Since it seems to be the done thing when you buy a pair of Adidas trainers




They're a skateboarding style with a very comfy rubber insole. I'm confident I can now perform perfect kickflips despite not having touched a skateboard for 10+ years.

Rubber soles are most definitely better for trainers.

Are the modern incarnation of the Air Max as comfortable as I remember the originals to be?

Must sort a pair before we go on holiday next spring - we walk for miles in and around the cities we visit, good running type shoes are essential!

I bought a new pair of semi brogue Barkers today, I'm very pleased with them.

Very comfortable but heavy compared to modern running style trainers. More of a fashion trainer than anything you'd do sport in.

Funnily, on a recent stay in Palma quite s few people spoke to me in Spanish. Maybe I should have worn the British holiday attire in future tongue out

They appear to be tiny, or you're massively tall.

They're probably very nice, but can you get someone nearer to photograph them pleaase?

Yeah, I know - I often relegate my running shoes to walking duties when I feel they're no longer doing their job properly for running.

The Air Max is a bit more robust than my usual running shoe, so I'll have to give them a go.

Comfy as ever. My pair are a good year or so old and although I don't wear them every day or even every week. They are still quite rigid in the sides. Id expect them to have gone a bit softer.

As above, nothing like lightweight running derived shoes are these days. My actual pair of running shoes (Saucony Triumph ISO2) weigh the same as 1 AM90
