slim sole trainers

The real slim trainer trend has just stood up

Did you hear that slim trainers are 100% in right now? We've got a unique collection of styles to see you right on one of 2025's biggest footwear fashion trends - don’t miss out. 

From Alohas to Gola, New Balance to Vans, this edit of slim trainers has a style for everyone. 

We want everyone to find the perfect pair of shoes for them. So, what's your vibe? Are you a fashion trends enthusiast who simply cannot live without one of 2025's hottest styles? Maybe you want to level up your shoe game with a style that's sleek and understated, or you’re just looking for a simple but stylish new pair for everyday wear. Whatever your preference, we’ve got you.

But, what is a slim trainer?

The general rule of thumb (or toe) is that a slim trainer has a sole of 3mm or less, meaning you'll be closer to the ground than you would be in a pair of chunky trainers. That means when you're styling them, you need to consider the ‘fit - i.e. what jeans to wear! But, not to worry, as we've got all your styling questions answered on our blog. 

Flatter and more grounded also means more stability - and that's certainly something you can expect in slim trainers. Opinions are divided on whether they’re less comfortable than their thick counterparts but, all we know is we absolutely love them!

Find the perfect fit with the latest of our footwear fashion trends 

Styles featured in our edit include the motorsport inspired Speedcat from PUMA - a low profile trainer that walked straight off the track at Monza onto the catwalk in Milan. 

The slim trainer is the ultimate throwback when it comes to brands, too. Think early 00s reimagined for 2025: we’ve got classics from Gola like the Elan and Harrier, and the iconic 471 from everyone’s favourite, New Balance. 

The slim shoe is an elevated yet casual style that's found its place in every sphere,  from the fashion shows to the general zeitgeist. 

Our range features men's and women's trainers in canvas, leather, suede, and more. Whatever brand, whatever brand collection, whatever colour, you're sure to find your next pair right here at schuh.  − Read less
