trimandson Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Trainer snobbery, good or bad? I have a fair few pairs of tidy trainers, Samba's, Stan Smiths and the like, and I love em. So trainer snobbery, good or bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant(aka_eddy) Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Good. Hate any that look useful for a game of basketball, although I did once own a pair of converse. oops. Bright colours are also a no. Retro is a great big greasy fat yes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Good - I am very very picky about what trainers I buy.. which is a problem but then I have really wide feet.. but still, anything is better than chav-hoof covers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrogers Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Adidas Tobbaco, BEST. TRAINERS. EVER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Own a pair of Umbros for 5 a side, nothing special. Nike pair for general running/tennis/squash/whatever. Pair of Kangaroos for hockey. Other than that I don't wear trainers as such. Own a very nice pair of Merrell shoes (or is it Merrill, not sure), so comfortable, brilliant shoes, pair of sketchers, same as the Merrills comfort wise and got a knackered old pair of Converse which are quite nice but would only wear them to be scruffy or with shorts as none of my others really go with shorts and I wear shorts a lot in summer. Don't buy into the whole trainer snobbery thing really, but having said that if I had the money some classic adidas trainers would probably be added to the collection.

Anthony Posted March 28, 2006 VT Supporter Share Posted March 28, 2006 For all those who work for the companies that make em, good, on the whole, apart from sweatshops. For those who buy em... Wear em when you're training, and wear shoes when you're not, or look a clearing in the woods. In my eyes, anyway. But then, it's been years since I've seen the adjective 'fashionable' as a compliment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b23avfc Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I agree with the footwear for a purpose thing. At last count I have around 30 pairs of footwear (ie shoes, trainers, boots). Love ´em and would buy more. Trainer snobbery isn´t really an issue with me cos i hate the keep up with the jones´ crap that happens. But a good pair of kicks can be sooo tempting.

You iews a bit black and white isn't it? Trainers are comfortable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
