These trainers - yes or no?

[WombForTwo]

I’m 27, and see my peers wearing things like this all the time, but I also feel like they’re not quite right 😂

New Balance are great trainers and fine for wearing in casual sports look A look that tends to only look good on the sporty.
Hoodies and joggers do not look good and neither do big clumpy trainers.

I've found some bright white clumpy running shoes from the noughties in the backof the cupboard. I shall look young and trendy this weekend!

I love my crocs.

I also found they were terrible quality. The front had a hole in within 1 month of light use. It put me off NB as they aren't cheap either when you can't buy juniors.

New Balance is a long standing British Brand that was v popular amoung runners. They hit upon this style of shoe that became very fashionable. But the actual quality is moderate and expensive. These are and always will be fashion trainers. They do have some extremely expensive ones c £150-£200 that and the quality is better.
I don't think you could pass wearing them with something smart though.

I would probably go for an Adidas - red or beige or funky coloured. I saw someone with blue and orange or yellow laces. Or one of the ethical trainer brands ( not sure but think Spain are making some good ones).

I think the style is fine, it's the brown that's giving the 'nan' vibes! I wear all white trainers which are otherwise very similar (and hope to God they don't look ridiculous!)

I've found NB quality to be good, but I've not worn the 327s, which I'd class as a fashion shoe. I'd class the sambas an gazelles fashion shoes.

The 327 wearers seem to be 'mum age group' not teens.

Honestly brown and white (or ideally brown and cream) is much more in currently than all white.

I like these much better.

I’m here marvelling that some people think trainers can look too sporty! They’re literally sports shoes?!

@StMarie4me , but some are leisure/fashion shoes and some were originally designed for running marathons in.

There are nicer trainers around tbh...

What about something like this @WombForTwo otherwise I normally go for New balance trainers. Or skechers https://www.mandmdirect.com/01/details/XS463?istCompanyId=9f9ff470-bcac-401b-814f-8f12edbd3b8b&istFeedId=d66f05e8-0145-4833-93eb-995bd3c15e0b&istItemId=pxlipqxai&istBid=t&ds_rl=1260413&campaignid=19584038344&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19584038344&gbraid=0AAAAAD5OKP2Suk1wJEkt5MOt6mnJ5QOJI&ds_rl=1260413&gclid=CjwKCAjwruXBBhArEiwACBRtHXozLLNfakEfWCPunz1Bi7Pgd5Z5ikOh6czUm-eYnppLs3cf7rNKRhoCc4AQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I have 2 of these skechers. One in white and one in pink. Most comfortable trainers i have had and have lasted about 5 years now and still as good as new. I wear them both equally about 3 times a week each.

New balance are also really good. I wear them on and off.

I think at 27yo the OP is probably too young for orthopedic shoes or Skechers 😁

@MoominUnderWater I'm 33 and a mum to 4... been wearing them for about 5 years... but ok!

I like them. I don’t think they look like Nan shoes. I have some very similar. Disclaimer: I am a mum in my 40s and the youngsters in my office talked me into them a couple of years ago, because they knew I was going trainer shopping and didn’t want me to end up with a “mum” pair.😂

I have the NB in while and blue and I’m 36, my PA who’s 21 loves them but she did tell me adidas are more “on trend” at the moment.

Err, no, they are hideous, keep looking.

I would recommend Adidas Spezials. They’re fashionable and come is some cool colour ways but they’re also super comfortable. The sole is moulded and I can run round after my two toddlers all day in them

My two at uni have these - I will say that they don't appear to have lasted as long as previous trainers they have owned (Nike and Adidas).

I found my trainer holy grail over 30 years ago - Adidas Superstars - and I buy a new version every year. They are the only trainers I'll wear as they fit my feet perfectly, I can run around in them all day and I now have quite a collection: a pair for every outfit... although my slightly furry animal print ones are my favourite.

Find a trainer you love and fuck what anyone else thinks about them is my motto.

I like them my DD has a pair and also a couple of my work colleagues wear them. They all praise them for how comfortable they are

I think if you're pregnant the Adidas ones will kill your feet, I love the look but find them too flat and narrow and not a comfy everyday shoe.
