few years ago this lad who i employed trainers split on the street View attachment 5785 and i had to buy him shoes quickly but the only ones we could find [in size 12] were these deck shoes!

they proved totally unsuitable very poor grip

 

[windowangel]

Trainers and usually footy socks but reckon on a day like today time to dig out me speedos lol

£9.99 pair of trainers from shoezone, last a couple of months then replace them, tried a more expensive pair but they wore out within month.

Damo that was my pic you weirdo!

I still wear them in the summer months, amazing grip, and soooo comfy, despite what the CIU brigade claimed...

They do look comfy but I couldn't be seen in them. Feet far too big.

Trev they were the best shows ever for work, I could stand in 45 degree roofs like I was on superglue,

Absolutely love them, and there so light, so they help keep the legs from fatigue on long days,

The grip is immense, and I think if you have small feet, they look 'well cool' lol

Was looking for some waterproof trainers for a while. Salomen and Karrimor have some Goretex lined shoes that I tried but I couldn't find anything that I liked and fitted me for less than £90. Spotted these shoes made by an American company called Keen, not Gortex but got their own waterproof/breathable liner. Nice big toe box area and they haven't let a drop of water in. Got them for £60 which is still more than I wanted to spend but my feet are warm and dry. View attachment 5797

On a more serious note, read recently that for those who wear trainers and are frequently up ladders, this can course serious damage later as the sole is soft and doesn't support the lower foot. You never see the army training in trainers, always boots! Perfect typing after drinking all day!!!

I'm am a big believer in wearing walking boots at work. Looks profesional and they feel great on your feet all day. I have at the moment a pair of salomans quest 4D GTX 2 they do cost quite a bit but for me it's a no brainer you have them on for 8 hours a day so they need to be robust and keep your feet dry. They are gortex and come with a 2 year manufacture Guarantee so any splitting or any kind of damage like that new boots. Down side they cost £150 but if you shop around you can get them for anywhere between £90-110.

 

[Dave B]

Price is not an issue as the taxman is paying for them eventually anyway

 

[Jake]

Would never wear walking boots, to big, heavy, and clumsy

 

[noddy]

doctor martens boots for winter and shoes for the summer for us
