Men of the Great Britain...what trainers are you wearing? (feddit.uk)

I've been wearing skate trainers for the last twenty odd years, and whilst they're usually super-comfy I think it's time I made the jump to something a little more ....dad-propriate.

Only issue is that I have no idea where to start with this stuff. I want a trainer, something that is comfortable and can be worn at the soft-play but also when I'm going to the supermarket.

Can you help a brother out?

Lyte III OG and GT-II’s are clutch. Since OP mentioned trainer, it got me thinking about my Nike Air Trainer 1’s which I’m really liking.

Honorable Mention: Asics Japan S is a nice pick for a neutral looking low profile in black or white. Think low dunks or Jordan’s without the Nike logo.

The Lyte III’s come in grey or tan/beige i believe. It’s a sexy profile for that color, which would be neutral and match everything. Don’t even need a lace swap on them. Perfect length.

I’d classify Asics Lyte III and GT II as comfortable walking shoes. Japan S and Nike’s Air Trainer 1’s are comfortable loitering shoes.
