Women’s, men’s, and children’s sneakers come in low, high, or platform styles, made from canvas, leather, or suede, in shades from white to black.
Colour often sets the tone: white or black sneakers go with any wardrobe, while a colourful pair becomes the statement piece of the outfit, whether from Asics or Victoria.
Women’s trainers are primarily sought in white and black. The Victoria trainers in canvas and the platform-soled Victoria Tribu trainers, the Buffalo trainers with thick soles, and the Steve Madden Possession-E trainers cover the women’s platform trainers, while the Skechers trainers focus on the comfort of a memory foam insole.
The Asics trainers are the trendy trainers for men with the Asics GEL-1130 and GEL-NYC, two retro runners in grey, beige, or white. The Geox trainers Spherica feature breathable soles, and the Saucony trainers and Mizuno trainers include the Saucony Progrid Omni 9 and Mizuno Wave Rider, offering white or grey trainers with a running look.
High-top trainers cover the ankle and are better for winter. The Palladium Pampa trainers, made of canvas with a rugged sole, are a prime example. The British Knights trainers offer both high and low styles, and the Converse trainers feature the Chuck Taylor All Star and Chuck 70 models.
Canvas trainers are lightweight and breathable: Superga 2750 cotton trainers on Superga trainers, and retro Gola Elan in nylon and suede on Gola trainers. Leather trainers last longer and are easier to clean: Le Coq Sportif Courtset trainers on Le Coq Sportif trainers, Gola Harrier suede trainers, and low models on Fila trainers and K-Swiss trainers.
Other branded trainers are sorted by brand: Nike trainers Initiator and V5 RNR, adidas trainers, Puma trainers Speedcat, Reebok trainers Classic and Club C, Hoff trainers, the Spanish brand named after cities, Pepe Jeans trainers, and Guess trainers.
Children’s trainers match adult models in smaller sizes: Asics GEL-1130 in GS version for larger children, Victoria Tribu platform trainers, and Gola Elan trainers, available down to baby sizes.
Cheap trainers can be found in shoe promotions, and new trainers arrive every season. The pairs shipped in 24h go out without delay, and at the end of November, the Black Friday trainers offer the biggest discounts before Christmas and then the winter sales. Fast shipping and guaranteed best price.
Retro runners, like the Asics GEL-1130 trainers, canvas Victoria trainers, and platform trainers Buffalo are among the most commonly worn models. White and neutral tones remain the easiest colours.
Try them on at the end of the day when your feet are largest: your toes shouldn’t touch the end, and your heel shouldn’t slip. A good fit feels right from the first steps, without any pressure points.
Alternate between two pairs to let each dry between wears, and store them away from heat. White trainers should be cleaned as soon as they show signs of dirt, before it settles in.
High-top trainers in leather or suede and models with rugged soles, like the Palladium Pampa or Asics Gel-Venture 6 trainers, hold up better against rain and cold than canvas trainers. A waterproof spray applied to leather or suede provides extra protection.
High-top trainers cover and support the ankle, while low-top trainers leave it free. Low-top trainers go with almost anything, while high-tops are worn with tapered trousers or rolled-up jeans.
