Product features

The product description reads: "Keep your casual looks sleek and sophisticated with these low-top trainers. The cupsole design features high, protective rubber sidewalls for optimal durability, and a classic lace-up fastening."

"An all-over pebble grain finish adds subtle texture to this minimalist style." The trainers are available in sizes three to eight, with the option of selecting half sizes.

Customer reviews

Customers have said they fit true to size. Marks and Spencer has noted that the trainers incorporate Insolia Flex, which enhances the comfort of flat shoes by maintaining correct foot positioning and improving "the natural rotational movement of the ball of the foot".

Numerous shoppers have posted positive reviews, with one stating: "Fabulous fitting trainers! Very modern looking and so comfy."

"Perfect as they come in half sizes 3.5 many of the M&S footwear do not have half sizes! These are perfect and I am sure I will get plenty of wear out of them."

Another customer remarked: "Very pleased with my purchase. I feel they were good value for money." A further shopper noted: "Very comfortable and smart, really good price."

A fourth stated: "Bought these to wear with dresses and skirts and they are really comfortable." Another revealed: "Immediately comfy, look good with dresses or jeans. So reasonable for the quality."

Mixed feedback

However, some customers have experienced issues with the comfort of the footwear. One warned: "Shoes look lovely but have absolutely no support. After an hour of wear my feet were in agony. I wouldn't recommend unless they are just for sitting in."

Another stated: "I need to wear white trainers for my hospitality job, and these are the most uncomfortable trainers I've ever worn."

A further buyer noted: "So displeased. So sore - zero padding on base. If you plan to stand up all day, get a better pair. Ouch."

Alternative options

Marks and Spencer isn't the only retailer stocking white trainers perfect for summer. Tu at Sainsbury's offers White Chunky Canvas Trainers for £15, available in sizes three to eight, which have been described as "comfortable and smart."

Meanwhile, Next stocks Friends Like These White Faux Leather Flatform Lace Up Casual Trainers for £24, available in sizes three to nine with either standard or wide fit options. Customers have described the trainers as "really comfy and good quality".
