My perfect trainers have just broken on me. They go with everything, suit all occasions and I can’t find them on line. A dupe will do.
Nike Zoom.
Help please.

Have you tried Vinted?

PeonyBulb · 15/07/2025 20:06

They’re not as nice you might think they are

Just get a completely new style

Deliciousandnutrious · 15/07/2025 21:21

@whoami24601 I hasn’t thought of Vinted good shout.
@PeonyBulb Mmm interesting. I love the colour and the weight. Do you have another recommendation. What about them do you think can be improved.

Sorry Op but I agree with @PeonyBulb

Just go shoe shopping in person and find something new

NewShoesForSpring · 15/07/2025 21:29

@Deliciousandnutrious I'm afraid I'm chiming in to agree with the previous posters.

There's so many gorgeous trainers out there to choose from!

I'd 100% ditch these & take the opportunity to get a lovely fresh pair.

I have worn a lot of New Balance over the years & I also love Hoff

Thanks for your comments @Howtotrainarabbit and @NewShoesForSpring.
Can you try to explain to me why my old pair should be updated. What am I looking for in a new pair?

what do you like about them? If it’s the colour way then I saw a lovely pair of sambas the other day. In the sale too if they have your size left

I am not a huge Hoff fan as they are a bit too chunky for me personally and narrow but again in brown:

and some brown New Balance

it may be that you dont fancy the brown but there is so much around. I veer towards adidas as my default as they are comfortable and I love them but am thinking of NB for my autum trainer. I do also personally love a puma.

@myladyjane Thanks so much for going to the trouble of finding alternatives. I will work through them. There is an Oliver Bonas round the corner so I will try some on too.

Deliciousandnutrious · 16/07/2025 06:09

@TracyBeakerSoYeah Yeah those are my beloved now defunct trainers. The link isn’t working for me but it gives me hope.
I love the colour it is between a brown and pale pink which makes it so versatile. My own colouring is that which goes with pale ginger hair so I wear lots of tan and green. Hence the pink brown trainers.

OP posts:
Stormroses · 16/07/2025 06:18

I understand OP. They are lightweight and neutral. I've been covering Adidas gazelle or tobacco for similar reasons. Low rise, not chunky in sandy tan or pale tobacco colours.

Can't seem to paste the link on my phone but try googling them.

Deliciousandnutrious · 16/07/2025 06:28

@Stormroses . That is great those terms are just what I need to search. You are very understanding.

I don't think you need is to tell you what's wrong with them, just have a look and find something you like. I had to go trainer shopping last week, thought I wanted a specific style and colour and found something quite different that I like. I wouldn't have known that without looking around a few shops.
