Something a bit different, maybe.

I myself wear white Converse hi-tops.

Some cheapy Lonsdale thingies but next on my shopping list clothes wise are some nice shoes.

I have some Asics Gel 1120's for running though, set me back £60.

Whatever pair is best value when I'm shopping for them. When I find some I like, I tend to buy a couple of pairs. Saying that, my last 4 pairs have been New Balance.

Minging ones.
Mr. Green

I never really got into "name" trainers, Nike Reebok, all the same to me. I always just end up buying economy trainers and wearing them till they have to be thrown away in a biohazard bin.

But I do I have a pair of Converse called "Voodoo Boots" which are decorated in the style of Vince Ray, they're fab. I lurve them so much, I've just about worn them to death Laughing They have flaming skulls on the soles and when you step in puddles, they leave prints on the dry pavement.

These but can I find any for sale anywhere? No. My current pair are shagged so looks like I'll have to find something else.

My day to day slobbing around shoes are these:

https://www.snow-boot.com/es/images/m/diesel_baffin_schwarz_black.jpg
Wish I'd bought two pairs when I had the chance as I can't get anymore now Sad

However, I just treated myself to some new running shoes (my trusty North Face pair got utterly ruined at Badminton... the crocodile infested swamp finished them off). I'm so pleased with these though, they're definitely going to make me run faster 'cos they say "Zoom" on them!

ZOoooooooom!!!
I didn't realise they were Nike+ until I got them home and started potching with them too, so that made me even happier Very Happy Very Happy

DC trainers, but probably not again cos they now seem to be increasingly shit and fall apart too quickly. Sad

Or army boots or welly boots depending what I'm doing.

I've never been able to replace those DCs we had that matched Smile
*reminisces being able to wear her own DCs inside Ste's matching pair*

Shaggy: I actually have a pair of pumps in my locker at work for changing into when I don't bring any proper shoes. Laughing Super comfy, but slightly gay?

Got a few pairs of casual trainers and wear Asic 2120's for gym/running.

Converse are like slippers as there's nothing of them, could do with softer soles tho. Always wanted to try running shoes, look so comfortable.

They're only gay if you call them "pumps". Real men call them Plimsolls Smile

I find them terribly uncomfortable for walking around in, they're just all 'wrong', plus being utterly awful for driving in as you can't feel a damn thing through the soles.

I don't wear trainers, I almost exclusively wear army boots.

I do own a pair but they haven't been worn for a period of years.

They are the old design classic, Hi-tec squash.

Like these, but mine have more green on them:
