Which Trainers are you Loving/Buying?

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 😀

Cant afford any just yet but I have some on my list!
Just the classics, red and black converse and a pair of vegan sambas.

Annoyingly I have several converse but went up a shoe size when I put on weight then didnt go back down when I lost it!🙄

I'm eyeing up these. I have arthritis in my hip and I'm hoping their sole will help as a shock absorber

I'm so jealous of all these colourful shoes, I'm not brave enough and always go for all white 😅. I got some white Adidas Nizza last week to wear with summery dresses and love them so much I've ordered the hi top ones. So comfortable and they go with everything! Off to lust over some colourful shoes now 😅

I’m waiting for these to be delivered in the next hour.

For those of you that fancy the blue and yellow Cortez they're on sale in Size https://www.size.co.uk/product/blue-nike-cortez-womens/19615417/

I bought them in green and pink. I love them and they are so comfortable, but then another poster highlighted the Misogyny controversy which is current with Nike. It’s appalling and puts me off buying anything else from them until/unless they change their ways!

@SpottyBrolly I weakened. It was really hard not to at that price. Have you ordered from this company yourself? I hope it’s the real deal.

I've bought a few trainers from Size, don't worry they're legit.

AnnieSnap · 21/06/2024 15:29

@Cocolapew the price for these is amazing at £50 (plus £5 pp) I bought them in green from Office for £79.99 (less 10% discount, no P&P)!

Junior sizes, shame as very nice.

I've just ordered them too. Buying kids sizes is great as they are cheaper but still fit 😁

littleteapot86 · 21/06/2024 19:04

Oh crap. I wonder if I've bought the wrong size 😅 I thought junior sizes were the same as adult but just the fit was a bit different 🙈

SpottyBrolly · 21/06/2024 20:17

@AnnieSnap yes, they're on the high Street and have been around for about 30 years. I got a pair as well

I've been loving New Balance lately because they are seriously comfy!!! A bunch of girls at work wear them, and they all say they're like walking on clouds. Do you know those days when your feet were like, "Nope"? These shoes fix that.

They come in various styles, so you can find something cute that feels amazing. Definitely worth checking out if you're on the hunt for something that won't kill your feet after a long day.

Amazon has quite a good deal!!! Gorgeous!!!
V comfy!

Good Luck !!!

Worn my Hoffs to 3 gigs this week and walked miles around the city getting there and back. My feet felt the same when I took them off as when I put them on. They are brilliant.

I have the Rome and the Seoul ones

KateMiskin · 21/06/2024 21:24

I love all these colourful trainers, especially the Nike Cortez..But in practice I wear all white in summer and black or grey in winter because they go with everything. How do you pair those bright colours with your clothes?

Sorry double posted!

Love a bit of yellow. Will look amazing with everything.

I have a problematic foot so can only wear Nike. I have a lot of trainers! My favourite ones at the moment:

I almost never wear black and if I do, I accent it with colour. I love green (very in this season) and blue, so it’s easy for me to wear green and/or blue trainers 🙂 They also look fabulous with white clothes of course.

Oh, I never wear much black either. And I wear a lot of blue and some green too. I think I need to be more adventurous with my trainers!
