Don't do it Hardy! Get a pair of nice smart Churches or Loakes instead.

white reebok classics, no pub in welling, sidcup bheath or dartford would turn you away wearing such a fine piece of clobber..

Got the Churches. Not sure what to do with all this info! Perhaps i should dust down my 20 year old Pumas from the loft and use those if "retro".

Someone mentioned Merrells. Are they a good option?

PS Algarve - was staying at the Sheraton Pine Cliffs last week. Near you??

Only pure white Reebok classics, nothing with large logos or coloured stripes or flashes allowed.

Chunes

Get yourself some bright pink and lime green Nike 6.0s and she'll never comment on your attire again.

Rothko

These are the NB I'm sporting

Friend Or Defoe

Get a pair of Lonsdales, yeah people will know they only cost £15 but does that really bother you?

Adidas are the nuts! :0)

Vinnie V.

Dunlop Green flash are the way forward. Cool and inexpensive.

[cite]Posted By: Henry Irving[/cite]So true. In fact any white trainers or at any age

Campers work for older discerning man.

Cool, comfortable and prohibitively expensive so you never see them being sold for £15 in Sports Direct.

Dude do these come with calipers or do you have to buy them separately? ;-)

Anyway my choice would be Adidas Gazzelles (just bought myself a ginger suade pair today, fecking awesome!) have a blue suade pair of originals, awesome. Also as Les Says says Adidas Forest hills (white yellow and gold amazing trainers my fave i love mine) but any colour of these original trainer. Also Diadora Borg Elite gold if poss, but my blue stripe are an absolute masterpiece too!! Oh lord i love this thread.

Gola in black.

Very retro, and classic. Mine are ancient - once scored ten goals in them in a training match, and I'm cr@p. Had a soft spot for them ever since.

Yes Hardy, just up the road -we are in Albufeira. I could have shown you what decent footwear looks like too if you had known... :-D

Personally have always though open sandals were the in thing for day wear!
Plimsolls, ideal for sporting activities!
And Flip Flops set off a dinner suit a treat!

I wear North Face walking shoes all the time. Look like trainers and are very comfortable.

Do one ;0 ) I'm almost 50 and I don't care what they look like. Comfort is everything

Wearing some blue Kappa's, which remind me of the pumps I used to wear in the 70's. Discriminating daughter has not dissed them yet, so they must be okay. (Have to wear them with some decent Levi's or Ralph Lauren. It's the whole look you know, not just the shoe.) If in doubt, get her to decide.
