FatFace 'retro' trainers with £28 off praised by shoppers

FatFace's summer sale has arrived, featuring the Gola Green Hawk 83 Trainers, now priced at £57, down from £85. Shoppers have praised the 'retro' design, which includes a neutral palette with a green accent, suitable for autumn styling.

Design and Features

The trainers, available in sizes 3-8, combine leather, suede, and mesh with a cushioned lining for comfort. Their low-profile fit, rubber cup sole, and lace-up design add a vintage touch to outfits.

One reviewer, aged 65+, commented: "Super 70s vibe trainers. So pleased with these trainers they remind me of 70's style. Quality, well made with a cushioned sole. Love the laces. I'd say a generous fit width wise as I have wide feet and they are ok for me."

Care Considerations

While the trainers have no negative reviews, the delicate suede material may require extra care. To maintain them, it's advisable to wear them on dry days and avoid scuffing or wet and greasy surfaces.

Other Sale Highlights

FatFace also offers the Green Elan Trainers, reduced from £90 to £59, featuring a light green hue and breathable material. These have a five-star rating, with one shopper noting: "I took my new trainers on holiday to Lisbon. Lots of walking and lots of hills. They were very comfortable."

Another reviewer added: "Perfect for everyday or dressy with a dress. True to size, so comfy and have in blue and green! Great trainer!" A third said: "Comfortable and colourful trainers. I love them." A fourth mentioned: "Great looking trainers. Definitely a retro vibe from them. Very comfortable to wear and I'd say they're true to size."

For a neutral alternative, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial trainers in cream and brown start from £69.99 at ASOS, featuring a low-profile design and gum sole.

In the sale, the Jasmine Ivory Sparkle Tie Front Knitted Cardigan is now £30 (was £58). One reviewer said: "Spotted this little beauty pre sale but bought at bargain price. A staple now in my wardrobe. Love it."

Additionally, Marks & Spencer's Crew Neck Cardigan With Wool costs £28, available in oatmeal or dark aubergine, ideal for a capsule wardrobe.
