Tamaris Taupe Suede Retro Trainers — 1-23614-46

These taupe leather suede retro trainers from Tamaris are built for everyday wear — the kind of shoe you reach for on the school run, a Saturday in town, or a day trip when you want to look put-together without thinking about it. The rounded toe, white side stripe detailing, and yellow contrast laces give them a retro trainer silhouette with enough personality to carry an outfit, while the removable insole, comfort lining, and rubber sole keep them practical across a full day on your feet.

Key Features

• Taupe suede leather upper in a retro trainer silhouette — a neutral that works across most casual wardrobe colours without looking plain.
• Yellow contrast laces are the standout design detail, adding a flash of colour to an otherwise understated shoe.
• White side stripe detailing references classic trainer styling in a refined, low-key way.
• Removable insole allows the fit to be adjusted for a custom orthotic, or replaced for fresh comfort over time.
• Comfort-lined interior with a textile lining for all-day wearability.
• Rubber synthetic sole provides grip on varied surfaces and absorbs impact during longer walks.
• Rounded toe offers more room across the forefoot — suitable for wider feet and those with bunions.

Fit and Sizing

These trainers fit true to size and have a standard fit across the forefoot. The rounded toe gives a little more room than a pointed or almond toe style, which makes them a practical choice for wider feet or anyone managing bunions. Half sizes are not available — if you are between sizes, we recommend going up. The removable insole means you can also fit a custom orthotic if needed.

Best For

• Everyday walking and casual errands — shopping, coffee, the weekly routine
• The school run where you need a shoe that looks intentional but moves easily
• Day trips and sightseeing where you'll be on your feet for several hours
• Weekend wear with jeans or leggings as a step up from a basic runner
• Women who wear orthotics and need a trainer with a removable insole
• Wider feet or bunion-prone feet who want a relaxed toe box without sacrificing style

Styling Guidance

Taupe sits between beige and grey, which makes it one of the more versatile neutral trainers to build around — it softens all-black outfits, works naturally with earth tones, and doesn't compete with bolder clothing choices. The yellow laces are the styling ]conversation in this shoe: they pair unexpectedly well with denim, khaki, olive, and warm whites, and give you a hook to pull colour through the rest of your outfit if you want it. For a clean, low-effort look, wear with straight-leg jeans and a relaxed knit. For something slightly more considered, try with wide-leg linen trousers and a neutral tee in a similar earthy tone.

• Works well with: Straight-leg and wide-leg jeans, leggings, linen trousers, casual midi skirts
• Colour palette: Camel, olive, khaki, warm white, denim, charcoal, rust

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this trainer true to size? Yes, these fit true to size. Half sizes are not available, so if you are between sizes we recommend sizing up.

What is the sole height? The sole sits at 20mm — a low, flat profile that keeps you close to the ground without being completely flat, which suits most wearers looking for an everyday trainer rather than a platform style.

What is the upper made from? The upper is leather suede in a taupe colourway — it has the soft, matte texture of suede with the durability of a leather base.

Are they comfortable for a full day on your feet? Yes. The removable insole, comfort lining, and rubber sole make these well-suited to longer periods of walking — the school run, a day in town, or a day trip where you're covering ground.

Are these suitable for everyday casual wear? These are designed specifically for casual everyday use — they're not a performance trainer, but a lifestyle shoe built for real daily wear with a retro aesthetic.

Can I use my own orthotic insole in these? Yes. The insole is fully removable, so you can replace it with a custom orthotic or a standard comfort insole of your choice.
