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 prefer Thea

leedy · 04/05/2016 11:10

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.

MsBojangles · 04/05/2016 11:15

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

MrsCampbellBlack · 04/05/2016 11:18

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

Me too!

Jenda · 04/05/2016 11:21

Me three!

MrsCampbellBlack · 04/05/2016 11:36

That's so funny - little nike with his sister reebok

sammy891 · 04/05/2016 13:58

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

i only had them a few weeks and i now have a small hole in the back from where it has been rubbing against my feet so i wouldn't recommend

Shopgirl1 · 04/05/2016 14:30

I have the thea. Find them very comfortable.

sammy891 · 04/05/2016 18:58

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

AnyFucker · 04/05/2016 19:03

The Roshe are the most comfortable trainers I have ever worn

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

AnyFucker · 04/05/2016 19:05

I got mine from the Schuh Imperfects site for 20 quid

JackandDiane · 04/05/2016 21:19

roshe if you want to look like a Year 8 townie

sammy891 · 04/05/2016 21:40

HoundOfTheBasketballs have you decided which you prefer after owning both pairs Grin??

"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.

SandunesAndRainclouds · 04/05/2016 21:47

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

Palomb · 04/05/2016 21:49

I thought this was a baby name thread.

Confused
AnyFucker · 04/05/2016 22:07

What's a townie ?

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

HoundOfTheBasketballs · 06/05/2016 22:22

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!

ephemeralfairy · 06/05/2016 23:00

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

thestickereconomy · 06/05/2016 23:07

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