Train your mind to let your feet remain comfy...sometimes

Now recently, i have started becoming obsessed with trainers. I feel if worn with the correct things, they can look really nice, yet you remain completely comfortable.So recently i had a little look around for a comfy shoe, that still was quite fashionable. Instantly my mind said trainers. So i had a little gander round my hometowns shops. Which were bleak. So i reverted to online, and found converses, which i had long forgotten about. I used to wear these beautiful creation back when i was about twelve, when the whole of the united kingdom went crazy about them.  I instantly found a supplier and went and bought myself a shining white pair. In hindsight yes this was a very idiotic idea of mine. But i purchased with the thought that they'd go with everything. Which they did, but they also attracted a lot of black markings and dust. Honestly though i couldn't care less if they're dirty. With them being so comfortable and versatile i wear them with everything; leggings, dresses, shorts, the list is endless. I work in a kids clothing and shoe shop, the one staple item in my uniform is my converse.

The other fabulous thing about converse is that they're a canvas shoe, which means, with a little helping of clarks shoe shampoo, you can pop em straight into the washing machine and then when they come out, they pretty much look brand new. Which certainly helped me out when i spilt a nice refreshing pint of cider and blackcurrant all over them. Yes you heard me a bright purple drink all over my white converse. But no word of a lie, they are no longer pink after their little spa treatment.

In future though i shall remember that white maybe isnt the best colour.

So after realising the insane comfort of trainers, i shall be purchasing a few more in the next coming months, but which ones to go for you ask... here are my top five, in no particular order.

I have been lusting over nikes, low blazers for god knows how long. Today i may have found the ones. Now i know purple may not go with everyting, but i've never been one for shying away from clashing colours.


Then there are the beautiful adidas. The 'top ten hi sleek lil bow' The bow on these adds a touch of feminity on a high top that is normally deemed quite manly. I do feel though, many high tops look feminine with a floaty dress or pretty patterned leggings. Okay so they may not be everyones cup of tea, but i like 'em.

Then i need these in my life. The adidas gazelle, they look delish in grey. Again i know that the colour may not be ideal, what with our english summer, consisting of rain. But i feel that with some colourful leggings, they'd look mint. So another pair are added to the wishlist.

Then superga. Since working in the kids shop, my horizon on the shoefront has been widened and i have opened up to more brands recently, superga being one of them. And since finding out they are one of alexa chungs favourites they have appealed to me even more.The classic 2750 is my ultimate superga. Its so plain yet so different to other trainers i have my eyes on. The colours that i love most are; Ottanio, Ultramarine, Blue Caribe and Island Green.

Then my last trainer i am forever lusting over is... the puma suede classic ensign. The colour of these is gorgeous and i want them in my life.

Enough about trainers im off to look at jeffrey campbell shoes and cry into my pillow about how much i need them in my life.
