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 ?

Live and let live!
The OP actually asked for recommendations of trainers in the £80 bracket, so that is why many posters are coming up with named brands they like! No one really cares what anyone else thinks of their choice.

I also have a pair of white Skechers - about £60. Very comfy and slip on so no laces to worry about. I haven't washed them a bit of Cif gets marks off but I would put them in the washing machine if needed.

Superga and converse for me.

Yep BlueBelle and Lucca I have bought shoes from charity shops: mainly “high end” names because if I see my size it is a rarity and a bargain.

Found some black leather Ecco lace ups and have worn them so much, a charity bargain.! The leather is still in superb condition after 4years but sadly the soles have shredded. Feel bad throwing them away.
Also I find some sensible shoes just too flat and “ploddy” and so look for a little lift at the heal end, but am not keen on the long exaggerated tongues.

As an aside: has anyone noticed that charity shops are filled these days with the most incredibly high heeled shoes ?, some are like works of art in cabinets. I fear that’s where most are destined to remain.
Perhaps being crippled by footwear is gong out of fashion.

Trainers from Dune London, I find these are comfortable and look good to wear with casual wear and dresses.

I really like the Addidas Nissa flatform ones...you can often buy them under £50.00 ?

Never, they make your feet look twice their size.

Last night, watching the interview stage of The Apprentice, I was astounded at the spindly heels those young women managed to walk on. Now, if white trainers are so fashionable at present, why were they not wearing those?
I remember, when I was 16, 'whitening' my tennis shoes with Meltonian cream, and, one day, I put them in the Rayburn's oven to dry. Luckily my mum managed to get them out before the soles melted. How are all these fancy white trainers kept so pristine?
