Nike Thea or Nike Roshe??

I need some casual black trainers to wear for day to day. I like the look of Nike Thea and the Nike Roshe feel very comfortable but not sure about looks. Please let me know which you prefer?

I think I prefer the look of Thea but Roshe is incredibly comfortable.

(sorry, that wasn't very helpful, was it?)

I just can't wear the thea - they are so uncomfortable and make me feel suffocated weirdly.

So I'd go for the roshe.

I love my Theas but I've got weirdly skinny feet so that might be worth bearing in mind.

I think it is the thea's seem to come up high on the back of my ankle and just sit in a really odd place.

This just came up in Active and I thought it was a baby name thread Blush

I've ordered both to try on at home. My feet are slightly wide so the theas may not be as good.

I have the thea. Find them very comfortable.

Oh no Uptownfuckuup, that sounds horrible! Theas cost quite a bit, you should take them back to the shop if they are still under guarantee.

Like you, I was unable to decide which I preferred. I now have a pair of each. Blush

The Roshe are the most comfortable trainers I have ever worn

and very cool for the summer (if we get any hot weather)

"and very cool for the summer (if we get any hot weather)"

I find trainers too hot when we have hot weather. Sandals for me when the thermometer creeps up above 21 degrees.

Have a look at the Tempo / Tempo2. They are lush and great for wider feet.

I thought this was a baby name thread.

Confused

What's a townie ?

Is that like a chav ? It doesn't sound like a flattering, or indeed kind, term

I wear the Theas more often, but the Roches are the ones I go to when my feet are really sore from being on my feet at work. They're super comfy, almost like slippers!

I have the Theas. Very comfy and quite wide, especially round the toe.

I thought this was a baby name thread too. So glad it isn't.
