The Training Shoe Phenomenon

[Levo-Lon]

Just went and counted. 24 pairs plus 4 pairs cycling shoes and a pair of wellies. Only one dress pair!

Ive got some competition then i have very similar amount.. Just sold 4 pairs of cycle shoes too

I wear lightweight mesh type trainers in the gym and what i'd call fashion trainers for general use,but as i get older,only in the warmer months. I buy Adidas, as most of my 'sporty stuff' is Adidas,so i have to not only colour co-ordinate,but brand co-ordinate as well. The most expensive pair i've bought cost me £113,last summer. They're white,yellow and gold in colour,so i won't be wearing them till probably April at the earliest. They have three little ventilation holes in the toe part of the sole,so they must let water in,though i haven't tried to find out. Obviously when designed in the late 1970's they were actually made for sport,not fashion.The pic' below is a stock photo,not mine,but these are the ones i bought.

You don't think they're a bit Jimmy Savile(ish) do you?!

Never owned a pair of trainers, never wanted a pair, I have running shoes but only wear them when running. Trainers are not my thing.

I have had loads trainers (running shoes) that I have worn also when not running, I have two pairs of Salomons I wear with jeans etc, I also have a pair of Vans, but I don't class these as trainers.
