Especially if I head away for the weekend. I try and walk to places like sports games and films when I can so practical shoes are always best for me.</p> <p>Yes I think I will proceed with the gum soles - they have good reviews! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneakers---choices-to-make#post-2352912 Thu, 15 Feb 2024 19:21:47 +0000 Anonymous 2352912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Sambas and think they're a classic. Glad for the return of gumsoles instead of white. More practical, and much quieter looking. </p> <p>Don't be that pragmatic, Sal That's no fun!<br /> You had sport and gym as categories. Is there crossover, or do you need specialized shoes? Likewise, I'd think active socializing would go with work/social. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneakers---choices-to-make#post-2352779 Wed, 14 Feb 2024 21:01:04 +0000 Sal 2352779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks JAIleen - I like the Gazelles.&nbsp; Old School sneaks are fun.</p> <p>I should look at Sorel - and Merrell - these have both worked for gear sneakers for me in the past.&nbsp; Thanks Roberta.&nbsp; Sam Edelman is not prevalent here and I am nervous about online shopping from the US due to the potential return issues.</p> <p>Thank you Jaime - I have to wear covered shoes often at work and end up walking on grass, gravel, concrete etc (not all day but regularly) so sneakers are often a practical choice - or sturdy boots in winter.&nbsp; If I was pragmatic I would accept my fate and wear jeans and a polo shirt and a puffer every day..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneakers---choices-to-make#post-2352751 Wed, 14 Feb 2024 16:17:19 +0000 JAileen 2352751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have several pairs of Adidas suede Gazelle and Campus sneakers. &nbsp;They’re my “dressy” sneakers, for a step up from my Salomon hiking shoes. &nbsp;I had the Campus in navy for several years, and then got the Gazelles in dark grey and now in olive. &nbsp;I love that these old school shoes are trending.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneakers---choices-to-make#post-2352748 Wed, 14 Feb 2024 16:08:27 +0000 Roberta 2352748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might look at Sam Edelman or Rieker sneakers. I own both and have found them well made and comfortable. I agree with you that Vejas are fashionable but not comfortable. Go figure. Sorel has a very good looking sneaker with a gum sole that might suit you (Nordstrom or Sorel.com). Below are my Ted Baker sneakers with the black decoration around the sole, but I'm not sure that that brand is making sneakers anymore? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneakers---choices-to-make#post-2352723 Wed, 14 Feb 2024 10:39:32 +0000 Jaime 2352723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not a sneaker person, but have sneakers! I actually find Vejas comfortable fwiw. Understand you about white soles too and avoiding Sambas right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneakers---choices-to-make#post-2352716 Wed, 14 Feb 2024 07:10:09 +0000 Sal 2352716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They sound lovely Star - blush is such a versatile colour for shoes I think! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneakers---choices-to-make#post-2352714 Wed, 14 Feb 2024 07:02:22 +0000 Star (Lise) 2352714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have blush gum sole Puma's and they are so comfortable and versatile.&nbsp; At first I wore them only for fashion but as they have aged I wear them for urban walks too.&nbsp; Blush and the non-white sole go with&nbsp; a lot of colours and bags surprisingly.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneakers---choices-to-make#post-2352713 Wed, 14 Feb 2024 07:01:47 +0000 Sal 2352713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Carol - the first pair are the ones I donated as they were not comfortable.&nbsp; The second pair are the only ones I am considering at the moment - my post was a little unclear sorry!</p> <p>Suz - I think they could work well too.&nbsp; It is about the fit - whilst they won't be for my daily exercise I do need them to last at work or for travel or active socialising.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Lee - thanks - I really like the coloured sambas too and have admired the green and tangerine.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneakers---choices-to-make#post-2352709 Wed, 14 Feb 2024 06:04:09 +0000 Lee 2352709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the rollies. Like Angie, I think adidas sambas are a good option too. I am biased. I have a tangerine suede pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneakers---choices-to-make#post-2352704 Wed, 14 Feb 2024 05:05:01 +0000 Suz 2352704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the idea of the Rollies with the gum sole and how those would work with your hair and your lifestyle. I think -- if the fit is right -- they could be ideal.&nbsp;</p> <p>For me in the end it is all about the fit, and unfortunately, I have worn too many uncomfortable sneakers that seemed great in the store but turned out. a bust.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneakers---choices-to-make#post-2352702 Wed, 14 Feb 2024 04:48:07 +0000 Carol 2352702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;I am not a white sneaker person, but I would normally go for #2, the Pace Classic. This is the most retro, skater-like. However, I find it a bit too "correct." Therefore, I prefer the first, which makes much more of a statement.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneakers---choices-to-make#post-2352692 Wed, 14 Feb 2024 02:23:31 +0000 Angie 2352692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah! Now I get it!</p> <p><b>Sal</b>, focus on the low profile sneakers first since you don't have a pair anymore. Your instincts are dead right ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneakers---choices-to-make#post-2352689 Wed, 14 Feb 2024 02:06:12 +0000 Sal 2352689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - I don’t think I wrote well!<br /> My mistake. Worn but not worn out. I could replace them now or wait a few months. Shoes are always my priority though in my budget. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneakers---choices-to-make#post-2352686 Wed, 14 Feb 2024 01:56:44 +0000 Indigoprint 2352686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those Baku are pretty Fab.!<br /> I have a pair of plain white Stan Smith that are comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneakers---choices-to-make#post-2352685 Wed, 14 Feb 2024 01:35:10 +0000 Angie 2352685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought the platform sneakers were worn out,<b> Sal</b>?

Many of my clients find them uncomfortable too &nbsp;</p> <p>I LOVE you &nbsp;in white platform sneakers and vote get those! NOW!</p> <p>I also like the gum sole on those Rollies and how that will match your hair :)</p> <p>As for Adidas Sambas, aren't they leather? And to my eye, 100% iconic classic!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneakers---choices-to-make#post-2352672 Tue, 13 Feb 2024 21:55:38 +0000 Angie 2352672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Carla</b>, try these Vionics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneakers---choices-to-make#post-2352671 Tue, 13 Feb 2024 21:29:01 +0000 Carla 2352671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Rollie’s in your photo. &nbsp;Though Samba’s are ‘hot’ at the moment, aren’t they also a classic? &nbsp;</p> <p>I’ll be following, because I want a pair of simple, low profile, white sneakers, and like you, I want leather. &nbsp;Considering Stan Smith? &nbsp;Ecco’s didn’t work for me. :-(</p> <div><br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneakers---choices-to-make#post-2352669 Tue, 13 Feb 2024 21:13:37 +0000 Sal 2352669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi</p> <p>It is time for some sneaker rejuvenation in my closet.</p> <p>I have the following needs for sneakers:</p> <p>1) Sports<br />2) Gym and or active socialising eg travel, walk to cafe&nbsp;<br />3) Work, social activities</p> <p>My current collection is below in the finds - but I have just exited the Diadora black and white (worn out) and the Veja Venturi (first photo - purchased online and not very comfortable, I donated as they still had good life in them).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I have just added the Hoka Bondi (third photo) which I will wear for walking and some active socialising.</p> <p>Both my other fashion sneakers are well worn and I expect them to not last past this year although I am babying them along and still wearing them (the two pairs of platforms).&nbsp; So I want to add in a replacement for the Diadora flat retro sneakers.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I am thinking of the the Rollie's in the second photo - I am quite keen on a gum sole as I do find white soles can get dirty very quickly on pavement, grass etc and my other two options (plus the grey closed two sandals) all have a white sole (which I am drawn to)</p> <p>Ideas for me?&nbsp; (Whilst I like the Samba I think it might be a bit too hot/popular for me to add in).&nbsp; I prefer leather for this style rather than canvas.</p> <p>I wear sneakers a lot - as so many of us do - so my main concern is longevity and comfort - and being stylish.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks in advance - and hope this makes sense!
