M&S Trainers Win Over Shoppers
Marks & Spencer has a hit on its hands with the Leather Side Detail Trainers, priced at £49.50 and currently listed as 'in demand' and 'popular' on the retailer's website. The trainers are described by customers as 'lightweight, comfortable and stylish', and are available in four colourways: beige mix, black mix, brown, and bayleaf (a khaki and pink combination). However, sizes are selling fast, with the brown option only available in sizes 4 and 8 online at the time of writing.
Availability and Features
Most sizes from 3 to 8, including half sizes, are still in stock for the beige and black mixes, while the bayleaf colourway has limited sizes (4.5, 5.5, 6, 6.5). The trainers feature a practical lace-up fastening and leather material that offers 'durability with a touch of sophistication', according to the product description. With a 4.7-star rating on the M&S website, they are clearly resonating with customers.
Customer Reviews Highlight Comfort and Style
Shoppers have been quick to share their experiences. Lex said: 'Bought to wear at work so needed something smart but above all comfortable when I’m on my feet all day. These passed the test with flying colours and have bought them in black too.' Another customer wrote: 'Very comfortable and stylish. I like the detail on them, and the soles grip well and look funky, slightly angular. Could wear with skirt or trousers.'
HK commented: 'I love these trainers so much I’m on my second pair. They are lightweight, comfortable and stylish. I’ve worn the first pair (they come up great on a 30 degree wash) to death so had to buy again. I’ve had so many comments about how good they look and they go well with lots of my summer outfits.'
Evie added: 'Great neutral colour, goes with everything. Very comfy and I’m picky about trainers due to very painful plantar fasciitis. Love these.' However, Jenny noted a potential drawback: 'Great trainers but slippery on a wet or icy surface.' Another enthusiastic shopper said: 'Love love love! Love these so much I bought three pairs - one cream, and two black. Comfy, versatile, chic but dressy. Highly recommend, five star.'
Alternative Options
For those considering other choices, the New Balance 327 Shoes are priced at £110, available in black with moonbeam or moonbeam with classic burgundy, with a moonbeam and outerspace option reduced to £77. A more budget-friendly alternative is New Look's Faux Suede Side Stripe Sporty Trainers at £29.99, available in black, stone, brown, and light pink. But with such high praise, the M&S Leather Side Detail Trainers are clearly a strong contender for anyone seeking a versatile, comfortable, and stylish everyday trainer.
