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 ?

No. And to be fair ecco last for ever

Oopsadaisy1 Sun 06-Mar-22 15:37:21

£85 for a pair of white plimsolls!

The world has gone mad.

Do you still have to whiten them?

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!

Superdry for £35 Millie22?

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

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

Millie22 Sun 06-Mar-22 14:47:13

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.

Forget Nike, I just checked the web store and adults sizes are over £100! I have child size feet so would only cost me £65.

Ecco and Superga

My white Nike Air trainers are around 15 years old. They are extremely comfortable and have worn really well, but I’m not sure what the price is now.

PS I've round my shoes on the Hotter web site. The model is called 'Chase' and is available in white. I'm so tempted.

Ooh yes. I did see the Chase trainers. I love the zip detail. Tempted. Very nice.

I will let you know if I buy any white trainers.

As soon as I do they will go out of fashion - be warned ?

This is why I don't want to get anything to expensive.

Snowberry.Z I don’t care if they are in or out of fashion. I like them. I like the look with dresses or jeans. Each to their own I say

I bought my last pair of white trainers from Next they are laceless so slip on easily,they come in half sizes and wide fitting if needed, they where £45.oo full price but I was lucky to get them half price in their sale,so comfortable.

annodomini Sun 06-Mar-22 12:03:13

It's many years since I wore tennis shoes (aka white trainers) and it was a hassle to keep them white. I have a light grey pair of Hotter's trainer-style shoes which are divinely comfortable - and, yes, accommodate a bunion. I seem to remember getting them at a reduced price and am still looking for a similar pair, maybe even in white.

Fitflop's Rally trainers in black, denim blue or white. Wonderful for everyday running about. They sell for about £100 but you can get 20% off with a voucher code.. They are slip-on, wide fitting and utterly comfortable

I have a look at TKMaxx. They have lots of brand name trainers at seriously reduced prices. I bought a pair of Ecco for a third of the rrp. Very comfortable but not white. Worth a look to see if other brands in white.

I’ve just bought a white pair of Converse. They’re called Dainty Ox and the soles aren’t too chunky. They’re either leather or a synthetic equivalent. I’m really happy with them. You can buy on line but I believe they’re sold in Office and similar shoe shops.

I'm a fan of Sketchers shoes. Having a tailor's bunion, I like them because they have enough give so as not to rub and irritate it. They have several white styles at about £80 - £85.

Yep.. Good old Sketchers, I have a pair in Dayglow Pink.
Also I have Superga but I found they are not as comfy.
My new favourites are pair of White "Skippers" from Albirds they are fabulous and you can put them in the Washing machine.

I’ve just bought Sketchers white trainers from Sports Direct. They had several types, some on special offer. I find Skechers really comfortable and hard-wearing.
