Choosing a new pair of trainers online seems quick and easy. However, small differences in fit, materials and the sole can have a major impact on comfort. A model that looks great in product photos may be too narrow in practice, offer little grip or be difficult to keep clean.
The most common pitfalls are:
As well as checking the EU size, look at the information about the fit. A standard width is not the same as a wide fit. If in doubt, measure both feet at the end of the day and compare the longer foot with the product’s size chart.
Also consider the fastening:
Women’s trainers and men’s trainers can have the same model names yet fit differently. Always check the product page rather than relying solely on the general size designation.
The upper largely determines how a trainer feels and how easy it is to care for.
A material claim does not automatically mean that a shoe is suitable for rain, intensive running or prolonged use. Always check the product description, sole and care instructions.
Look at three components: the insole, the midsole and the outsole.
EVA foam, ENCAP and ABZORB are examples of constructions or technologies mentioned in product descriptions for cushioning. The precise feel varies depending on your foot, weight and the surface you walk or run on. Treat this as a product specification, not a guarantee of a particular walking or running experience.
For everyday use, these points are particularly relevant:
The selection below is based on verifiable details from the product descriptions, such as the materials, fastening, sole and stated use. The models are not all intended for the same activity.
Why it suits this profile: This children’s trainer has a hook-and-loop fastening and is designed for school, play and everyday use. That makes it a practical choice for children who want to put on their shoes independently.
The fastening avoids the hassle of loose laces. However, the combination of suede, synthetic material and mesh does require careful maintenance.
Lightweight EVA midsole, rubber tread outsole and a fastening that children can operate easily.
Why it suits this profile: The classic retro trainer works well with casual, sporty and streetwear outfits. This model is suitable for anyone who wants a recognisable design combined with technical sole features.
The description mentions more than just the appearance: it also specifies ENCAP in the midsole and a rubber outsole with grip.
Suede and mesh upper, ENCAP midsole and rubber outsole; the navy colour is easy to combine with different outfits.
Why it suits this profile: This unisex model is designed for running and use on different surfaces. The product information mentions mesh, EVA foam and a rubber ROCKYTEC outsole.
The intended use and surfaces are clearly described. However, check whether the standard or narrow version suits your foot.
Lightweight mesh and woven material, flexible EVA midsole and a tread outsole for road, trail and mixed surfaces.
Why it suits this profile: This low-top textile trainer is designed for everyday use and features a Memory Foam footbed, according to the product description. The stated size 37 runs large; the listing recommends ordering one size smaller.
The size warning makes it possible to check the fit in advance. This means you do not order blindly based on your usual shoe size.
Textile upper, padded lining, Memory Foam footbed and a PU sole of approximately 2 centimetres with a tread.
If you are looking for a different look, you could also consider a Nike Dunk Low with a leather upper and rubber pivot sole, Converse trainers made from canvas or Vans trainers with suede and rubber. For a distinctive retro style, New Balance U327 and U1906 models are options featuring mesh, synthetic sections and a striking sole profile.
Lacoste trainers often have a clean tennis-inspired style and are easy to pair with everyday clothing. Check the available size for each model, as the displayed stock may vary by version. For sporty everyday wear, models with mesh and cushioning are often the more logical choice; for a smart-casual outfit, leather, synthetic leather or canvas may be a better fit.
We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Your toes should be able to move without touching the front of the shoe. Your heel should remain reasonably in place while walking. Also check that the shoe does not pinch across the instep or at the sides. Try on both shoes while wearing the socks you normally wear.
Their lifespan depends on the distance you walk or run, how you use them, your body weight, the surface and how well you care for them. A pair worn every day will wear out more quickly than trainers used in rotation. Replace them when the sole is visibly smooth or unevenly worn, the cushioning clearly feels less effective or the upper no longer provides adequate support.
Not always. According to the product information, some children’s trainers can be washed on a cold, delicate cycle, while other models must only be cleaned by hand. Suede, mesh and bonded soles can be damaged by heat and movement. Always check the care advice first, remove the insole and laces where possible, and allow your trainers to air-dry.
