Okay, I can imagine how you might take the first photo while your foot was in the shoe, but how did you manage to position yourself to get the second one? More importantly how did you manage to avoid the jeers from your colleagues upon performing this feat of acrobatic flexibility?

Artificial leg? Just un-clipped it for the purposes of the photo...

I just twisted my foot on it's side, then lent over to my left with the phone in my hand. I'm sure I could have took a more extreme angle if the occasion had called for it!

I actually did get a funny look from one guy wondering why I was taking a photo of the sole of my shoe!

I am inclined towards accepting the opinion of the Dr. in this case.

Either way, admirable dedication

I'm gonna buy a pair of jeans off of these.

Some great sites there, thanks a lot for that! Am tempted by a pair of the Jeans, but will try and get the a pair of the Athens's that release on Friday. Will look for a few fb groups aswell, thanks.

If you have any 7's that are surplus to requirements then please keep me in mind.

Jeans will all end up on sale so I wouldn't rush, Athens are gonna be hard to get onlines. I have booked Friday morning off work to queue up as i think that will be the best chance, unfortunately I am an 8.5/9 so no spares haha

Ok, I live miles from a size store and cannot take the time off, so will have to just give it a go online! I see some people/traders are taking pre-orders for the Athens seems strange!! Is there going to be a big markup re-sale like the Manchester's?

Great thanks for that advise. The Gor-tex are also nice but at £100 not nice enough, did you get any versions of them?

The Athens will sell out straight away so there will be people trying to sell / make a profit straight after release as usual. Got both the Moscow and St petersberg Gor-tex Gazelle's on order as they are an Xmas present so can't have them yet haha, good luck with the Athens. Hope you manage to sort a pair. Little tip..... get the size app on your phone and keep refreshing about 7:42-7:49 as they will appear on there early and will be sold or by the time they are meant to go on sale at 8am

wow. They're like proper dad trainers except they are pink. Gay dad trainers?

[jammy-git]

That's actually a really bad photo of them...

They are red, I promise!

Abit too 'vanilla' for me tbh.

[jammy-git]

I prefer subtle. At least as subtle as bright "cerise" trainers can get!

Neither of those really do it for me - both a bit 'out there'!

Slightly brighter colour than I'd usually go for but they only had a couple of colours in stock...




Am I doing this right?

Nice. Assume you're preparing for the XC season?

I bloody hate XC, but it's part and parcel of being in a running club, sadly.

Look, I know it's de rigeur to mock the carpets and background of the photos anyone posts, but in what way are these dad jeans?

Prove to me you're not using the lazy shorthand stereotypes of the braying idiots that trot out this st time after time. What makes a dad jean, and how are your jeans better?

[rsbmw]

I take it he borrowed those jeans from you?

[CoolHands]

Clarks desert boots for me

Wide legged but straight so they're baggy on the thigh and straight down, often too short, sometime too high waisted, sometimes long in the arse. Usually stonewashed.

To be fair they may or may not be, they look at bit dark for the usual. What they definitely do is showcase my pet hate. Visible laces. Big ugly loops flopping about into the bargain. And guaranteed when he sits a good couple of inches of sock.

The best laced trainer I ever bought was some Adidas/Goodyear collab where they had a flap covering the laces altogether. Been through some Diesel no laced jobs too. Just looks so much neater.

Adidas teamed up with a tyre manufacturer to make a shoe which everyone else assumed was fastened with velcro?

Oh yes, those do sound like the pinnacle of style.

Pink isn't a lady colour, or a gay colour.

Trousers long enough to conceal laces on shoes would either create an unfortunate break or be hugely baggy around the cuff.

Have you ever considered monk straps or lazymans?
