    Grown men walking around in trainers, Adidas or otherwise...

    what ???? I would have thought that most men under the age of 70 wear trainers. What do you expect us to wear......clogs ???

    I have to say that I hate seeing trainers worn with a suit. Even Sir Macca can't get away with it - just weird.
    Casual shoes, as opposed to buying footwear exclusively at JD.

    not sure what you mean by "casual" shoes. In my world there are formal shoes(work ones - mainly black but as above can be brown), trainers (which does not include running shoes) or boots (ankle or calf length - ie, 6-8 eyelets or even the classic 10 hole DM's).

    Getting through two pair of adidas trainers in four months and getting told "it's normal wear and tear"

    Know what you mean, they say you should change your trainers after 300 miles if you are running in them.

    Really, two months on average is probably about right then?

    But your world is a bit different than ours Golfie.

    None of my mates wear trainers, unless undertaking sporting activities.
  • Trolls.

    agreed, just let me walk under the bridge in peace.
    I thought trolls didn't like people crossing their bridges?

    You'd be too fucking knackered to change your trainers after running 300 miles.

    Or possibly the law that requires them to do this?

    Surely more. If you're a serious runner that's nothing. 10 weeks at most.

    That's my argument with them, I'm now needing my fourth pair since October and I'm only walking!

    My ASICS Gel Foundations last at least 6 months when I run. I then retire them to slippers or gardening shoes and they last ages more.The ASICS site say their shoes are good for up to 550 miles.
    Change your brand.

    3 weeks for my mate as an ultra runner he averages 100 mile weeks in off season and 150 -200 mid season.

    I average about 25-30 miles a week so 10-12 weeks is about right.

    I can make a pair last years.
  • Entirely depends on the trainer. Adidas samba, gazelle and courtstar are on point, as are Nike air force 1 and Air max 90 to be worn with jeans. I'll stick a pair of boots on generally when it gets colder either brogue or Chelsea and shoes are reserved for wearing with expensive jeans and going out or with formal clothing.

    I will say people who run or cycle into work should only be allowed to do so if wearing the proper gear and have access to a shower at work. personally I think it's totally impractical as you either shit up a suit or formal workwear and then have to arse about getting changed and showered into said workwear after it's been carried in the same bag used for essentially gym clothes.

    Overall I'd say poor manners annoy me far more than anyone's choice of footwear unless the footwear smells

    Even if many of us find trainers more comfortable to wear than shoes? We should just stop and switch to less comfortable shoes at a given age?

    You could make the same case for onesies.
  • Nowt wrong with brown shoes
  • people wearing brown shoes to work, was sat in the reception of a clients office waiting to go into a meeting and at one point there were 7 gentlemen including myself, 4 wearing brown shoes (and one twat wearing running shoes)

    Why are you wearing running shoes to a client meeting?
    Perhaps he's running late.

    I wasn't even the one who made the original post! Just pointing out that there are shoes beyond smart shoes and trainers!
