All the kids are wearing those trainers with wheels in the heels.

there is nothing new and cool in the world of trainers for men
here are the rules for buying trainers:

1. comfortable
2. £25 or below (usually from TK Maxx or online)
3. Not white
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:21, Reply)

£25 or under
no way! trainers are one thing I will spend a lot of cash on. Agree with points 1 and 3 though.
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:23, Reply)

I'll stretch to £40 for a decent pair of skate shoes
But yes, never ever white.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:23, Reply)

I wear skate shoes almost exclusively
and have had no end of decent pairs of duffs and etnies etc. from TK Maxx for no more than £25.

I go through shoes way too fast to be able to afford even close to full price.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:24, Reply)

I am the same as you but I have a few cheap pairs for
outdoor activities but then will spend about 60 - 100 sheets on a nice pair for socialising and what not.
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:25, Reply)

No TK Maxx near me
And they generally have shit shoes in a size 10 when I do get to one. There's a place in Birmingham (The Oasis Centre) with a few independant skate clothes stalls, they tend to flog them a bit cheap.
I always wear the backs down on skate shoes...
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:27, Reply)

the internet is an excellent resource.
I've had skate shoes for £14 before.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:29, Reply)

There are loads of ebay shops that sell BNIB skate shoes dirt cheap

( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:32, Reply)

this is true
I've never found anything in my size that wasn't nasty when I've been looking though.

bad timing I suspect

of all the things you have called me this is the only time I've taken offence.
I am not a fucking chav. I just don't like seeing new shoes get scuffed on purpose.
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:32, Reply)

I was actually gutted
When coming back from a night on the piss in the O2 academy in Bristol my shiny white and red converse were covered in Club Ick.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:28, Reply)

When I told my friends to start scuffing them up
most of them agreed that it needed doing, but one of them was all "I can't believe you're doing that, I would cry if that happened"
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:31, Reply)

I like them a bit scuffed
But not covered in Club Ick. I'll wash 'em when I can be arsed.

It's essential with Converse.

I know shitloads about sneakers,
but seeing as everyone ripped on my Converse yesterday I'm keeping my knowledge to myself. In truth I know mostly about 1982-7 US 'kicks' but that's when all the classics were designed anyway.

Fuck you all.

but they're so pretty
and my DCs have all lasted years
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:26, Reply)

my current Etnies are the best trainers I've had for ages
and I will be trying to find some more when these die
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:28, Reply)

I like Etnies for blokes
but girl etnies aren't that nice. I have some cute pink Duffs but Wiggy says I look like DeeDee from Dexter's Laboratory in them.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:45, Reply)

my mrs tends to wear blokes trainers as she has fairly large feet
what's wrong with looking like DeeDee?

you should prance around chanting "it's all you can say" repeatedly
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:46, Reply)

He says he thinks the DeeDee look is cute
but that I do indeed prance around the house making a mess and leaving a wake of destruction.

I've bought two pairs of Vans this month.
This doesn't automatically make them cool, but I like them.
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:25, Reply)

I find Vans to be uncomfortable and prefer Etnies.
Looking at new Nike ones online, they are a bit tempting.
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:26, Reply)

it depends on which Vans you get
they have a few different types of sole, some of them are shit
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:27, Reply)

Agreed, hit or miss

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:29, Reply)

think I had a pair of those a little while ago
they were good. aside from the superfluous velcro bit that happened to have my full first name on it for some reason.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:31, Reply)

That's odd
I don't like velcro shoes. I'm a big boy now, I can tie laces on that wooden board no problem.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:48, Reply)

they were lace-ups
but they had an extraneous bit of velcro that went across the top.

I lost one of them though because I'd deemed them pointless and taken them off
