The soles look better than converse, are they more comfortable for walking in? What are the sizes like, normal fit or a bit small? I see they're still on sale in limited sizes and might try a pair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm stomping around like a motherfucker. The UK sizes seem spot on, I got a EUR 43 which sometimes means an 8.5 but in this case was a 9. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to love Adidas trainers but this is a great point, I've often seen trainers I want but they are £90 then seen a similar looking pair in JD or something for £30. I really need to branch out. What other brands are decent and comfy? I don't really like Nike's big stupid tick 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they’d appeal to you though as their logo thing has more to it than the Nike tick? I got an ad email the other day saying GetTheLabel have a range of Asics Gel’s for about £35-£40 just now. Worth a look to see if they’ve any colours you like.

The same thing happened with Saucony a couple of years later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had new balance in the very distance past pal, then went right off them and purposely steered clear for about 30 years. This may change if these turn out to be decent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just over 30 years ago (late ‘80’s) NB first brought out the 574’s and 576’s. A great period of time in so many ways! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would've stood out in Dundee with New Balance on back then, it was like a sea of sambas and travel fox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the late ‘80’s it was Timberlands for me - boats shoes, boots and the 3 eye lug boat shoes.........with Chipie and Chevignon flares usually 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
