I genuinely have no idea what you are talking about in most of that post Gaz.ValleyGary said: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.
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.

Low rent. Loakes or John Lobb, surely?McBobbin said:Church's? Barkers? Someone knows what they are talking about!
Edited to add: Just had a quick look at the John Lobb web site. They seem to call "trainers" by the name "casual sneakers". I wonder what the difference is? Oh, BTW, they are available for a nifty £465 of your folding.0 -

When I walk around London I'm constantly reminded of this video. God I'm an old git.

The trainers thing has come up on here before and I remember finding it equally baffling back then too. At first I thought it was a generation thing but my 60 something dad wears them (for comfort and ease - nothing to do with fashion) so it can't be. At the risk of sounding closed-minded, what do the trainer-haters wear when they're out and about and want to feel comfy and casual? Wellington boots? Walking shoes? I'm sure it was on here that someone once said 'trainers must be banned when watching Charlton'. Again, maybe it sounds like I can't think of more than about 5 different types of shoes, but genuine question - what do these people wear on their feet on a daily basis?2

Depends on the weather. If it's cold or wet, then Dr Martens, or something similar.
If it's very hot then sandals or if it's in between, Palladium Boots or Converse.0 -
Footwear changes over time as does fashion - I've been wearing trainers on and off since the 70s and am amazed that some on here still have an issue with them.
You'd have to be over 90 to have a real issue with them.0 -
Converse! My old mum use to make me wear "bumpers" because they were cheaper than Green Flash. Now they charge £50 extra because of the star on the side!!1

Surely it is just that originally trainers were sports trainers for actually doing sport in, but fashion evolves and now 90% of trainers are leisure wear rather than specifically made for enhancing sport.
Look at Uggs.
They were designed for sheep shearers or surfers to wear coming out of the water , not for going down the high street with jeans tucked into them.0 -

1) jeans with holes in (unless the ventilation helps more than I imagine)
2) Superdry0 - Sponsored links:

No problem with that but you know the scooters that I'm talking about, a real craze about 5 years ago.Riscardo said:

Wearing your jeans so low down you have difficulty walking. I know the original idea was to show off the brand name on the waistband of the designer underpants, but so what, you bought some expensive pants? Anyone who's impressed by that must have even less brain cells than you do.1

Wearing any type of glasses with either plain lenses or no lenses at all. It's like using a crutch or a wheelchair as a fashion accessory.Karim_myBagheri said:wearing black framed glasses with no actual lenses in them

Modern music. None of it will stand the test of time. It is just churned out to make quick profit.0

Got a couple of pairs of Jeffrey Wests myself. Proper rock and roll, and made in Northampton. Herring Shoes are worth looking for. They sell all the top UK brands, often at a discountRedskin said:
