Hoff, Saucony or something else? Coloured comfortable trainers for summer!

I’m looking for some trainers for a holiday this summer - need to be comfortable for 20K+ steps in a day. A bit of a mesh upper would be welcome as it will be hot most of the time.

Quite fancy something with a bit of colour, don’t really want another pair of white trainers, and I think I need something a bit on the chunky side. I’m cursed with big calves, so anything too dainty looks ridiculous on me when worn with shorts. Though I also have short legs, so it’s a bit of a balancing act!

I’ve been eyeing up some Hoffs and Sauconys, but interested in how anyone finds them comfort wise and/or any alternative suggestions.

i have some lighter profile NB and Spezials for wearing with dresses, and thinking about some teva sandals (don’t love them, but think they’ll be comfortable), but on holidays with lots of sightseeing I can’t wear the same shoes everyday so looking for some trainers on days I need support and comfort! Part of my trip will be in places it’s cool in early mornings/evening so I don’t want to rely on sandals either.

I’ve got some Hoff trainers - they’re very comfortable. I have broad feet and a bunion and Hoffs are perfect.
They're also very fashionable 😂

I bought some multicoloured Hoff's on a holiday in January and walked miles in them on the holiday with no problems.
Sadly, it's not really been dry enough here to wear them much since

Thank you both, that’s good to hear!

I have La Sportiva Jackals in blue green and orange as my street shoes. A bit pretentious and certainty overkill but I love them

Aro is a good brand
from Barcelona and they have a lot of styles with a mesh upper. Joaneta is particularly good, great for walking and very cool in hot weather. Lots of colours, vegan options and last forever.

You mentioned wanting colours and I posted a photo of white ones so here’s some colour!

These look great. Though I have some trail running shoes already, so possibly not quite what I’m after.

Love the colours! But shape / size wise, quite similar to what I already have and looking for something a bit chunkier I think.
