I wasn’t in the market for a new pair, but I came across a fashion page the other day and saw these in green and pink. It was love-at-first-sight 😍 I ordered them straight away (and I don’t generally buy impulsively). They arrived and I love them. They look beautiful (IMO), are very comfortable and weirdly seem to make my (size 7.5 UK) feet look smaller. I love them so much, I’m tempted to buy them in blue (with a yellow tick) too. I can then where them with most of my outfits 😀

I have got these in the last couple of months, the Hoff are so comfy.

I have those Hoff ones too! Bought them very soon after seeing them on an online ad. They are so comfy.

I have to stop opening these threads. I just ordered the Nikes!

JamSlags · 19/06/2024 14:41

@AnnieSnap love them! Can you give me a steer on sizing please? The UK/EU sizing doesn’t seem to match up in the usual way on the size guide - I can be anywhere between a 6/6.5/7 depending on shoe style and I use the EU sizing as a check because a 39 is usually good in a trainer for me.

😂

I feel the need for some white leather trainers - supportive, not Converse/Superga types. (Yes, I'm intending to be a cliché. No, I don't care.)

I am also a cliché for NB 327s, have them in a few colours and love them, but want something a bit more streamlined in white.

Springwatch123 · 19/06/2024 14:49

Probably not on trend, but I like the puma Cali or Carina. A chunkier shoe seems to suit my feet more.

There I was, naively thinking if would be a shoe with unicorns on it…!

SloaneStreetVandal · 19/06/2024 15:02

Cortez always puts me in mind of the shoes you used to have to wear at a bowling alley - its the toe panel I think.

They're nice. I got a bright green Air Max limited edition which had velcro side fastenings but damned things came up small and now discontinued. Grrrr

I also have these Hoff ones (Madrid?) Love them!

I recently developed a Flower Mountain addiction 😅 only on sale though 💰

uncomfortablydumb53 · 19/06/2024 15:34

I have 3 pairs of adidas superstars, black white/ purple and beige suede
I've also just bought a pair of Camper trainers BNWT on vinted for £15. Googled and they're £130!

faffadoodledo · 19/06/2024 15:46

I am a walking Hoff cliche but don't care because they are so comfy. Tempted by the Gazelles upthread too. garghhh why did I open this thread? It's like catnip!

Verv · 19/06/2024 15:53

Love the green and pink Cortez.
I too am another Hoff saddo at the minute, got some Delos runners and some Tribe Mesa's that i'm living in.

Adidas have just released some orange campus 00's which ive got my eye on.

It’s me, I’m the problem - bought the orange Campus two weeks ago. Sorry to report they are absolutely as comfortable as you’d hope. Do it!

AAAAARRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH
I have been resisting for a fortnight!

FairIsleCromartyForties · 19/06/2024 16:38

Thanks for the thread, loads of really nice trainers. I'm boycotting Nike for their endless misogyny, but lots of other inspiration for me here!

Oh my mistake. I try to avoid him, so that’s my excuse. Fortunately, I have no Sambas. I can now safely look at Gazelles. Although, I am so in love with my Nike Cortez, that I don’t know that I can resist my next pair being the blue version of those 🙂

I love sambas , these are my lovelies 😍

I got some Hoff trainers (dragon fruit) but then realised I prefer the Santa Marta

or these:-

They are based on a bowling shoe

I love them. You’re killing me. I can’t justify another green and pink pain. I wish they did them in a pale blue that isn’t on white. How does the comfort compare to others?
