Adidas Trainers

[Carvalho Diablo]

Those Kenny ones will have zero tread and be as slippery as fuck... especially around potentially lethal machinery, and I have no desire whatsoever to put my feet into a pair of Mr Hanky Adidas trainers.

Cheap Samba's.....

Might be forced back onto the trainer market for these...

 

 

Went to look at these yesterday & absolutely love them but they're white suede so will last about 10 seconds in the rain. £85 saved.

Might splash out on these....

I like these. I’d wear them with loose-fitting turd brown or beige jumbo cords.

How do you chaps do with sizes? Do you go a size up?

For width?

Just general fit. 

 

I don't wear trainers very often but I had sambas a few years back and had to bin them as they got too tight over the course of the day even though they were my 'proper' size. I tried a size up the other day in the shop though and there was some slippage at the back. I'd read Nike are usually a half size small, but not sure about Adidas.

I take a size 9 in proper shoes but wear 9.5 or 10 in Adidas, depending on style. Adidas footwear can be pretty narrow.

I find adidas 10 and a half perfect but often have to get 11 as the width can be a bit narrow on some. My Copa Mundial footy boots are a brilliant fit at 10 and a half.

Depends on the trainer although I find Adidas to be pretty consistent with my correct size.

Trainers or condoms?

There's an app called Fitting Room. You put in trainees that fit you well as a reference and then put in what you want to buy and it tells you if you need to go a half size up or whatever. Useful.

Love Hamburg's but those colours are not for me.

 

The blue Hamburg's are boss - one of the nicest colours around.

I have just ordered and got them for £56 using a 30% off code.

I prefer these Handball Spezials to the Hamburg above.

Nope. As a Scotsman you should understand about getting more for your money. In fact it's probably my Scottish ancestry that makes me this way.

The average price of a pair of Adidas trainers these days is probably between £60 & £70. Most of the pairs in this thread will be more like £70 to £90 (RRP).

 

I'm not sure what being Scottish has to do with it, trainers cost the same in Scotland & England. I've got trainers as old as 18 years which I still wear so am generally happy with what I get for my money.
