New 'Walsh' Trainers
Yes, I recommend this
Absolute top quality, ever so slightly smaller fit than some of my other shoes and trainers but still very comfortable. In fact, subsequently ordered the larger size too and only after trying both decided that the smaller were better! THIS is the sort of quality that M&S should always have on offer in every department! (...and actually physically in a store too - very difficult to find, but no problem ordering online)

Walsh brand for best of british
Yes, I recommend this
Bought in sale. Like these cos they are actually a very good , very British brand ...Walsh. I Like to buy British brands and especially as they are good quality and not so mass produced. They are actually very good running shoes but fall into the trend for 80s style running shoes. They do come up a bit small but that might be personal.

Stylish trainers
Yes, I recommend this
Lovely trainers in grey so goes well with most daily wear - leggings, skinny jeans. Definitely size down though, I went for a size 6 as I'm usually a 6.5/7. Quality very nice and good to know they're made in Britain. Only negative is that they're quite expensive but I don't buy trainers normally so wanted a decent pair I could keep for years (!)
