I've never bought a pair of Saucony before, but got these bad boys coming in the post. Limited edition The Good Will Out x Saucony VHSaucony. How class is the box?

Very cool.

How about something made out of primeknit from adidas. Something like an Ultraboost, Pureboost etc? Very stretchy and comfortable...

I found my feet were too wide for the ultraboost, which is a shame as I've wanted some for ages

I am trying to buy a pair of these in the UK but really struggling. That link is for the US region, if you change it to UK they aren't available to be purchased for delivery here. Converse UK only has the white versions (and not my size anyway), Converse USA has the ones I want, but not my size.

John Varvatos have said they can't ship them to the UK, even though they do free worldwide shipping, because they are not available in this region.

Anyone think of any ideas of how i could get them to me?

Go to the USA section of pistonheads and ask if anyone will do it for you? Plenty of guys on the forum live there!

Don't know if these guys ship abroad? http://m.zappos.com/p/converse-by-john-varvatos-ch...

Or maybe a trusted eBay seller???

I could perhaps help, even better if they available in the John Vavartos physical stores, as there are a couple near me.
Drop me a message.

I have these Vavartos chucks:

Good spot, but unfortunately it looks like they only ship to USA and their overseas territories

Wow thanks. I know they are available in Converse stores as when I was in San Francisco in July they had them. Regret not buying them then!

Will send you a message

Arrived yesterday, a great collab and something a little different

My feet are so wide that my wife affectionately refers to them as plates.

I have found the Adidas NMD Boosts very comfortable.

Hi guys

I want to get a pair of trainers for my son as a gift. Already decided on the Air Force 1.

Office are doing a 20% off sale, today only.

I can get some AF1 lows in triple black for around £55. But for a few £ more at another store (Treadfresh) I can get the AF1 mid.


What would you guys think? Lows or Mids?

Or do I up the ante and purchase a rarer pair of LV8 with the gold tabbing from Footlocker (£70)?


Thanks, much appreciated.

Saucony and Diadora are putting Nike and Adidas too shame when it comes to quality of materials, QC, GR variation and Collabs. I have 4 pairs of Saucony in rotation, and never get bored of them!

[rufmeister]

Can anyone recommend anything for wide feet?

I can't fit in any of the latest adidas offerings.

Currently switch between Jordan Eclipse and Nike Free 5.0 which are so comfortable, just want something new.

It depends how he dresses, I would never buy high tops, only buy if he already has some!

I pop into treadfresh quite a bit as they are on the same estate as me! Croc heaven, if that's your thing!!

The Dunks are also nice!

I'm a low person, but mids can look class. Depends on his style

Yeah agree. Got some Diadora, but this is my first pair of Saucony. I do still love adidas, these arrived soon after the sauconys

[anonymous-user]

In the end the Office sale ended before I could even make up my mind . Back to £71.


Still thinking on triple black AF1 lows.. could he possibly wear them as school shoes which saves me another £50 (only buy from Clarks)?


Thanks, much appreciated.

Buy something his mates don't have, you can get all black trainers for £30 for school!

I'd buy a limited edition pair, protect them up and keep them clean.

Nikes aren't my thing but someone will be along to suggest some nice AF1's

Thanks, in the end went for some Air Max 95 Ultra Jacquard.

Foot Locker deadstock for £65 - solid deal
