I am looking for trainers to wear with jeans and dresses. Preferably white. , not too chunky and not too expensive. Up to £80 for comfort, Any recommendations, have you bought any recently ?

Mine are Superdry and I think they were about £35. I love them and wore them a lot last summer and will be again when it's warmer.

I have these ones. Super supportive and comfortable and I’m not bothered if they’re in or out of fashion.

Callistemon21 Sun 06-Mar-22 15:10:08

Superdry for £35 Millie22?

Some of them are so flat, although the Ecco ones have a slight lift to the heel.

Callistemon. Thankyou. Look forward to hearing what you get.
I am looking at Sketchers white and another brand of gold and cream.I just may keep both , who knows !!

Gold and cream sounds nice for best!

£85 for a pair of white plimsolls!

The world has gone mad.

Do you still have to whiten them?

Lucca Sun 06-Mar-22 15:46:11

No. And to be fair ecco last for ever

Oopsadaisy1 Sun 06-Mar-22 15:49:34

I used this

And they are leather not canvas

Josieann Sun 06-Mar-22 15:55:00

Yes, soft leather is perfect.
I don't consider them expensive because they are very versatile. They can be worn with jeans, shorts or dresses.

Callistemon21 Sun 06-Mar-22 15:59:51

Thank goodness they are in fashion.
Having had to wear laceups since I was a child because of 'difficult feet' (well, I didn't for years) it's a relief to know I don't look like a dork now.

I wash my trainers in the machine. I have some Camper ones I got in a sale which are brilliant and I notice Uniqglo have some knitted white ones for about £15.

Can't stand them. Remind me too much of school segmentation and exactly Ooops picture.

BigBertha1 Sun 06-Mar-22 22:18:16

Mint Velvet have some lovely ones more stylish than sporty.

Am I missing something here - I don’t understand school segmentation confused

Another fan of skechers great for my bunion too!

Freya5 Mon 07-Mar-22 08:03:12

Just bought a Next pair of maroon trainers with a bit of gold trim, have a bunion , but pleased to see they are doing wider fit. Have worn them all w/e away, so comfy. At £35 pounds much more pocket friendly. Have never felt the need to pay £ 80 for a pair of trainers.

Ning74 Mon 07-Mar-22 08:13:54

Sounds good all the advice about trainers. I had to give up laces due to a stroke but could manage velcro fastening strips instead.
I’m ok with white and didn’t realise they were all the fashion.
Where have I been, not to notice the latest fashion? ?

Granmarderby10 Mon 07-Mar-22 08:23:30

Yes Lilypops just yesterday I bought some from Sports Direct- never bothered with them before but the assistant fetched me 6 pairs in my size 8 to try on ( lucky to get 1 in most shops)
…and ended up buying Sketchers Dlite for £47 and they were right the moment I tried them on ..and other customers were saying how good they looked.

Not chunky and hideous but substantial and just perfect for the summer when all the sludge has gone

Result?

Fitflop Rally job done !
PsFitflop I really should be on commission - I only wear your super Brand …

GreyKnitter Mon 07-Mar-22 12:43:57

I’m a sketchers fan. I was recommended them by the osteopath when I had plantar fasciitis and they seemed to help. They are now my ‘go to’ footwear. I’ve bought them more cheaply than the shop from sports direct and I’ve also had successful buys from Amazon. Don’t have every range but def worth a look. I have dark colours for the winter but you’ve reminded me to get looking for a lighter pair for the summer.

Slightly over your budget at £85, but Vega trainers are trendy and comfortable. They look good with both jeans and dresses and aren’t too chunky. You might be able to get them for less with a signup newsletter discount from online retailers.
For cotton trainers I’d recommend superga.

Veja trainers are very uncomfortable and seen on every mum at the school gates. How you think they are comfortable I just don’t get. The sole has no give and the tongue is too long.

Shirls52000 Mon 07-Mar-22 13:01:03

I got some lovely comfy KSwiss ones from Amazon couple of years ago very similar to these, about to get a fresh new pair

Given my Vejas to charity shop. Horrible shoes that are overrated.
