I enjoy both the Addict and Stadium. I stand most of my working day and love the comfort of them both. I hear great things about the Quicker design as well. I’m waiting to get back in the store to have a feel of those. Happy shopping and I hope this helps.
Thanks - it's nice to know that you find them comfortable for an extended period of time!

Hi tpfers! can I please seek some advice from Hermès sneaker owners? I went to the store to try on the Voltage or Quicker today but when I tried them on the sides hurt my ankle ...I think the sides were too high it just hit my ankle...or maybe my ankle sticks out too much. I tried the trail on instead and it was more comfortable but the tongue hit the front of my feet a bit lol. My SA said the quicker/voltage will soften overtime but even just walking around the store I felt like I prob can’t wear it for an entire day...I feel like some has had this problem while others find them very comfortable. Does anyone have the same issue but managed to beak them down? I like the plain white look of the quicker and voltage more. The trail isn’t my first pick in terms of look but it is also quite cute and comfy. But I think trail looks better in silver than while. Has anyone tried paring trail with skirts? Thanks in advance for your help!

The Quicker and Voltage are definitely more "stiff" but should soften over time. However, if it hurts your ankle right away, I would probably stay away from the style as it might just bother you too much before you are even able to stretch them out. I've seen the Trail paired with skirts and they are quite nice, but you should probably try it to be sure as the style is clunkier than Quicker and Voltage. Have you tried the Addict or Bouncing? The material is a lot softer.

I have the same issue but with the Avantage sneakers. Love the look but they are very uncomfortable at the ankles. I’m debating buying a small heel insert to slightly lift my ankle bone above the sneaker edge since I’ve already bought them and worn them a few times tying to break them in, with no success. My fav H sneakers for comfort are the Trail sneakers, but not in the full calfskin leather colorways as I think that’s part of the problem. The pair I have are calfskin and suede which feels much more pliable to my foot shape. I can wear the Trails for a full weekend getaway and be perfectly comfortable.

OMG same!!! I just finally broke down and sold my Avantage sneakers - they hurt my feet and never broke in. I tried to convince myself they would soften and they never did. If they don’t feel amazing, don’t buy. I’m never making that mistake again.
 
Thanks Bagoholic222 and acrowcounted teecee77 for your comments! I didn't try the Addict or Bouncing as I didn't want a cloth/canvas material but they def looked a lot more comfortable. The trail is def the most comfy but I am debating about the clunkier look...im thinking maybe get the silver instead of white in these...but that means ill need to go find another white sneaker lol

I thought I was the only one that had this unfortunate issue with the edges being uncomfortable. I was pretty bummed cuz thought it was really cute but i think it would be hard to break in...i cant imagine my ankle bone being strong enough to soften the edges lol. Acrowcounted pls Let me know what the heel insert goes...and agree with you all on not buying something that isn't comfortable...and especially for sneakers too.

Now i just need to find some more pics of people wearing the Trail haha. Will keep you posted on what i get if i do! thanks all :heart: you always have answers to my questions!
