    Which shoe would you pick for wearing with dresses/skirts? Need to invest in a pair of white trainers (feet dont take to well to Pennys trainers) for outfits. I see Lifestyle are heavily advertising the Sleeks at the moment. But not sure which are nicer in appearance in comfort wise?

    I'd probably go for the Sleek. I do love my Stan Smiths but they can be a little bit chunky. I recently got a pair of Adidas Continental, they'd be more in line with the sleek, and I think they look well with dresses/skirts. Comfort wise I think the brand is pretty solid across the board, have never had an issue with the different styles.

    I have Adidas Gazelles (in pink) which I wear wtih skirts and dresses, and a brand new pair of Stan Smiths (white) that just arrived from Asos.

    My issue with Adidas (and why I might send back the Stan Smiths) is that I find the back of them comes up quite high and cuts the back of my ankles if I wear them for too long. Consequently I only wear my Gazelles if I know I won't have to walk far. They look great but its a serious draw back.

    From a quick google the sleeks appear to have a slightly lower back, so that would swing it for me. Am trying to make a judgement on the Stan Smiths as I don't want to keep another paid of problematic trainers!
