I feel maybe i've asked this before but i'm not sure..

Is there anyone here with flat feet by certain type of sneakers here? or a particular type of insole? for something that's comfy to walk in for a long time?

I overpronate when running and have fairly flat feet. I wear support asics trainers for running which help stabilise me.

You could try having your gait analysed by your local running shop and seeing what they recommend.

I only have anything specific for running shoes (saucony progrid guide 5 if you're interested). I don't find i need anything special for walking even long distances, i just use my asics gel sonoma goretex.
For normal trainers i don't use any different insoles

these skate shop exclusive?

e: weird if so. SNS got em. End didn't.

Apologies if this has been covered before, but recommendations for the best water repellent for my trainers please? And how well do Yeezy trainers fair up to the rain?
My Ultraboosts use to let water in and I'd end up with wet socks, guessing the Yeezy's will be similar?

I walk to work, about a mile each way and the recent downpour was interesting, thankfully I had my Air Max's so no wet socks this time round

Liquiproof is what I have used in the past. But that is only to prevent stuff getting on it by accident.

Due to the nature of the knitted upper you are gonna get soggy feet regardless if it’s pouring it down.

Thanks Matt, thought as much. I'll look into Liquiproof too, every little helps I guess

Any water repellent spray will do the job, just don't expect it to make them bombproof!

I don't wear any of my decent pairs if there is a chance of wet/muddy conditions!

[IainT V6]

I got ‘em and looks like my wife got ‘em for me! Doubling up suggest there’s plenty of pairs out but any regular poster to this thread needing UK9 let me know.

[Matt Cup]

Congrats Iain

L’s are coming through for me this morning for the Dunks.

[IainT V6]

Cheers Matt. Those dunks look like they’ll be hard to come by, I expect 90% of the people going for them will be in it purely for profit sadly

[Matt Cup]

The missus has just got a W on them. They are for her though this time

[hotchy]

Always wanted a pair of hair Jordan's but I missed out. Is that stockX legit? Only place i can find them in my size. (Not that I would wear them anyway)

[Mafffew]

Looks like all Ls on the dunks for me

Yes they are. Which Jordan’s you after?

[GTO-3R]

Wahoo managed a W on the Travis Scott’s from Focus! Can’t wait for them to come

That’s how it starts hotchy - “they’re nice to look at. I’ll maybe get one pair, it’s not like I’ll wear them”

Fast forward 12-months and you’ve got 15 pairs, some worn, some DS (because now you’re using the lingo), entering all the raffles in sight, taking L’s almost every weekend, roping family and loved ones into entering to feed your habit

I think you should most definitely get involved
