Some new running shoes as the old ones came to the end of their life.

I think I am going to try some of those. What are they actually called? Q N?

Called On Running, quite pricey in this country at around £115, or if you go to America $115

Ive got a pair of On 'Clouds' and they are super comfy for walking around in, bit weird to start with but so nice. Picked my pair up in a closing down sale for £30-40 in America. Would recommend though

Heres mine

grenson? i have the same ones. give the sides a bit of play prior to wearing, mine were agony on my ankles until worn in.

bought a couple of pairs of oliver sweeney shoes in the sale, will post pics later but they're perhaps the most comfortable shoe i've owned to date.

They are super comfortable yes. I only managed to get into running due to them, I have wierd feet apparently.

Swiss company and they bring out new models pretty quickly so plenty of innovation happening. Worth traacking down a seller near you to try them. I use these guys as they're local. http://www.athleteservice.com/

Yeah man. Will do.
Saw them in Harvey Nichols the other day and debated grabbing them then saw them pop up in the End sale so couldn't resist. Beaut things.
Any recommend decent, inexpensive shoe trees at all? My 1880s have been neglected for too long.

If you sign up at www.sportpursuit.com they quite often have the On Running shoes on sale (normally up to 50% off, probably last years colours)

I have a client who has had a few pairs, they squeek a lot when she runs in the wet which would do my head in biglaughbanghead

I was talking to someone else the other day who mentioned this and I realised I have never noticed if mine squeek or not.

Today's arrival,

Adidas Gazelle OG Consortium from 2010



Adidas Oslo - Sole Service from 2009

How many pairs do you buy each month? I can't help but imagine you spending more on Adidas trainers than you do on your mortgage/rent!

Any pictures of the Geobaskets? They're well out of my price range but if you can wear anything with them that doesn't look silly, kudos.

These are the pair I currently have. Probably the maddest ones he's ever done.
Usually just wear em with waxed Rick jeans and something drapey on top or my Rickish leather jacket over a tee.
I probably look silly but I dig it so who the hell cares.

New pair are just conservative more wearable off white.

umm... not sure where to start tbh. I know this will get a response along the lines of "life's too short to be boring" but they are another level of horrid IMHO.

Believe it or not there is some Rick Owens stuff I like as seperate items but I dont think I could ever actually see myself wearing it.
