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 😀

Love a colourful trainer, but I've gone for all-cream 327s in the sale. Hope they fit as postage was 😣

Oops, meant to add a link NEW BALANCE 327 suede and corduroy sneakers | NET-A-PORTER

@AnnieSnap ahhh I see, thanks for explaining

BabyPapa · 29/06/2024 20:40

Cortez are some of my favourites! I also really like some Air Force 1s for a casual trainer. You also can't beat new balances.

Thanks for all the trainer links ladies some new pairs to buy now

WTAFisthisnonsense · 30/06/2024 08:21

I've just bought a pair of Hoff trainers. They are the best I've ever had.

I bought campus 00s in both the orange and the green - I went to Office to buy the green but fell in love with the orange a little bit... great for my wide feet, and 10% BLC discount

I love these, unfortunately I wasn’t able to get my wide feet into them 😢

Which ones?

I've caved and bought a pair of those, I have a pair of 327s that I recently bought, they are very comfortable but wanted another pair with no colour and a size up. But was planning to wait a bit, it was the sale price that did it for me.
I hope I can until the autumn to buy some Hoff's in a wintery colour.

These are the 327s that I have already.

These are dreamy - and sold out 😫

Spaggybollynese · 30/06/2024 21:12

@HostessTrolley the pale green are ❤️ do they size up big / small? Any good for wide feet?

Meadowtrees · 30/06/2024 21:20

I’ve never really worn trainers, just got some Hoffs and it’s like having clouds on my feet. Love them! Great arch support too.

Try elsewhere. I got the turquoise blue, with yellow flash from Size.

I love Cortez’s but they feel too chunky for me. I prefer a flat trainer. I am obsessed with those green and pink ones though, I saw them just after buying these. Im a big fan of adidas trainers for comfort so have quite a few gazelles and sambas, however these are my boldest pair. Eyeing up the red and pink Spezials.

Cortez are sooo narrow, so if you have a tad wider feet avoid like the plague or size up 2 sizes and look like a clown.

AnnieSnap · 01/07/2024 11:10

These are Cortez on me (I was showcasing my handmade dress). I don’t think they look chunky at all.

Wide feet and plantar fasciitis recommendations for all these amazing colourful and fashionable trainers please?? Hoka? HOff?

Yampy · 01/07/2024 11:56

Fabulous 😍 @AnnieSnap

WrongSortOfPoster · 01/07/2024 12:41

Thanks @AnnieSnap . Im so glad I asked. My sewing is more like Incompetent Beginner but the dress looks flattering and versatile and I can see myself making several of them. Looks great on you.

It’s a straightforward make and the lovely Sara (the designer) has a tutorial for it on YouTube.

thank you @Yampy

Honestly though, the photo isn’t about the dress, but the shoes 😀
