Title: Badly made …!
Post by: apc2010 on March 06, 2024, 03:42:38 PM
I am beginning to think that child labour standards are slipping ….the last three pairs of brand trainers ..adidas, etc ..had not been anywhere as comfortable as they used to be …! Also bought a pair of adidas gazelles and they lasted less than a year ..! And not work wear either …?

And they are not cheap now ..! .. cussing:

Someone said to me the other day that you are not a parent until you have carried a rigid and screaming toddler out of a shop under your arm, like a surfboard.

It’s true  noooo:

In all honesty if you want comfortable and long lasting look at Berhgaus, Karrimor, Salomon and Merrill. They all do trail shoes as well as walking boots and whenever I've bought one of theirs in the past they have lasted me years.

I've still got and use a pair of Timberland walking boots I bought in February 2002.  Had to change the laces on them about 10 years ago.
