Tell me which trainers to buy, o wise ones

[MrsBadger]

as these (which I loved) have worn right out and are no longer available without paying £££ or I would buy another pair just the same [sob]

Not for sport or anything, just for casual wear and fitting my big fat feet and orthotics in. Need to be leather for water- and spillage-proofness, somewhere on the brown / green spectrum, could spend up to £70 if they'll last four years like those did.

Looking at Merrell
Geox (look a bit too sporty)
K Swiss (are these any good? sound awfully trendy )
diferent sort of Timberlands

Give me your wisdom!

My Dad has those Merrells in several different colourways, smart shoes that will last a long time. Bargain price too!

The Geox and Timberlands are ok, the K Swiss ones not so much.

Sorry, just realised you may be a woman. The Merrells are neat enough that they'd look good on a woman, they don't shout manly, just a nice neutral shoe.

hah, yes, I am a woman but am tall with big wide feet and nostalgia for my student Gazelles.

(when I bought the Timberlands pictured, after watching me spend ages trying lots of different ones, the till assistant looked and me, looked at the trainers and said in a low voice 'You do realise these are men's shoes, don't you?'
I am ashamed to say I said 'Oh no! Are they? Quick, let me swap them for pink ones with glitter on!')

I have men's walking boots and trainers for the wide fit. I like the look of the geox ones best for everyday use. The merrels are a bargain but they look too much like walking shoes for everyday use, IMO. K Swiss look like golf shoes to me for some reason.

Geox out of all on your list.
