Sorry mate, these are 11's.

No bother mate, thanks for the heads up on them anyway. On the bright side, any difficult choice between a pair of Milanos and a pair of Trimm-Trabs has disappeared!

How would you say the Trimm-Trab compares to other Adidas styles, size-wise? Just in case I come across a decent pair via eBay.

I'd say they're like London's and fairly true to size. The only trainers I really have to size up on are Beckenbauers, so maybe I'm lucky. Arsenalmorris will be your man for a much more comprehensive answer

Can somebody please confirm that im not the only person that struggles with laces?

And no, I don’t mean tying them

Every single pair of shoes I own, no matter if they be they be converse or Barkers, smart or casual, the laces they come with are SO unbelievably long that I have to double or triple knot them to stop them dragging on the floor, which looks ridiculous.

Yes i could go out and buy shorter ones, but that’s not really the point is it?

I just did exactly that for my news shoes. 20cm shorter than supplied was about right. 20cm! How did the manufacturers not notice?

I use these things that I Kickstarted a year or so ago for all of my non-sport related trainers http://innie.co/

Murderer. A blue pony died so you could have those shoes.

Any of you fashion experts () know of decent alternatives to the Merrell Jungle Mocs? Pic for reference - Clicky

I had both the suede and gunsmoke ones in the past and liked them a lot but the last lot I've had are nowhere near as comfy (they feel narrower) and the soles on them are a lot softer as they've nearly worn through already . I've been struggling to find similar styles and these Skechers seem to be about the closest I've found but a lot of theirs are a bit too garish for my liking and I've read that they're even worse than Merrell's for durability.

Any suggestions chaps?

I really like those. I'm generally a style over substance man but those tick both boxes.

[Johnny]

Agreed. They're very nice.

[Alex L]

Thanks, they were courtesy of the recent Jones Bootmaker sale.

Something a little different just arrived for me;

Inov-8 OROC 340


I got them specifically for the tungsten carbide metal spikes!

[Alex L]

You definitely won't be slipping on the pavements in them..

[FreeLitres]

I was slipping all over the place on my run a few days ago because of frozen puddles and frost on the pavement. These OROCs are to try and keep me the right way up when the weather turns nasty!

[SpydieNut]

You rotten bugger - I did a little Fell run yesterday (Pendle Hill) in my trail shoes and they really weren't up to it, so I've been looking at something a bit more severe today - decided on the Mudclaws. And then.....,,then.......you post those.




I mean, we get snow up here in winter - and they sure look nice. Hmmmmm

[FreeLitres]

I'm not even sure how uch I will wear these but for £30, I couldn't resist!

Decent ebay seller too - has lots of other models at crazy prices too;
