A second wrote: “These trainers are very comfortable and stylish. I have only had them a few days and have walked a distance in them and so far no sore feet, which is a bonus. Every time I have worn these trainers, someone has admired them.”
A third shopper: “Great trainers, very different, in terms of colour. They have an expensive look, they are on the heavier side, but comfy to wear.”
Another added: “Really fell for these but had to order online as they were not available in store. They arrived in good time and fit beautifully. I have quite wide feet and was worried that they might be too narrow, but they're great and look very smart.”
However, some shoppers were less impressed. One person said: “Nice trainer, not very cushioned, size 6 true to size, may be coming apart at sides where foot bends but only worn twice.”
A second wrote: “Looks good. Love the colour. The holes for the laces are just cut in the fabric. No reinforcement so they are not going to last long sadly.”
