I’ve spent a small portion of my life/earnings on that page 😬 Had a quick look. Are ‘Gola ‘ popular trainers now? I am sure you used to get them in Woolies.

thplinth Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 New Balance. They have excellent sizes for the bigger foot and they do a lot of them in wide and extra wide which is very rare. I am currently wearing their 608’s extra wide. Comfy shoes if you have big feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look absolutely horrific, I’d rather wear Nike 🤪 Which in that note, I fucking hate it when the kids ask for Nike trainers, thankfully, the youngest now wants to wear ones that folk at football wear, which doesn’t always work either. 2 christmases ago, he got a pair of red Trimm Trab, within 5 minutes, he was in the back garden kicking a ball into his new goals with them on 🙈😡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not obvious from looking at them (hence the purchase) but the band of blue stripes running diagonally up left to right in the middle of the shoe are actually these bizarre plastic flaps that the laces mesh through. It was the weirdest thing I have ever seen on a trainer, they did nothing other than make them hideous. People even told me they were hideous. I cut it the flaps off with the kitchen scissors eventually. Comfy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New balance easiest the best for wide feet - i use 2e , but is a 4e also wish i known this years back get most of mine in north america but have ordered a pair here too Keen do decent wide shoes too - seemingly even their standard are wide-ish ; not trainers as such but walking/hiking low cut boots - shoes the military/ jesus sandal too was great for a hand luggage only backpacking trip to greece and italy - beach, pub , plane, samaras gorge hike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have as many pairs of Nike as I do Adidas, however the Nikes are a much better fit and are a lot more comfortable. Aye, the adidas look a bit more trendier with jeans, but I find them awfy long and narrow. Nike for days out and walks with the dug, Adidas for the pub when I’m no walking far 👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ramy 1314 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I wore Sambas for years, still wear them, walkobout or to going to the pub.. If it's comfort, I bought a pair of "Under Armour" trainers. Don't know if they sell them in Scotland. They are the most comfortable trainers I have ever worn.. Very popular over here. We bit pricey, but we'll worth it..

Too narrow (and I don’t think I have particularly broad feet) so I need to by a size up that then require an insole. As much as I like some Adidas I’d rather just buy shoes I know fit me.
