Not that this should be taken as an indicator for my age, but; I bought a pair of those Sketchers not too long ago, and they're slip-ons but with realistic looking faux laces. Very comfy too.

Why do so many waste so much money on trainers ?

Just buy from M&M direct & save a sh*tpile of Money.

clothing.
Bought another pair the next year exactly same shoe in april 2017 fir £55

Supination & a heavy step is my biggest problem

So No INFLATED prices as you claimed.

Sorry

£100+ for any trainers is daylight rubbery.

[StillSpike]

Bravo

[Dunners]

I don't get it. I looked on that M&M website and filtered for mens trainers in the £15-£30 price bracket. All of the trainers listed there just looked like they were worth no more than £30.

Take these Puma trainers as an example. The RRP is claimed to be £109.99, but I'm now being told that I can grab them for a bargain at just £29.99!

I admit I'm not one who is into spending money on branded trainers, so this may all be lost on me, but surely that's bollocks? I'm the last person to credit the public with much intelligence, but please don't tell me that there were plenty of people willing to part with £109.99 for that kind of crap. My faith in humanity is low enough as it is.

[Beradogs]

Are air hostesses still called Trolly dollies.

[Dunners]

They're not even called air hostesses anymore. They're now called Flight Attendants.

Long gone are the days when you could call one over to pour you a drink and give her a cheeky spank on the 'arris.

It's P.C. gone mad!

Pricey. I'm just going to buy another pair of flip flops for now and hold fire until the January Sales.

[Dunners]

I just cannot relate to spending £400 on shoes.

The most I've ever spent on shoes is about £150. But that was for formal/work wear. For anything else I try and get the cheapest, but quality, footwear I can get. Which normally means spending between £30 to £50. Cheaper usually (but not always) means compromising on quality, and more expensive usually (but not always) means you're paying for branding.

I'm not adverse to brands, BTW, but will avoid anything that positions a logo in an overtly visible location.

I'm also not adverse to buying a cheap pair of beach sandals for £2 from Primark, as I can just bin them at my holiday destination before heading back to the airport.

And Here Dunners is the Difference between "branding" & quality

You probably have never heard of the shoe manufacturer.&
I guarantee you woud never have heard of my Favourite knitwear
Company .

My £400 shoes cost me about £150 + vat so
not much difference to what you would pay .

Obviously aimed at people who have a very large disposable income .

I dont drive or own a Car & saved my self yearly,
insurance, mot, parking, petrol , congestion etc.
