for leisure I have vans
Or, do you just mean to train in? Meh? To train in, I wil wear whatever is there and is cheap and available. I will rot shit out of the seams with my sweat, and knock fuck off the toes with whatever exercise I'm doing so, they'll take a battering. The only time I'd look to invest in some 'proper' training trainers is if I were planning on a lot more road running, and that would be to save my knees... see www.kneeguru.co.uk for examples of knee problems.
I have been wearing sketchers lately, have a better grip for walking in the snow/ice.
I'm currently sporting a lovely pair of red Converse-style trainers (are Converse even classed as a trainer?) by George. £6. They're good for about 500m before they make you develop a wonky gait.
Um, aside from that, if I wear trainers (which is rarely) it'll be my Vans, or my Converse in the summer.
How can you have not heard of Asics? Anyway, not the cool kids, but one of the brands that serious runners tend to pick.
Namaste, why don't you take a step up to Hi-Tech? :cool:
Haha Hi-Tec are bad boy trainers!
improved my street cred no end, now i'm the coolest cat in town :cool:
my k-swiss pair is 6 years old now, and still kicking. I haven't worn them for the last 3 or so, however
Forgot I have a pair of adidas too, but I just fucking love my marc eckö's. they are just too damn sexy.

I used to wear mine day in, day out for about...god...three years? They ended up covered in writing, with neon laces, seriously muddy and the rubber around the edge of the sole was coming apart, but they never RIPPED as such. There were a few scuffs in the fabric and maybe a couple of holes (but come on, THREE YEARS), but they never ripped.
