The Best Women’s Trainers Under £100

PUMA Speedcat Ballet (£70-£80)

Obsessed with the ballet trainer trend yet? If you don’t know, get to know. These cool girl staples are all about balancing sporty energy with soft, sleek styling – and PUMA understood the assignment with the PUMA Speedcat Ballet. With a slim silhouette and signature PUMA branding, this trainer brings all the best elements of ballet flats and remixes them with trainer-level cushioning and durability. No wonder it’s top of everyone’s wishlist.

You’re spoiled for choice when it comes to colourways: keep it classic in black or white, go bold in red or pink, or lean fully into the balletcore aesthetic with the light green colourway, complete with ribbon detailing. Want to bring a little edge to your daily ‘fits? The metallic grey and brown colourway with buckle detailing is the definition of effortless cool.

Styling your new Speedcats is a breeze. Pair them with a classic jeans-and-a-tee combo for office days, coffee runs, and Saturday brunch plans, or dress them up with a maxi skirt or tailored trousers paired with a fitted tank top.

ASICS GEL-1130 (£95)

Tap into retro running nostalgia with the ASICS GEL-1130. Rooted in early ’00s running DNA and remixed for modern rotations, this techy icon brings sport-chic energy to your everyday ‘fits. It’s the kind of trainer that works for gym sessions, pub garden evenings, and everything in between – all without missing a beat.

You can’t go wrong when it comes to GEL-1130 colourways. Go full Y2K with the grey and silver colourway, lean into the techy aesthetic with black and silver, or keep things neutral in off-white and brown. Whatever colourway you choose, these are your shortcut to bringing Y2K-coded style to any ‘fit with minimal effort.

The GEL-1130 is a perfect match for off-duty staples – think hoodie-and-jogger combos, gym ‘fits, and loose-fit trousers – but it also pairs effortlessly with wide-leg denim, tailored trousers, crisp-t-shirts, and staple knitwear for days with more on the cards.

adidas Breaknet Sleek (£65)

Clean, classic, and effortlessly cool – the adidas Breaknet Sleek is a fan favourite for very good reason. Teaming a slim, court-coded silhouette with iconic adidas branding and seriously stylish colourways, this one earns its stripes as the most affordable pick on our list.

We’re loving the matcha-coded white and green colourway as a spring-summer staple, while the beige cow print and metallic silver are perfect for adding extra interest to any ‘fit. Low-key? Statement? Somewhere in the middle? Sorted.

The best thing about the Breaknet Sleek? It pairs with pretty much everything in your wardrobe. Dress it up for the office with tailored trousers and a loose-fit shirt, or team it with a denim skirt and baby tee for an easy-going look that works for coffee dates, pub plans, and whatever else the group chat decides.

Nike V5 RNR (£80)

The Nike V5 RNR has entered the chat – and it’s bringing ‘00s vibes and modern Nike comfort with it. With an ultra-sporty silhouette, instantly recognisable Swoosh branding, and next-level support thanks to its chunky foam midsole, this is a trainer that never misses.

Colourways are where you can really have fun with the V5 RNR. Our current obsession? The effortlessly cool burgundy. We’re also loving the off-white pair with red and orange details, while the classic all-white colourway keeps things clean, easy, and ready for repeat wear.

Style your V5 RNRs with jorts – denim, cargo, or tailored – and white socks for instant style points, complete with a hoodie, loose-fit tee, or vest top depending on the vibe of your day. Their sporty silhouette also makes them a strong pick when the gym’s on the cards, pairing easily with joggers, shorts, or leggings. Throw on a hoodie after and you’ve got the post-workout brunch look locked in.

Vans Super Lowpro Collapse (£95)

We know that Vans knows how to make a classic – but the Vans Super Lowpro Collapse is the one we can’t stop thinking about right now. This just-landed trainer is sleek, feminine, and serving up a serious dose of ’80s nostalgia with a modern balletcore twist. Its low-profile silhouette takes style cues from the vintage Vans Serio Style 84, complete with a deconstructed, collapsible heel counter that keeps things ultra easy-going.

The pink and off-white colourways are perfect for bringing softer energy to any look, while the black keeps things sleek, simple, and endlessly easy to style.

Lock in those balletcore vibes by pairing your Super Lowpro Collapse pair with flowy fits and white, beige, or pale pink hues – plus bonus style points for satin, ribbon, and lace details. Prefer something more low-key? Add a softer edge to loose-fit jeans, trousers, or jorts with this sleek pair.

New Balance 740 (£100)

Ready to lock in your new wardrobe favourite? Look no further than our final pick: the iconic New Balance 740. A true 24/7 shoe, this running-inspired trainer is all about ‘00s energy, reliable comfort, and easy everyday styling. Its two-toned upper and signature ‘N’ branding meet an ultra-comfy ABZORB midsole and plush cushioning to create a trainer you’ll reach for on repeat.

The white, silver, and navy colourway is a go-to for its classic, ’00s-inspired vibes, while the blue and pink options bring the perfect pop of colour to your spring-summer rotation.

Styling your 740s? Literally a breeze. For Sunday park strolls with a matcha in hand, team them with a flowy midi skirt and crisp white baby tee. Heading to early morning Pilates? They look equally good with your favourite activewear. Got a non-stop day on the cards that ends with spontaneous dinner-and-drinks plans? Dress them up with wide-leg trousers or jeans and a fitted shirt.
