Time was, trainers were for the sports field, hikers, children a few people who followed retro style fashions and that was about it. Any style-savvy individual would not have been caught dead wearing trainers to a social event and certainly not a dressed up one. All that has changed now and our feet are thanking us for it! Perhaps one of the key reasons is that trainers offer both style and comfort in one single shoe. Given how busy people’s lives are these days with all the running about, it’s almost become necessary to have a little comfort, particularly in the footwear area.
But let’s not forget, there are certain standards you can still uphold if you are fashion conscious and designer trainers are more appealing to satisfy this need. Of course, anything designer can get a little pricey but you can always hunt out a designer trainers women’s sale and save yourself a few pounds off the purchase price. Let’s take a look at just why trainers are so popular these days:
Style
Designers have started taking a real interest in all manner of trainers and you will even find them on catwalks. That means that you can have a ridiculously cool pair from a designer you love, in a style that not many people will have. They will look fantastic thanks to the actual design of them (after all, this is what the big brads are known for) and will be recognisable to those in the fashion-know.
Comfort
There are few pieces of footwear more comfortable that trainers. They have soft and bendy soles and supple uppers, are often cushioned throughout, are wide enough to not crush your feet and most of all, don’t have a heel on! This means you can wear them all day and be on your feet a lot and you won’t end up in agony. For today’s lifestyles of constantly rushing about this makes them perfect. It also makes them perfect for events such as concerts or festivals, shopping trips and so on, that necessitate you being on your feet and walking about a lot.
Durability
Trainers are usually very well-made, particularly when you buy a designer brand so they will stand the test of time even with repeated wearing. If you take care of them, clean them and generally look after them, you will find you will still be putting them on in years to come and they will not look old-fashioned or unstylish either.
Versatility
As previously stated, trainers used to be consigned to athletic pursuits almost exclusively. Then they were acceptable with jeans and casual clothes. Now, you will find many people wearing them with really dressy outfits such as skirts, dresses and even suits. If you take care to choose the right pair with your outfit, you will find that they can go with pretty much anything, meaning you will look really stylish and you’ll have happy feet!
Trainers are an investment you should be making sooner rather than later and with designer ones on sale regularly, you don’t have to pay more than you can afford either!
