You still want to wear trainers. You just don't want to look like you're heading to the gym. The Mercer Runner is soft suede, shaped like the trainers people wore before trainers got loud. Put them on and everything you own finally makes sense.

• Suede so soft there's nothing to break in
• Black, sand or olive — none of them shout
• Gum sole that grips wet pavement
• Padded collar that won't rub your ankle

Fit: True to size.
