Help me decide between Gola or Adidas

I just can't decide... I'll wear them at the weekend and also in a relaxed office environment. I wear a lot of dresses, jeans and wide leg trousers.

Adidas - https://www.adidas.co.uk/gazelle-indoor-shoes/JI2713.html?cmmmc=AdiPaidSociallFBIGCrossCategoryoryDarkpost2D2DCarouseldv%3AeCOMCOM--cn%3AAlwaysOnNA---pc%3ACrossCategory&cmmmc1=UK&cmmmmc2=adidas-EMEA-eCOM-PaidSocial-FBIG-CrossCategory-ASCNA-UK-AlwaysOn-2411-2904-CP2DQLX-Global-NA-CBBUKHex&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0BMABhZGlkAasYoFtKm9EBHfqdhGWivW5KiOnKl1izFBUJfspKIJnLDnB-leNHSYzooktuMr4IWiAEQQaemK2OXjHYl-UjmCEdd7zIGzw&utmcampaign=120211506768610305&utmmcontent=120214671532780305&utmid=120211506768610305&utmmmedium=paid&utmsource=fb&utmm_term=120211506769310305

Are they too trendy? Are they really only for indoors?

Gola - https://www.gola.co.uk/gola-classics-womens-torpedo-glimmer-trainers-p5071/s29552?utmmedium=ppc&utmmterm=gola-classics-women-apos-s-trainer-leather-torpedo-glimmer-gol-uk-size-07-clb742yk107&utmcampaign=froogle&cid=GBP&glCurrency=GBP&glCountry=GB

Are the gola a bit too try hard?

Options most welcome 🤗

Golas are at least not as ubiquitous as Gazelles, but I’m not a mad fan of the metallics 😬 IMO there are nicer colours (like bone/white if you like neutrals). I’ve been pondering about those or the air/white Elans for a while.

Thank you, I'll have a wee look. I was trying to steer way from white 😬

I really need to know are they only intended to wear inside like slipper trainers?

I'm also a bit perplexed. They will be no use as slippers!

Oh good grief, I saw the title of this thread and thought it was a baby name thread 😂

As you were!

Adidas are imo infinitely more comfortable than Gola, if that has any bearing.

Businessflake · 09/02/2025 20:17

Doesn’t it mean suitable for indoor courts, as in non-marking and non-slip on indoor surface? Not that you absolutely can’t wear them outdoors!

This is helpful! Comfort is key! I have a narrow flat foot. If shoes have no support I get painful feet that spasm and very sore calves. Neither are pleasant.

I need good arch support and have always worn Adidas, both for sport and casual.

TokyoSushi · 09/02/2025 20:23

I have some Gola's they are very, very pretty - cream & metallic pink, but really not very comfortable, especially around the toes...

JerseyCrow · 09/02/2025 20:24

I've got two pairs of Gola and they are so fucking uncomfortable they sit in their box unworn for months at a time. Sometimes I forget and then hobble myself for a day.

RampantIvy · 09/02/2025 20:25

I would try them both on and buy the ones that are the most comfortable. I just can't wear shoes that hurt my feet.

Flomingho · 09/02/2025 20:30

Definitely go for the Adidas trainers. I have sambas, gazelles, campus and in various colours they are all so comfortable from first wear. I would recommend that you put the protective spray on suede ones though to stop them getting stains.

TheDayBeforeYouCame · 09/02/2025 20:55

I find the Golas way more comfortable than Adidas. Love mine and walk miles in them and I need arch support.

RoaryLion1 · 09/02/2025 21:52

I have a pair of both Gola and Adidas - IME the Adidas were a better buy as they’ve lasted years without fading or wearing too much, whereas the Gola’s look nicer but have faded really quickly. I find both equally comfortable and easy to wear in. Not sure if that helps!

haudyerwheesht1 · 09/02/2025 23:25

The metallic adidas are on their way! 😬
