Speculate me some smart white trainers.

I don't normally wear trainers, least of all white ones but I got a job that's come up that needs smart white trainers. What kind should I be looking out for? Anyone know any cheap ones, being a student and all. They'll come in useful for later jobs but I won't be wearing them out of work. Cheers people.

Didn't know such a thing existed.

Just go to a sports shop and look at some!!!!!!

Sports World ex SportsSoccer is usually quite a good bet, you can probably pick up some Lonsdale (maybe not smart enough) or something similar cheap there.

True. They'll all make you look like a chav unless you are actually using them for athletic activities or fitness training.

I had to reread my brief a couple of times and phone up the company to make sure it was correct but I have to where smart black trousers and smart white trainers. I need some that might actually look remotely good.

I got some white fake All Stars in Primark for £2

Yes you read that right, £2

Lacoste trainers are horribly made, they look really bad up close.

Jock Dodds · 1 Oct 2007 at 16:46

i have a pair of Evisu trainers that are about as close to smart that you'll get, wrong side of £50 though

Like I say SportsWorld (SportsDirect on the internet) will have a few options, the first cheap pair with laces I came to are in the link.

Velcro-strapped trainers are very much "in", in terms of fashion. Alternatively, you can purchase the exact same trainers with laces. Should be available from most JD-Sports/Trainer/Sportwear outlets. I purchased a black pair a year back for £40 so I presume they will be around the same RRP.

Sorry, my mistake for not checking the link - Mens Footwear - Lonsdale and they are on the top right of the third page called Court Ltd Edition.

Speculate me some smart white trainers.
