Smart Trainers For Office Wear

I am looking for some nice grey/white trainers that go with basically everything and look a bit smarter than converse. Any recommendations? Ideally under £80! Don’t want to go too near the £100 mark

Love this Q - as someone who wears trainers to the office most days, I’d go for Sambas! While they’re hard to get your hands on, they’re actually really affordable if you manage to buy them as soon as they come back in stock.

Otherwise, here are a few options slightly over your price point - BUT, I truly think a good pair of trainers are always worth the investment :wink:

I have always really liked white Adidas Stan Smith trainers for this, they are simple, affordable and can go with anything

These are worth the difference in price (you can usually get a discount too!). Give us small people a bit of subtle height too… worn mine to death I need a fresh pair. Judy - White Sneakers Woman | Vagabond

I got some Lacoste ones a few years ago and they are without doubt the comfiest and most stylish ones I ever had. V Isabel Marant vibes. They don’t stock them anymore but these new ones are pretty cool !

I have a pair of patent leather strasse Louboutin’s, they would be ideal as they are comfy, but look fancy and relatively non-trainer like. Attached is a photo and a link to a similar pair. https://www.shopstyle.co.uk/g/women/christian-louboutin/louis-crystal-embellished-high-top-suede-trainers-gold/827619628

The outnet has some stunning Axel Arigato. Super recommended

Hi there, just seen this but if you are still looking…aside from the Adidas Samba’s I can also recommend the Adidas Gazelle’s - look really smart and come in lots of colours including grey.

I think next I’m going to try Onitsuka Tiger. I think their Mexico 66s are a great everyday style. do an all white colourway but also have loads of different accent colour options! Most are around £100 but they have a few at a lower price point.

I have just bought the New Balance MR530’s for the office, there are some great colourways too:
