I've been wearing trainers since I was sixteen. Cannot wear leather shoes anymore. Very uncomfortable.
I look for these attributes in a trainer.
No dip on the back heel grip - I like my tendons and don't need them to be cut into? need the rounded back.
Large shock absorber pad - no plastic beeds.
Leather inside as well as outside to aid grip. Don't want to slide about in shoes if I want to run.
laces that grip? what are they doing to laces? coating them in talc. they keep coming loose. I treble tie. still come loose?
REEBOK classic used to be perfect - i now have to buy from Ebay because you can't find a pair of trainers in the high street for £20 anymore - they want £60 for trainers? Or some fantasy price?
got two pairs for £20 on Ebay - new.
SHOE MANUFACTURERS - just copy reebok classic. It's a recipe for success. Make them in Black. White. and Brown/yellow. I will pay £20 a pair. Need a new pair yearly.
in a few years time I might have to take up a cobbler course just to get a decent pair of shoes.

Why would a manufacturer produce zillions of £20 reebok classics when people are happy spending £100+ a pair with better styling?

Agree with you about the heels Zorro. I need durable walking shoes (not trainers) but anything tough enough comes with a nasty raised tab designed to chafe the heel and bruise the Achilles tendon. What's all that about? I have to shear them off level as best I can before the shoes can be worn. The laces too, as you mentioned, won't stay tied with the normal double bow and need a reef knot to stay in place.

Design your own and get them made in China...then someone like Victor Kiam or Chandler
will buy your company. |
