Smart black trainers

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?

@KikieToo the way MN works is that if you want to post about something you start a new thread.

These are super comfy and not too dissimilar. They also have the same style with more of a platform. https://uk.puma.com/uk/en/pd/carina-2-0-sneakers-women/385849?swatch=05&size=0190&gadsource=1&gbraid=0AAAAABB479VKVamSmtYSw4ADB3-elBpVH&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2ozu1dq8gwMVYpFQBh1B3ADREAQYASABEgI2iPDBwE

I actually ordered these M and S ones but returned them as they looked really cheap in the flesh! Granted, they only cost £20 as I had a code so I couldn’t really complain 😂 but they weren’t nice.

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

I like the look of these, thank you.

Thank you so much everyone for all the suggestions. Looks like I might get something for under £100 ( even though I’m still hankering after the vejas!!)

Ah, I haven’t actually seen them in the flesh. I guess you get what you pay for!

Topsyturvey10 · 01/01/2024 22:59

I got the Fitflop Rally in black with a white sole (they do an black
sole version too) from Amazon for £68. They are great for work and actually really comfy.
I slightly sized up as I found them a bit too snug.

You need to look up Kurt Geiger/Miss KG or Carvela.
They do smart black trainers.

Another vote for Clarks Craft Cup, sooooooo comfortable!!!

NearlyMonday · 02/01/2024 12:01

I’m about to start a new job, in a less formal environment than I’m used to. Most people seem to wear smart trainers, I can’t wait to have comfy feet at work!

NetZeroZealot · 02/01/2024 18:37

have you looked at the Veja website? Some of the other black styles are reduced in the sale.

Forgoodnesssakejustletme · 05/01/2024 17:36

@chosenone thanks! Just ordered the black flare zip that I didn't know I needed 😊

Twinkeeyes · 08/01/2024 22:25

Have you tried Pavers or sketchers

Twinkeeyes · 08/01/2024 22:25

I recommend looking on Pavers or Sketchers website

ScarlettDarling · 09/01/2024 06:08

I caved and ordered the Vejas from Daniel footwear, reduced to £112 so didn’t feel quite so spendy!!
