As the fashion world decides that its time to hang up your six inch ankle twisters and trade them in for a lighter and brighter shoe it seems that everyone from top fashion bloggers to the high fashion runway shows are trotting along to their nearest sports store in the hunt for the new 'IT' shoe. The trainer. ( or plimsole or lace up pump... you get the idea) 
Chanel's recent runway shows have completely abandoned high heels and opted for a more sleeker and practical trainer! I can imagine the models would have been jumping for joy!

But don't be fooled, this 'trend' has been around for a very long time, to be honest it wasn't even a trend it was a way of thanking your feet for the endless amounts of pressure you have put on them to look perfectly squished in those tiny little stilettos you call 'the perfect heels'. Not so perfect when your left with bunions though right? (too much information?)

Anyway before I baffle on I am all for the trainers and I am happy that there are more of them around, it just goes to show that sports wear can be 'chic' and its not just for parading around the gym acting like your working out when really you just want everyone to check out your new custom made Nikes.

Here are my favourite picks and personal choices!

ASOS.com are known for their affordable wardrobe choices and is the perfect online shop to replicate current runway styles and trends.

ASOS DANDY £40

Tough but still cute, these ASOS DANDY trainers have the comfort x style x sports luxe x yourfeetwillfeelfabulousforhours factor!

ASOS DOCKLAND plimsoles £18

 If your not keen on trainers you can opt for the easy slip on plimsole which I am a huge fan of. Colourful enough to brighten up these random british weather conditions and comfortable enough for you to parade around the town in!

Pull&Bear printed plimsoles @ ASOS.com £ 29.99

Not feeling tropical? ASOS have plenty of bright patterns and prints to choose from including these electrifying beauties from Pull&Bear.

Nike sky high dunk @ ASOS.com £90

Need a lift? These Nike wedges will certainly do that! with a concealed wedged heel you can still pull off that sporty look with a little feminine touch (and added height)...

Nike Airmax Thea @ ASOS.COM £80

I have been seeing a lot of these lately and they are starting to grow on me, with the wide range of colour choices you'll never get bored of creating your own personal styles.

My personal favourites? I am loving the plimsoles. Practical, comfortable and versatile and with so many shops including ZARA, H&M and Topshop flaunting their own styles its hard not to find the perfect plimsole.

ZARA  £6.99

These were a recent purchase as I wanted an unusual print. Im not sure if that is a cat design on the front but I love the colours and the stained glass print along with the leather trim to finish it off. The best part? They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn! best sale buy so far! 

H&M £25

At first I thought that these seemed a little expensive for a standard plimsole compared to other stores who were selling them for £15 - £18 but the picture doesn't really do them any justice. The material of the shoes and the structure make up for the price and they are not flimsy or loose at all which is great as they are hardwearing and will last! 

Hopefully I have converted some of you heel addicts, give your feet a rest and enjoy!
