what the fuck is up with trainer soles these days?
I've had to buy 3 new pairs of trainers in last 5 months... All because fucking trainers have some cheap sole with that goddamn grid or whatever it's called in them. It gets exposed aftear a month of wearing ... wtf is that? It fucking hurts!
I understand that I have a heavy footstep, but goddamnit, this is ridiculous.

Can anyone recommend me some trainers that wont wear out with 2 months? Smile
Preferrably with a bit thicker sole if possible.

Trainers are for kids, get proper shoes. The more they have leather, the better. Leather is cool.

You either have really really heavy footstep or you're buying cheap crappy shoes grinhurt

The thing you mention happened back when I was in middle school, and was buying cheap knockoffs on the marketplace xD

These days when I'm buying a bit more expensive shoes, I haven't noticed any grid underneath the sole of the shoes...

Well, I don't want to wear shoes all the time. It gets to my feet eventually. Tried that in college.

I've tried different trainers. I mean something looking like this: http://www.sportsdirect.com/donnay-north-mens-trainers-169057?colcode=16905737
That's almost as close as I like - minimum design gimmicks and no big brand.

Currently I've got Pumas but: 1. they have thin sole (although it's durable) 2. they make me look like a douchebag
Something like this: http://www.mandmdirect.com/products-Puma-Mens-Fast-Cat-Trainers-White-Black_PU2336.htm


Technically I'm looking for something that has the quality of Sketchers and plain and simple looks of cheap trainers Razz

Last 2 pairs of my Sketchers have literally been worn to beyond fixing (both for more than 2 years).

The backstory is that most of douchebags in Estonia wear them Very Happy
I used to like Puma until they started to show their logo on the front tip of their footwear.

Quality of Sketchers?! O.o

Sorry, but quality is not something I associate with Sketchers :\ I had some bad experience with them...

Last year I had these:



And I loved them Smile
In the end the bottom part cracked on the bend, but only because I wore them everywhere, I even cycled in them (which undoubtedly contributed to the cracking), but they looked awesome and were super comfy Very Happy

Now I have these:



And they are great looking, but I should have bought a bigger size, since Nike has weird matrix, but I'm breaking them in (I got nasty calluses a month back, but it's getting better grinhurt)

Yea, dingo, I haven't had any bad experiences so far with Sketchers Razz

Thing is, I don't like trainers that follow skater style Wink
And brown is probably worst color for footwear to be Razz

I never wore skater style shoes, but these were just perfect ^^

And why is brown the worst color? I like it, and if I untie them, they have 'skaterish' look, and if I tie them they look elegant.
Black ones looked dull imo...

I have worn Airwalk skate shoes for about a decade now, but the last pair I bought only lasted 2 months before I noticed hole in the soles. It's a shame as I really liked them. I have to buy a different brand now. Sad

So like a fat person getting mad for being called fat?

Or like a dude in a red costume with a white beard getting mad for being called Santa Claus?

The problem isn't what you're called, the problem is the generalization, you should've told me (and gotten mad) about the fact that faggots wear boots too.

I was wrong. I am merely rationalizing my own preference of military boots over any other footwear.

I bought a pair of Timberland boots last winter for a shitload of money (170 euros), from a certified store. I thought they will last till i die, yet the soles (on both boots) became loose in 1.5 months. I didn't climb mountains and shit, just went to office and back. Oh the rage...

I've been using these:



... the most recent pair owned held together for 9 years, they still hold together (and are comfy as fuck) but there's some cracks in the leather that has made them leak when it rains a lot or I step in too high moist grass.

Cost me a bit, but I know I can trust those shoes.

Okay... nice advice. I'll just get fisk's boots and stop on everyone else while calling them faggots.
