Which Trainers are you Loving/Buying?

[AnnieSnap]

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 love these too, but purple doesn’t work well for most of my wardrobe and the blue is much darker than I’m after.

But Rishi Sunak . . . . . . . 😳

I’m usually a 7, but something told me to try the 7.5. It was a good decision. They are a great fit. Hope that helps.

@MuscariFan I still wear my white ones. It depends on the day/mood/outfit

I always quite liked Nike’s promotions re women. Can you tell me about the misogyny?

I'm another Hoff fangirl. They're the comfiest trainers I've ever owned. I'm wearing Mallorcas right now.

Are they comfy? They look so clunky and heavy. I really want a pair but don't want to not wear them because they're uncomfortable

@thequickbrowndog
I find them really comfy and not clunky at all. I have had to become more selective about my footwear due to Plantar Fasciitis and tendinitis. I can only wear my regular gazelles now for a couple of hours or when I'll be mainly sitting or I pay the price but can walk all day in these.

Love those addidas gazelles! I’ve just bought these Air Force 1s and it was love at first sight. Air Force 1

I love my Hoff Palermo. Would love a second brighter pair, or darker for winter but oh the ££ ☹️

I love my Gazelle Bolds in pink but I’ve just ordered the green Cortez too😬they are stunning!! Thanks OP!

@FrancesDelphine I’m also suffering from plantar fasciitis. Despite a collection of beautiful shoes I’m mostly wearing my Hokas 😥

Of course.

Oh and using Dylan Mulvaney (a male with no breasts or implants) to advertise women's sports bras.

@FairIsleCromartyForties shit that’s really depressing and anger making 🤨😡🤬

I’ve found another beautiful shoe (not Nike given their appalling practices). Has anyone got any experience of these? I really like the profile of the sole.

I've only got the city ones in Hoff are the other types comfy too? I have horrible foot and ankle pain after tearing ligaments.
I was surprised the Hoff was so comfy because they are flatter than I usually wear.
I have about 40 pairs of trainers 😳

I’ve gazelles, speczials and campus but wanted some trainery trainers! I recently got these.

Can any of the Hoff lovers give me an idea of the sizing - do they come up big or small? Thanks

Oh this thread has not helped my indecision! I have been eyeing up those green/pink Cortez's for ages, but when I saw them in the flesh I preferred the look of the leather ones, but they are mainly white and I want colour!
I'd also been eyeing up On Monsters mentioned on this thread, and the burgundy/navy Hoff's would slide perfectly into my autumn wardrobe.
Then I saw those Puma Palermo's, wow, those are beauties!
The only issue is, I can't afford them all 😂

I've just bought these! I've always loved that colour combo and all my trainers are white so it will be a nice change too!

Love those OP, I find Nike's so comfortable.
Have a few pairs. Am
Currently wearing white and green sambas that I bought pre Rishi.

Thinking of braving white trainers.

They do look rather beautiful. What is the fit like?

I've just bought these to add toy Gazelle/Samba collection

I also love Reebok classics and recently got a pair of very pale with grey and silver from. M+M for £20
