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)

Agree but also: My mother said to spend on good bras and underwear too because they make all your clothes look better.

@thedendrochronologist I have 4 pairs, white, black, beige and yellow/pink mix - they are so light and comfortable. I travel a lot and they are ideal.

They were wise old birds!😊

In case anyone was interested/cares😂Ive given in and gone with the branded

I have the branded ones and they are so comfortable so I hope you like them.

They're not naff, but they do scream,'I'm a middle-aged mum trying to be cool but get my shoes from markese.

The M&S ones say, I really like those new balance 327s but I can't afford them. That's why I got them.

I'm going to have to buy the blue now!

I have the NB dupes in khaki and orange from last year and I love them. Really comfy, and I usually have problems with shoes!

I was looking at the 2nd pair in M&S yesterday. I decided they felt really cheap and that they wouldn't last. Shame because they look nice. Sorry

I have also bought equivalents of the white ones from M&S before. The shoelace holes don't have any metal eyelets in them so eventually they rip and it's difficult to get them really tight. But if you're happy with a 1 season wonder they would probably do.

I have the beige ones. So comfortable, no wearing in.

I have the second ones, in black. I've worn them to death over the last 4 months or so, they are very comfortable.

And you have absolutely voiced the fear I had 😂

I have 327s but I hated them after about a week of having them. Everyone around here seems to have them and they slip off my (not narrow!) feet. Maybe the M&S ones are better!

I also have multiple pairs of 574s. I really like them and there are bargains to be had. Other than the shitty 327s I would definitely recommend buying actual NB instead of knock offs. They’re so comfortable.

Narrow feet.

Oops, have just seen your update. I hope you love them op and they fit you better than mine fit me!

And I’ve just seen yours about not narrow feet! I also have not narrow feet so I’ll give them a good try on carpet before I commit-I appreciate the headsup
