There’s nothing quite like a good pair of trainers, and the right ones should be comfortable, stylish, and versatile enough to go with just about anything from mini dresses and shorts in the summer to midi dresses and jeans in the winter. One trainer brand that’s been on everyones wishlists is Veja, after Kate Middleton has been routinely spotted in a pair of its Esplar Trainers, £120 here, on several different occasions.
Although the Esplars have become one of the brand’s best-loved styles thanks to their royal connection, there are plenty of other styles that have proven to be popular with shoppers, including its Rio Branco design, £125 here. Although Boxing Day and pre-January sales are in full swing right now, it seems that the Veja Rio Brancos aren’t discounted anywhere at the moment, but if you’ve been hoping to get your hands on a similar style, M&S might have just what you’re looking for.
The Side Detail Trainers, £35 here, have a very similar look to Veja’s Rio Brancos, with a sloping, slightly pointed toe, contrasting graphic details on the side and a vintage-inspired running style design. They also have a secure lace-up fastening, and M&S’ signature Insoilia Flex technology which helps keep your foot placed correctly inside the shoe to make sure you stay comfortable all day long.
They even have antibacterial padding that helps keep them smelling fresher for longer.
Shoppers have been thrilled with the Side Detail Trainers, £35 here, with the pair racking up an impressive 4.6 out of 5 star rating. “Really nice trainers.
Comfortable but smart. Good price too,” said one review, whilst another added: “M&S trainers are true to size and fit perfectly and are so comfortable to wear, love them so much I bought a second
