So yesterday...lolz

I was on the bus yesterday on the way back from a dental appointment and a bit of a shopping trip. I was wearing my new bargain training shoes i'd managed to pick up for 18 quid(down from 55 quid) when some school children made a comment to each other about them. I asked them what they found funny,they replied that they were naff or something else derogatory. What i do is buy trainers that are a decent make but way down in price. I don't stick to a particular brand, as long as they look ok and cost little i'll buy and wear them!
Have you been a victim of training shoe snobbery where someone has mocked them for not being the latest overpriced ones?
The really trendy retro-fixie crowd use tweed.
These bliddy things probably explain a lot, then (especially in sixth year )........
Quack!I've been wearing Vibram Fivefingers pretty much all the time for everything bar cycling and ice climbing for nearly two years now, so I'm thoroughly used to the horrified / mocking / bemused looks now :-)

A lot of the looks come from my wife...I've been wearing Vibram Fivefingers pretty much all the time for everything bar cycling and ice climbing for nearly two years now, so I'm thoroughly used to the horrified / mocking / bemused looks now :-)
The solution to that is the KSO EVO: same sole as the EL-X but better heel and adjustable top area :-)I've got a pair of those EL-X too, but find them too tight across the top of the foot to wear for long.
How cute. I had a pair of those once upon a time too. I was always a trend setter
My mother also insisted on me using a very old leather satchel type schoolbag which made me an object of ridicule
If I had it now I could probably sell it to the trendy retro-fixie crowd as a posh bike bag for a silly price
