I'm a fan of Sketcher Go Walk. So comfortable, and in lots of colours.

I have no concern about mutton dressed as lamb. I have suffered long term back pain and arthritis in the knee.
On advice from hospital specialist and physiotherapist I wear training shoes most of the time.
I wear Nike, Sketchers, Reebok, Adidas, and have trainers in most brands. Somewhat sad that I can no longer wear heels or any floppy type shoes but comfort, stability is the best thing.

I've spent almost all my time in lockdown wearing a pair of M&S slip-on trainers - very comfortable, just like slippers! If I have to go out, I wear my Skechers trainers with memory foam insoles and latterly, for coffee mornings, the favourite have been blue flattish Hotters with a diagonal strap. I have about six pairs of Hotter sandals which will come out if it really gets hot later this week/

I wear the same kind of trainers I've always worn, currently Asics in various colours because I find they suit my foot shape and are very comfortable.

Heavenly Feet. Love their floral and colourful shoes (and boots). I buy from their shop in St Ives in Cornwall, but you can buy online. I would still buy Dr Martens, which I wore for a long time, but I find them too heavy for me now. They are very expensive too, although they last forever. I like the ageing hippy look, but not everyone's choice, I realise!! confused

I do wear my deck shoes a lot but I love these as wellhttps://www.vivobarefoot.com/uk/kids/mini-me/ababa-leather-kids?glCountry=GB&glCurrency=GBP&colour=Navy&gclid=CjwKCAjw0_T4BRBlEiwAwoEiAbP7SvxHSXeLup89KZvnmpkPBqp6WTDigTVm2UE3N-ukhE9e3-VqKxoCK3EQAvD_BwE

Superga 2750 great for wide fitting and colours .

This year I have bought three pairs of Hotters which look like Converse and also have from last year a pair of blue and silver Caprice trainers - don’t ask me why I have so many, there’s also a pair of white and silver Skechers from the year before at the bottom of the cupboard!

Same as 52bright!

52bright Sun 26-Jul-20 19:17:58

sketchers, ankle boots and flat fun shoes in summer worn with jeans or dresses with footless tights.

Gabor trainers - wide fit. Soooo comfortable.

tanith Sun 26-Jul-20 18:59:57

Skechers for me too I have numerous pairs, they do so many different types.

Skechers trainers
Timberland & Clark's boots

Can I ask everyone what type of trainers or casual shoes do you wear ? I like to be fashionable but don’t want to look as though I’m trying to be too trendy at 60 .
