Trainers

[bonzo]

Used to wear NB 574 for work as I'm on my feet all day and they're very comfy but they're hard to get in my size 13. Now wear Adidas run 60 which are pretty similar  to 574.

For the dancing 😆 I've got a couple of pairs of Onitsuka Tigers Mexico 66 and a pair of Adidas Japan both of which are the comfiest trainers I've ever had.

I've got a dark brown pair of them on top of the wardrope that i have hardly worn since i bought them about 10 year ago from M&M direct for about £30 

I see they are now £150 for a pair lol - which is a farce 

As for size 13 - Are you OddBod from Carry on Screaming ? 

I thought my 10-11 feet were big !

I struggle to interact with people who wear sketchers, have they just given up on life?

I really like the Sambas, Gazelles and Spezial etc but feel they can be a bit uncomfortable and quite "flat", not offering much in the way of cushion/support.  Mibbe I'm just getting old (spoiler, I'm getting old!).  Got a pair of Munchen and they squeak and creak like crazy too.

Also saw the white/gold Forest Hills have been reissued.  Had a pair of them back in the day and loved them so will probably pick up another pair at some point!

I’ve been really disappointed with my last couple of pairs of Adidas. They still look good but as Squirrelhumper says the quality isn’t the same, especially the Sambas. The padding around the ankle and tongue doesn’t seem to be what it used to be. It would put me off buying them again unless I really couldn’t resist the look.

I forgot to say they are the slip on ones as well. I can't even argue against Dan Cake.

Nah that's a step too far. I've never considered Crocs.

New Balance just strike me as auld men’s trainers. I know they’re trendy, expensive and popular, but something just doesn’t sit right with me in regards to them. 
 

You’ve got me searching them up though……

That's how i view a lot of Adidas now. 

Especially when you see those hideous Scotland Gazelles/Celtic Spezial versions

👍 I always liked the Trimm-Trabs but don't think they're available new anymore. 

Proper trainers, as were the original forrest hills. 

The re-releases no so much.

I've a pair from 20 odd years ago and still decent. The re-leases aren't great, the soles were never great but these look a lot worse.

Matt Fitzpatrick is sponsored by them. If ever a golfer suited that sponsor!

Aye that's when I had mine.  Bizarrely remember it as I had them when I was in South Africa when the 2006 World Cup was on.  And remember driving through a town called Forest Hills while wearing them! 🤯😆

I got a pair of Sambas for the Euros in Germany and they squeaked and creaked like crazy as well. A good slaigering with dubbin cured them.
