I also used to wear trainers into London but then if I needed to run for the train I'd stand a chance of catching it, running with shoes and I look like I'm doing the goose-step really fast.12 -

Most scruff bags spend £100+ on their overpriced plimsoles and £25 in Primark on their "work shoes", and you can't re-sole trainers. Almost anyone who invests in a decent pair of Churches or Loakes wouldn't wish to be seen in a suit and trainers at anytime.IA said:

Grenson or Alfred Sargent and shoes should not be worn on consecutive days - need to be allowed to breathe for at least 24 hrs after use - and use decent cedar shoe trees and shoe cream, not wax polish.Algarveaddick said:

That way the shoes will last miles longer and justify the extra cost.
Thinking of walking the mile and a half to work to lose some weight and trainers were in my thoughts for this return-based journey - sounds like I need a re-think? I don't wear a suit, though - generally smart casual for our office.
Trainers with suits does look odd, imho - see an increasing number of women wearing trainers with business apparel, too.

I have said before, some wear high heels in the office for eight hours during the day, but have to put trainers on for the ten minute walk to the tube... Just wear a pair of flats.purdis said:

Protect their shoes? What, from the ground? What are their shoes made of, Rose petals? Rice paper? Stuff that melts on contact with asphalt?IA said:

It is indeed and at the rate my shoes fall apart I really should partake but you can't help but look like a knob so for now I'll continue to buy cheap shoes in the knowledge that they will fall apart fairly soon.IA said:

I'm exactly the same. Never have done it because it looks stupid. But it makes sense.The Organiser said:

If you're spending hundreds of pounds on work shoes to look good (I had to google the brands being named on this thread) and you have a long walk on concrete footpath, then I think it's logical to want to avoid wearing out the sole or getting street dirt in them. Especially on my walk to work as the footpath is uneven, presumably damages faster and I have to cross over muddy grass for a part. But I stick with cheap shoes, though a small step above Primark/Asda.1 -

I wear trainers with business casual attire as I walk to and from work which is a 1.5 mile walk each time. No way i'm going to do this wearing shoes or my feet will be coated in blisters, far more comfortable to wear for a long distance walk. Also keeps the shoes clean to wear in the office.RodneyCharltonTrotta said:Grown men wearing trainers with suits because their feet are too feeble to endure the 4 minute walk from the station to the office.

Drink what you like, you look like a little girl drinking alcopops though......1 -
If you were to buy decent shoes they would be adequate for walking to the office in. They don't have to be rifdiculously expensive. Up to £90? Have you tried Clarke's? A good pair will last you for a couple of years as long as you look after them.. If you wear those stupid things that come to a point about a foot beyond your toes then I suppose there is nothing more to say.MartinCAFC said:

Don't understand all this I walk a mile/mile and half/ do a triathlon on the way to work excuses. Your shoes shouldn't hurt your feet from walking in them.

Damn it, MrOL you are right. I used to walk miles in plimsolls. For two years the only shoes I had were a pair of donated paratrooper boots that were a size too large. Without socks. I walked all over London.MrOneLung said:

As soon as I started earning a wage I began buying proper walking shoes. Even if the arse was hanging out of my jeans, I was well shod.

No the shoes don't hurt when walking long distances I just find trainers far more comfortable and I can guarantee new shoes always means blisters for me.MrOneLung said:

Also to the poster above I usually spend about £50 on a pair of shoes. If I'm going to spend £90 on footwear I'd rather spend that on a nice comfortable pair of trainers than shoes which do just as good a job for £50.

But if you can't walk in them, they aren't doing their job. Sorry if I came across as patronising. My missus says I do that too. I have to explain to her at some length why that isn't the case, bless her.MartinCAFC said:
