Need to get a new pair of trainers/shoes for the new season and just wondering what people use?

Did have a battered old pair of adidas Stan smiths which did the job as they were leather, but have finally split after several years..

I think most people, myself included, just wear old trainers that have past their time for trips out and down the pub

I like gortex trainers as was fed up with getting soaking wet feet when the grass was damp. The adidas terrex are good and now got pair of reebok gortex trainers which are nice too

I go in Crocs in the summer, they are good because they're nice and easy to get on when you have a take in the night.

My Meindl Mens Magic 2.0 GTX (Goretex) have given up the ghost after 20yrs of abuse . . . have literally just ordered a pair of Clarkes ATL Trek Lo Goretex in carpy olive green - will let you know if they live up to the Meindls!

Goretex worth the investment as they're waterpoof / warmish in the autumn and cool in the summer . . .

Don't understand people still wearing inadequate footwear on the Bank. When there's plentry of dedicated outdoor footwear out there for all seasons.. its not the 90'S you know, when we had little choice..

For what it's worth I wear Adidas Terrex gtx after a recommendation on here. Also heard good things about Merrel footwear aswell.

Outdoor hiking trainers or boots depending on the weather. If lounging around a swim in summer I often wear my Navitas weaves or sliders
