Are they superbly made or is it just a brand name thing that makes them worth £170?
I can't quite see the value in paying silly money for trainers :-/
Would you pay as much for a pair of trainers as you would for a pair of shoes? These are not for sports or walking the dog, so I’ll treat them more like shoes than traditional trainers. I also paid a little less as they were on offer. I can't quite see the value in paying silly money for trainers :-/
I certainly didn’t pick them for the name as I’d never heard of the company before and they have virtually no branding, though I’ve been sucked in by the blurb on their website to believe they are a premium product. http://www.diemmefootwear.com/articles
They were delivered yesterday and do appear to be very well made, though only time will tell if they last. I do prefer them to the white Common Projects pair which were more expensive and will be going back, possibly to be replaced with a white pair of Diemmes.

I've got the black canvas version and that's what I use them for.
I've got a 'trendy' pair of...not sure, miu or something (I also have similar but no heel cover...basically an old style pump!), but they've been superseded by my VFFs and my OL shoes. Saying that, I've not deadlifted for 8 months now. I'm a machine user!!! toasty said:

Reading that, they do sound a bit spesh, made in Italy too I certainly didn’t pick them for the name as I’d never heard of the company before and they have virtually no branding, though I’ve been sucked in by the blurb on their website to believe they are a premium product. http://www.diemmefootwear.com/articles

One of the running Steve's said a while back that anything over £60 for trainers is for name alone, but that must have been back in the 80's.
Shoes in Deuchmans can cost £20, some on here a lot more. I suppose it just comes down to what one is willing to spend. I grumbled mightily at my (only Nike item ever purchased) 95 airmax, but they were what I wanted at the time...still my fave footwear 18 months later.
But I do believe they are starting to get that 'trainer squeak'. Not entirely sure.

They look like something that comes from the little catalogue you get in Sunday newspapers. Probably found next to the tartan double slipper.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
