Trainers

I didn’t do the clingfilm part. Will try again.

Yeah those little bottles of 12% in Sainsbury's/Superdrug are all you need. Summer sun can just melt the glue so autumn/spring safer.

Nice. Sustainable. Y not just torch them? 🤔

I'm joking of course.

2001 Breds, these got retired almost a decade ago, should probably do a sole/swoosh swap if I can find a decent cheap donor pair but ICBF.

And I'm not allowed to wear them anymore anyway. 🤣👴

There are guys in Japan selling replacement sole units on their own they are getting made in Chinese factories but US10 seems to be biggest size

Booo, too small!! I'd probably give it a go myself, it doesn't look crazy difficult.

Has anyone got or tried on the ACG Watercat+? What's the instep like? Decent arch support? Really fancy a pair. Loving the 90s Air Woven/Footscape vibe.

you havent got the ankles fort them hashtaggrankles

They got a lot of flak due to the similarity to KEEN footwear.

Fankles, I know but I'll wear socks with them anyway. 👴

@dubtap If the heads hate them then that only makes me like them more! Arch support is the key box I need to tick tho' so probably a non-starter.

I've been this 🤏 close to buying some Crocs for fucking months. I'm hoping the urge will pass soon, Cloud Slides are doing a good job of redirecting me ATM.

I like them woven ones perfect summer vibes. d o tey come in daft colour's ?

I'm really into them too. Big Mayfly energy.

I really like the yellow, not sure I could wear but very nice. I've found a place in Brissy that sells the white, will pop in for a look tomorrow.

Black and orange 🍊 😍 love the yellow but like you not sure I'll carry them off. Really like the white too.

Rasta colours would absolutely smack! ♥️💛💚

Oh yes.

Anyway, I look forward to falling in love with them at Laced then realising the footbed is completely inappropriate for an old man with flat feet. Don't get old, Guyz.

These are working out okay tho', I'm not trapped in a demonic New Balance universe after all.

Fingers crossed they fit like a glass slipper. You shall goto the ball!

Send pics on foot. Yellow will match my yellow ACG hat.

Summertime only tho', that sole unit was obvs not designed for Lahndahn. 😬🌊👟

Can you get some orthotic insoles with arch support?

You're an orthotic insole.

@dancing james Yes, I have two pairs, but they don't work on all shoes, they can push my heel right out of some (actually, most) trainers. It's a bit hit and miss.

I want to support you, ha, in this decision. But I can't.

Maybe it's because it's the start of winter, and it's wet here, and all I can see is impracticality and wet feet.
I think the yellow is the best option. Out of a poor set of options.

My default is black, obvs, but that white midsole is giving me superlame vibes. I think it has to be yellow. I'll report back tomorrow, stay TNd. Lol.
