Yet another trainers one!

[Lifebeganat50]

I’m trying to work out if these 2 pairs of trainers are ok or really naff! I’m not bothered about brand names, I know which brands these are trying to copy!
I just can’t decide if they’re ok enough😂

Any opinions?

(I’ve linked 2 pairs, the first is white leather)

The black ones are ok but the others look like something I'd wear to the gym.

I can't wear white trainers, they end up filthy within days and then relegated to trips to the supermarket rather than for work. So from that perspective the beige ones are better, but they also have suede so I would manage to ruin that in days too.

It’s automatically linked to the black colourway, I’m looking at them in white

I've got the beige ones. They are really comfy and I'm considering getting black ones too. They look nice with my wide leg jeans and black trousers.

I prefer the second ones,

I like both! The second beige pair look really similar to a pair of new balance trainers I have, they're the same colour and I wear them with everything so I reckon you'd be able to get loads of use out of them!

I’m in the market to buy both! I could pay £100 for New Balance, which I think the beige ones are copying, or I could get both of these for £100!

@fruitpastille thats really good to know, as I have wide leg jeans!

Love the 2nd ones. 1st ones look cheap

Usually wear new balance but tried the beige m and s as they looked similar. Soo uncomfortable though, the material is hard and rubbed feet ( through trainer socks), glad I'd not worn them outside and was able to return.

@Tillygan60 thats good to know about the stiffness-if I get them, I’ll give them a good try on carpet before I commit

The new balance are so comfy… well worth the price… I walked miles and miles every day on hols in mine. I love them. Treat yourself to the real thing 😁

I’ve got the second ones in the beige and the black. They’re so comfortable and have lasted really well, I’ve had them over a year. I wear them with everything, tbh.

I bought them  after I bought some New Balance ones and found them to be the most uncomfortable shoes I’d ever put on my feet so sent them back.

I think colour is back for trainers

They are copies of Nike AF1 and NB 327s I think.

Id definitely get the real thing! I stopped buying dupes a few years ago and I feel much cooler and they last a lot longer.

Dependant on size you can get AF1 up to 6.5 in older kids/ juniors and mine were £55 plus a 10% discount from somewhere!

Love the huraches @User19792 do you have them. Just got the ozweegos from adidas.

I bought M&S dupes of Vega-style trainers last year and they're really not all that comfortable, squeek annoyingly when I walk, and look obfiously like dupes. I mostly bought them just to see if I wore them/ liked white trainers though, before I shelled out on more expensive ones

I have them in beige and black and love them… so comfy

I’m really not into brands for the sake of the name, but if they’re a better fit then I’ll go for them, I may try them on these ones and it’ll be ugh no!

They're definitely copies of the AF1 and 327s though.

my feet have reduced in size due to weightloss-I’m a 7 so unfortunately no scope for the junior sizes-socks law! I’m having to start from scratch restocking shoes hence why I’m looking for a couple of different styles

My gran said to spend on your shoes and your bed because if you’re not in one you’re in the other 😂

I ordered the first ones in white and they were delivered today. Definitely not white. The uppers were slightly off white but the soles were cream! They are going back! 20% off with sparks card as well! I like the second ones too.

That’s really helpful-I’ll not be ordering them!

I tried the second pair and they were really comfy. Returned as don't know if I like the NB design thing of sole coming up the back.

I've only ever had one pair of M&S trainers and they ate my heels, couldn't return them because of the amount of blood.

I hope they’re not naff. I’ve got the new balance dupe ones in the bright green and had 2 compliments on the 1st wear. Personally love them and they feel really well made and comfy. I’ve also got a similar pair of cream leather ones from M&S but they’ve got a colour stripe and a few more details. I don’t personally like the stark bright white.
