the RRP is higher.
I had the all saints ones and unfortunately the quality was not good.

These are navy but I can totally recommend

Adidas nizzas, they do a platform version too

Check out Moda in Pelle. Especially while the sale is on.

I used to wear something similar to these at work. But only because I’m not keen on black trainer white sole look:-

I really like those Skechers but I’m not keen on the rose gold swoosh. Definitely one to consider though, thank you.

I’m a size 7 so there’s rarely anything in sales as the 7s all go pretty quickly. I’ll have a look at Dune though, thanks.

Yes, there’s a few pairs I’ve been looking at from Moda in Pelle this week. One pair I liked was in the Debenhams sale at a really good price. Do you know what the Moda in Pelle sizing is like? I’ve never had shoes from there.

Smart and comfortable

and they have a sale on…

Im on my feet all day and due to the orthopaedic style sole im comfortable and stylish.

@ScarlettDarling I have lots of Moda trainers and boots!
I am size 5, they are always fine. But I would say they frequently are quite narrow. Which is OK for me, but just to make you aware.

UGG do a few different smart black leather sneaker styles. I’ve got the Alameda style (there’s a low top and hi top version - I have the low) and another style called Milo I think.

UGG Alameda lace up sneaker black

@ScarlettDarling these are my black ones

These are comfortable and smart for work

I saw these in an advert and I love them.
But I don't own them. My feets are too bigs. :(

I tried these in white as they didn’t have them in black at the time. Nice on.

I really like the UGG ones actually. I was recently looking for exactly the same thing - smart black trainers with a bit of white or cream but no weird gold bits etc - surprisingly difficult to find. I like the Veja but have a white pair and they are not super comfortable. I ended up buying up buying some stupidly expensive ones from Bobbies but should have asked MN for recommendations first!
