Decades such as the 80s and 90s would turn up their nose at them and your Dad has probably asked why they hell you’re wearing his shoes. The Dad shoe was once the symbol of uncool, however, in the last year they have became the IT purchase throughout the Fashion seasons. IT girls from Bella Hadid to Kim Kardashian have been photographed wearing them. Here are 10 pairs of ugly trainers we love, from high street to high end.
The original ugly trainer; Balenciaga debuted the Triple S sneaker during Spring 2017 and since then other brands have followed in their foot steps, trying to create a more wanted version. The Triple S comes in many colour ways, with the colours being updated throughout the seasons. Although pricey, they are the original pair of ugly trainers making them hard to knock off the top spot!

A high street version of the trainer which sold out instantly when it was first released. Perhaps the most subtle of the “ugly” trainers on this list, but we guarantee it will still make a statement this season and for many seasons to come. At the small price of £39.99, who can resist this bargain?
Another high street version that was so popular in its original white colour way that it’s now stocked in 5 different colours! This Topshop number is perfect for everyday wear and can be styled with almost anything. A real winner in our book!
