Got my eye on the leopard print adidas classics and have seen some converse with like a scarf tie on them too.

Which pairs are on your wish list at the moment?

Love the colour of those Nikes!

I can’t do Pumas which makes me sad, my feet are just too wide 😭

Probably not very trendy but I would love a pair of Vejas. I met someone high up in my field wearing some last year and she was so cool and stylish I have a huge girl crush.

Another pair of Adidas Handball Speziale, this time in tan.

Not trendy, but almost all of the colours of these Fitflop trainers. I want several pairs and can’t afford them; can’t decide which colour I like best; buying none of them. 😄

I have the black ones but keep looking at the lighter colours. They are so comfy.

I’ll admit I was sceptical when you said fit flop but those teal ones are lush

Another pair of Adidas x Liberty. Or a jewel colour.

myladyjane · 03/03/2026 08:29

I also like the teal fit flops.

Isabelle70 · 03/03/2026 21:25

I was going to get the Adidas samba in the black snakeskin but they might be a bit too shiny so went for the burgundy snakeskin ones.

If it’s any help I find Vejas terribly uncomfortable and would never buy again!

Onitsuka tigers, Mexico 66 in the metallic finish. Either gunmetal or green.

Haha thanks!

YelloyellowBlue · 04/03/2026 21:28

Im interested in how many pairs you all have? I have only got 2 pairs of out trainers, one walking pair (HOKA) yet every outfit i love on instagram has a different pair of cool trainers. Is there a one size fits all? I had plantar fascitis so converse just doesn't work for me

YelloyellowBlue · 04/03/2026 21:46

I have similar to these and don't know how to style ie what jeans!!

I have the ones with just a bit of silver bling, go for it!

Squirrelchops1 · 04/03/2026 23:30

I just got green Puma easy riders as already have in magenta.

randomrandomer · 04/03/2026 23:34

Ooh, I like those. I'm torn between the blue and the green

I second this. I hated mine. And then my DB bought me some for my birthday and so was stuck with another pair for some time. They're also weirdly the first pair of trainers where I have slipped and fell wearing them a fair few times.

I would like a pair of the liberty X Adidas ones too.. and the Puma speedcat in burgundy.

I have quite a few - maybe 10? I have quite difficult shaped feet for shoes (high arches, wide at the front but not at the heels, some hyper mobility issues with ankle and knee which mean I can only do low heels). Even loafers and brogues would rub/pinch/fall off. Trainers avoid this for me (and boots too). Plus I like a bit of colour in my outfits. DH now has me on a one in one out policy…

I did read on another thread that middle age women in ‘smart trainers’ are frumpy so that was nice. That said I do tend to wear boots where smart is needed and mostly wear my trainers with jeans/casual outfits which is 75% of my time.

Pumas tend to work best for my difficult feet and I like the slightly less chunky profile of them. Adidas in general too as they are slightly wider. I do have a couple of dupe pairs too - M&S and new look. I am a small size so can get junior sizes, almost always get in sales or vinted too.

i also can’t sleep so apologies for my long boring reply….
