What trainers are you lusting after

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?

Thinking about another pair of Salomon Xt6

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

I have

  • Puma - white with brown trim
  • adidas green gazelles
  • black boots
  • + loafers for work (black x2, blue, purple)
  • ballerinas - snakeskin ,
  • plus a couple of old ‘gardening’ trainers
  • walking trainers x 2 (heavier pair and lighter pair)

Also have lots of Mary-Jane shoes for sumner (hate open toe sandals)

Can’t decide whether to get some burgundy trainers

None but I love the blue velvet Hoffs.

They’re absolutely fashion for me! In fact, I’d say my Spezials are part of my identity! I own no other shoes apart from a pair of plain black DMs and some Scarpa waking boots!

Same! DM's and a pair of chunky biker boots for winter.

@StylishAndBeautiful you’ve just reminded me of the time my Nan asked DH why he was wearing his slippers out when he had on a pair of classic Vans slip-ons. 😂

I have always found adidas comfortable. Not so much veja, which need breaking in, and then the backs always wear really badly and get thread bare.

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 red ones - they're so comfy, instantly. I couldn't decide on which colour so ordered the teal, red and yellow and spent a week gong back and forth and wishing I could keep them all! Have never bought fitflop shoes before and from a quick look at the rest of the website I probably won't again other than these trainers!

Just bought adidas spezial chocolate brown from Vinted bnwt.
Would love some asics nys in arctic blue for the gym.

StylishAndBeautiful · 05/03/2026 12:46

@Focusispower , I am your Nan Wink

My vejas were too uncomfortable, I sold them. I think the same happened to the stan smiths and gazelles.

StylishAndBeautiful · 05/03/2026 12:47

I want these WOMEN'S TRAINERS - Community Clothing

Lambzig · 05/03/2026 12:49

I just bought some Adidas Japan as they feel kind of suitably pared back for now.

I do love my Veja and found them really comfortable when they are broken in, but I have had two pairs and am a bit over them by now.

WendyFromTransvisionWamp · 05/03/2026 13:04

I love Vejas, they are comfortable straight from the box. I have wide’ish feet with narrow heels and high arches. Don’t know what the correlation is but I always feel really good when wearing them.

I also like them as they are quite low profile and streamlined. But Sambas, Gaselles and New Balance look like bread buns on my feet and I feel like Charlie Chaplin when walking 😬😆

ACIGC · 05/03/2026 13:27

Nike Shoe TL or the Max Moto. Almost marched right into JD to just buy them the other day.

msmillicentcat · 05/03/2026 13:43

These I am lusting after

But I have just bought a new pair of chocolate brown sambas with light pink stripes, and I also have 2 pairs of Adidas x Liberty. I also just sold a pair of Gazelles on Vinted. I also have a pair of new balance, some Nike low Air Jordans and I'm on my second pair of Veja's. I spend a lot of time in trainers.

To the person who mentioned Nike Internationalist - they are probably the most comfiest trainers I have ever had. Liberty did a colab years ago with Nike and the Internationalist were amazing, I wore them until they fell apart!

I'm also contemplating some ballerina-type trainers next...

BeaLola · 05/03/2026 13:54

lots of lovely trainers on here - if any fit fat feet I’m buying them !

RampantIvy · 05/03/2026 13:56

StorybookLove · 05/03/2026 10:31

I have around 60 pairs. I have size 3 feet so can fit into children's. My favourites are my cord Nike air max, I actually bought a second pair because I love them so much. I really want the nike air force with the velvet laces in burgundy.

Where on earth do you keep them?

DramaAlpaca · 05/03/2026 14:05

I've just treated myself to a pair of Adidas Sambas in green snakeskin and I love them.

Rover83 · 05/03/2026 14:11

Not cute but I really want these for work they are so comfortable www.on.com/en-gb/products/cloudmonster-3-w-3wg1003/womens/black-black-shoes-3WG10031043

whatwoulddexterdo · 05/03/2026 15:02

For those who mentioned Fit flip dash trainers, I have them in black, red and teal
they are really lovely but I would not describe the teal as teal, I thought they would be darker in colour. They are a light green in my opinion- still nice though

YelloyellowBlue · 05/03/2026 15:04

Can anyone advise which type of addidas is good for plantar sufferers if any? Ive gone off converse because of this, and am in boring HOKA but i love the look of loads of the trainers here

One pair of blue and pink Addidas Speziales, one pair of yellow/pink/green Hoffs, one pair of white Nike dunks with Green whoosh (summer only), one pair black Converse boots, one pair bright pink Nike Fly knits forevery day running around and a pair of cream and Black Nikes that I need to get rid of because they give me blisters on my heels! I'd love a park of pink Addidas speziales!

Silverbirchleaf · 05/03/2026 15:20

A little cheaper, but I’ve treated myself to these from New Look.
