Anyone into trainers/sneakers? (Vol. 3)

[Tindersticks]

Basically the entire New Balance range.

Seems odd to complain the trainers look like running shoes.

I'd just to say I won't buy Adidas Spezial as they look like handball shoes!
And I don't want people to think I am a handball player

I don't reallly get people buying saucony ?

I'd wear them running but not casually .

Saucony do more than technical running shoes.

But they still just look like running shoes.

TBF, the Saucony Shadow doesn't look like a full on running shoe. Looks very much like NB 574

Me and my two pairs of Saucony Jazz are most offended

My order got cancelled so swapped over to the green ones (which I actually prefer on reflection)

I think it's subjective. I have 4 pairs of Saucony, 2 are running shoes but the other two; Jazz OG and Jazz Peak are not running shoes IMO...maybe the OG was used for running back in the day but I consider it a 'retro' trainer and didn't see many around when I got mine.

Saucony and NB (574 mainly) work well for my wide foot hence I am a big fan and have multiple pairs. I would love to have got my hands on some of the older Saucony Grid collabs.

ASICS, NB and Saucony are my go-to's for both running and lifestyle sneakers....all have decent width (if you get the right model/fit).

Yep. Also prefer that colour.

How do you rate the Jazz for comfort? I tried a pair on once in a shop but that's not really the same thing as wearing them out and about.

Treated myself to these in the Grenson sale, beautifully made and fit nicely too

Slightly firmer and less 'structured' than NB 574 (IMO) but do accommodate my wider than average foot ok. It's more the look/aesthetic of the Jazz and 574 that I am a fan of however for comfort and balance of softness/firmness neither beats ASICS Kayano 14's.

They look really nice! Never heard of that brand before.

Typically do high quality mens formal shoes.
Think like Loakes, Barker, Cheaney & Church

I also have wide feet, I find Jazz more comfortable than 574s.

1st day in the On Cloudtilts, and very impressed, very comfy and light.

They make great shows but they’re impossible for me to buy in the sales as their sizing is all over the place.

Who wanted these? Just been notified, FSR at size

Sale on Zalando - I was after some new NB but it seems they've become very expensive so I had a look around.
