Need some trendy comfy trainers

No idea where to start. I'm short and curvy and prob will wear with jeans and dresses.

Need something that doesn't come up too high on the heel looks good and makes me look like I am in fashion!

Any ideas?

Check out Skechers, they're fab. Like walking on cushions.

Comfy but not really in fashion

New Balance are trendy and mega comfy! 530s or 9060 are cute, I have multiples of both. Some ON clouds are nice looking too and a bit popular, same for Hokas.

I find adidas gazelles comfy!

If you’re not bothered about a brand name then check out Moda in Pelle - I’ve recently bought a pair of white leather trainers from there, and there’s 20% off to at the moment, including sale items.

I bought these - they’re so comfy I’m going to buy another pair in another colour! I’ve worn with dresses and jeans this week.

Hoff! Great brand and very comfy

IamaRevenant · 25/05/2024 18:45

Dunno what's in fashion right now but I'd second Skechers. NOT the very obviously Skecher style with the weird moulded sole etc but they have some nice trainer designs (imo) - currently out wearing this (slightly battered!) pair and can confirm they are like walking on cushions as per @MariaLuna's post! My sister is way more fashion savvy than me and has the same in deep red and gold.

I would say Skechers are no no in terms of being trendy or in fashion!

thepurplepenguin · 25/05/2024 18:55

New Balance. I have 530s, 500s and just bought some 550s today. If you want to wear them with dresses, I would go for plain white 550s. 327s are still popular as well.

Adidas Samba and Gazelles are 'in' at the moment but my feet don't like them. If you have wide feet they might work though.

On Cloud are lovely but are not going to go with dresses, and with the best will in the world, Skechers are really not going to make you look in fashion!

thepurplepenguin · 25/05/2024 18:56

Oh, plain white Nike Dunk Lows could be a good shout with dresses as well.

Mumofyellows · 25/05/2024 18:58

I love my NB 327s they are so comfy! Also have some Gazelles, and do love my Vans too in the summer and they look cute with shorts or a dress...

rwalker · 25/05/2024 18:59

Well according to a thread the other day where a poster got there arse handed to them for slagging them off sketcher are on trend

Agreed

IamaRevenant · 25/05/2024 19:03

I also like Etnies but that may be the 90s/00s skater/raver girl in me 😅

TotteringByRosie · 25/05/2024 19:06

I bought Sketchers recently even though they are hideous because I wanted the comfort and support for walking. What an expensive mistake that was! I now own a hideous pair of Sketchers that cause all sorts of foot pains.

I've now bought another pair of Nike Air Max trainers. They look so much better and suit my feet and walking style. Pure comfort, they feel like I'm floating on air.

Parker231 · 25/05/2024 19:43

Am a big Veja fan - really comfortable and look great. I’ve now got several pairs to wear with jeans or dresses.

sisterlover · 25/05/2024 19:54

New balance 327 or 530 so comfy. The 327 go with more smart clothes and the 530 are more loungewear suited. In my opinion. I also still wear vans too
as they go with dresses/shorts/skirts. Converse high tops in back or white are also a good choice and can be dressed up or down. They also do platform ones too. I live in trainers and own all the ones I mentioned. So comfy. Hope this helps.

New balance 327s are ridiculously comfortable

Omg Etnies! 🛹

TattiePants · 25/05/2024 20:07

My Onitsuka Tigers are hands down the most comfy trainers I've ever had, even more comfortable than New Balance or Adidas. They go with everything.

Lilacwall · 25/05/2024 20:08

Veja are nice

stonkytonk11 · 25/05/2024 20:09

New balance are v comfy. I just bought myself a pair of trainers from Zara that I think would be good with skirts/dresses - contrast trainers, only £23 in the sale

Kitkat1523 · 25/05/2024 20:10

Adidas samba

fancyfrogs · 25/05/2024 20:10

Agree with new balance and came to recommend th too

Also have to agree with PPs that though they may be comfy, sketchers are in no way trendy or fashionable at all

MiniPumpkin · 25/05/2024 20:14

Sketchers are not cool. Sorry to all who posted re them. I’m saving these for when I’m a little older 😂 sorry
imo black and white vans go with everything
