A letter from a reader
My Daughter Asked When I Started Dressing This Cool. At 54, I'd Only Bought These Trainers for the Comfort
A cushioned footbed I can wear from the market to dinner, a breathable design for warm days, and a look that gets noticed.
I am not someone who writes letters like this, but I've worn these trainers almost every day since they arrived, and I keep being asked about them.
For years I wanted three things from a pair of everyday shoes. Comfortable enough to be on my feet all day. Not too hot once the weather warms up. And not that clumpy "comfort shoe" look that makes you feel ten years older.
The Briony trainers are that pair. Mine are the off-white. Here is everything I noticed about them: the four things that made me write this letter.
I found it through Scott & Daughters, and it's still available now at a New Chapter Sale price.
They Look Cool, Not Sensible
My daughter noticed before I did.
They're a low retro trainer with three stripes on the side and a warm gum sole, the kind of shoe you see on women half my age.
The first weekend I wore them with cropped jeans my daughter looked at my feet and asked since when I'd started dressing this cool. I'd bought them for the comfort.
Comfortable From Morning to Evening
A cushioned, contoured footbed.
Inside there's a cushioned, contoured footbed with orthopaedic support, made for wearing all day.
I did the Saturday market, a walk along the water and the grocery shop in one go, and my feet felt fine at the end of it.
Fresh Feet on Warm Days
A breathable design.
They're designed to breathe, so the air keeps moving around your feet.
On the first warm day of spring I wore them all afternoon and didn't come home with hot, tired feet.
Six Colours, Something for Everything
From off-white to leopard.
They come in off-white, black, wine red, khaki, brown and a leopard print. Lace-up, so you can set them as snug as you like.
I started with the off-white because it goes with everything. The leopard is next.
Everything I wanted in a trainer, together.
Where I found it, and the current price.
I found the Briony trainers through Scott & Daughters, a family boutique that Julie Scott has handed over to her daughters, Emily and Charlotte.
Right now it's part of their New Chapter Sale, priced at $69.95 AUD, reduced from $169.95 AUD. I don't know how long that price lasts.
