They are the most popular by far, but I much prefer the Ipanema.cafcfan said:

I used to be very comfortable in my Skoda, but it wasn't a Rolls Royce, was it? Then again, it was a Skoda Favourite, so I suppose that's the Rolls Royce of Skodas.ElfsborgAddick said:
No, but my plates are very comfortable in them!Stig said:
'the Rolls Royce of flip flops'. Ffs whatever next - The Rolls Royce of paper clips? The Rolls Royce of Custard creams? The Rolls Royce of tap water? Whatever the make, they are still shitty little bits of plastic to keep sand and stones off your feet. Rolls Royce my arse. Ever get the feeling you've been had?ElfsborgAddick said:

Trainers? People find TRAINERS a strange fashion trend?!!!!!!!
This forum gets weirder by the day.8 -
Ankle grazer trousers
Long line tshirts
'Boyfriend' jeans on girls that come in womens sizes
High neck bikinis
Flatform shoes
Creepers
Drop crotch tacksuit bottoms
Nike huaraches
Wearing running trainers with jeans0 -
Any sportswear worn by anyone who has never done any sport in their whole f*cking life.0
-
As someone with weedy, thin arms, I've never been happy with the idea of t-shirts, polo shirts, etc with minimalist sleeves. They are called half-sleeves for a reason, I don't want them ending up round my armpits.0

I suppose some people would find boxing gloves acceptable if 50% of the population wore them all time?ValleyGary said:Trainers? People find TRAINERS a strange fashion trend?!!!!!!!

Lazy bra choices by women.
Wearing a strapless top? Then wear a strapless bra
Wearing a halter next top? Then wear a halter neck bra.
Got a big cut out on the back of your top? Then wear a backless bra.
Don't just wear your normal bra and make do.2 - Sponsored links:

Training shoes - the clue is in the name Gaz. Were they called Pubbing shoes, cinema shoes, wandering-around-Asda or going-to-the-football shoes, fine. They are designed for training, hence the name "Training shoes" or "Trainers" for short. If I wandered along the beach in a pair of Churches Brogues, or ran the 200m in a pair of Barkers Chelsea boots, you would rightly think of me as some kind of buffoon. See the picture of the slightly ridiculous oriental lady wearing inappropriate footwear as an example.ValleyGary said:

Just because a sizable chunk of people think it's acceptable, doesn't stop it being strange...

What a strangely simplistic view of something. You have running trainers, gym trainers, AstroTurf trainers....and even.....leisure trainers.
You wouldn't wear a pair of AstroTurfs with jeans, but you'd wear a pair of Air Max or whatever, as they are built for comfort if you are doing something of leisure, like standing watching football for example.
I know it's seen as cool to not follow the masses, but if you think wearing trainers outside of exercise in strange then you're trying to hard.6 -

Actually - EDIT - "Leisure trainers"? Surely an oxymoron?
I am being slightly tongue in cheek as well, by the way.

While i share your view about men wearing nice shoes (i do) leisure trainers do have a place in every mans wardrobe. It is a fact that they are more comfortable for knocking about it.
Most Nike, addidas trainers ar not made for the rigours of proper training.1 -
Church's? Barkers? Someone knows what they are talking about!0

I have a pair of Marks & Spencer deck shoes for that very purpose BB. After all, the grey winkles pickers do not a good look make, when paired with shorts...Baldybonce said:

I suppose the point I am making is, why not call them something other than trainers? It's like that dirge music they call R n B, there's already R n B out there, and it's far superior. Why not just come up with another name if it isn't the same as the original thing?0

Like I said Gaz, I was being a bit tongue in cheek anyway, but no, they don't float my boat as a "style" when worn with jeans or trousers. I get it with shorts. It doesn't offend me, just not for me. And yes, if they are absolutely not suitable for training in, purely for going down the pub etc, then yes, why not find a new term for them?ValleyGary said:

After all when they first became leisure wear they were actual trainers, they didn't hit the ground running (pun intended) as something to go shopping in. I used to wear them all the time outside school between the age of about nine and thirteen (Mitre, Bukta or Dunlop, none of this fancy French or German shit in those days... Well okay, maybe Puma too.) - long before they were leisure wear - because I spent 99% of the time playing football or cricket, or messing about in the woods. You had them, your School shoes, and your best shoes (which normally became your school shoes after the wedding your Mum bought them for). By the time trainers became fashionable I was past that.0 -

Just because a sizable chunk of people think it's acceptable, doesn't stop it being strange...
Firstly I've already said I don't get them in the first place, other than for sports but secondly I don't think I've ever seen a pair, that I thought, I must have them because they actually look nice, rather than necessarily fashionable.
For the most part those that I have seen, are over the top and quite ugly in my view but of course each to his own.
Interestingly, if I take Algarves point about winkle pickers and shorts not being a good look. It has become perfectly acceptable to wear Dr Martens and shorts, which I've been known to wear myself.1 -
