Shoe Porn: Aldo Sequin Trainers


This might come as a shock to some (it won't), but I'm not really a trainers kind of girl. I have a pair of Converse for running around in, but that's it. I live in flat shoes these days, thanks to a pesky foot injury, but trainers don't get a look in. If I can't wear high heels, I want the flats on my feet to be the prettiest they can be.

I think someone at Aldo heard my pleas. Usually, sequins on shoes make me shudder. We are not at a 90s wedding. Then Aldo's designers came along with their sequin trainers and mixed them up with zips and surprisingly muted colours, and I'm excited. I really like these. It's not easy to avoid the whole jazz hands and tap shoes thing with sequins, but they've done exactly that. These won't look like you've nicked a pair of trainers from your niece.


They're £50 and I think I'm going to have to fight Sara for them. I reckon the gold pair are a little prettier, but the dark grey of the second pair is winning me over. Which do you like best?

  1. Sian, I want BOTH pairs. They're a good "day" sequin.

    1. The grey ones are a little bit 'oooh, I wasn't going to go out but now I'm dancing all night in an Indie club'. That's my favourite type of shoe.

    2. You can't wear heels, and I can't wear flat shoes. Our feet are broken in opposite ways. I might need to try these on though.

    1. Gold for me, please. They remind me of my gold pf flyers which I've grown to love.
