Lacking Trainers :(

Hey, I have quite a few different shoes but... no trainers!! okay, the trainers i have are garbage (used for running and training).

However, I'm trying to go for a more casual look now and I need to buy some trainers. What do you guys suggest as the standard required trainers? I'm presuming I need a white pair and a black pair (wouldn't mind hightops on the black pair to tuck in jeans look etc.)... any ideas?

Brands/reccomendations welcome. No unknown US-only brands or really expensive trainers please. Preferably under £80. The lower the better because I'm looking to buy two pairs.. although I understand once nice pair is better than two rubbish pairs Smiling.

i dont like the flat flat heel on vans though... its a wierd thing but whenever i wear shoes very close to the floor (wierd way of explaining it), they dont feel nice.

also i like a more "rugged" type of trainer.

Shall we just keep guessing until you tell us the exact trainers you want to buy?

Say again?

Go look at trainers, look through waywts from here or wherever. stan smiths are almost just as preppy too

the shoes are actually quite nice but the tick is too offputting. i see far more people in vans than smiths. i need the show to be very casual.

i appreciate all the help and suggestions btw so far. thanks guys. basically the ultimate student shoe ha
