    What are people's favourite trainers, for style, fit, comfort etc.
    My own go to are normally Nike, but the most comfortable I've ever had are KSwiss.
    Any recommendations ?

    Asics gel 180 are the comfiest trainers I've had in years but the price has jumped up. I usually wear Adidas originals but they are too flat or air max 90's but they squeek like * for some reason and it's annoying. Just got a pair of New Balance Tektrel and so far they seem ok but going to stick a pair of insoles in them.

    Brooks are really comfy but the toes go really quickly

    Stay clear of tn's they too heavy you'll be over encumboured.
    Most comfiest nikes are air max 95's imo.

    I fancy a pair of those ASICS gel ones think the right colours (white/light blue /turquoise etc) look smart as *.Bit pricey but still buy 95’s so who cares.

    Adidas ZX 750’s as well - comfy as * and go with anything - trackers,shorts,tights..jeans.

    I'm proper bad for trainers. Got quite a few expensive ones and far too many.....my phone gallery is flooded with ones I bookmark ffs :giggle1:

    The nike p6000's are smart and comfy as *. Can wear them with a smart pair of combats, chinos or with trackies, shorts....gym etc. Couple of green pairs out the now if you're wanting Celtic colours the cargo khakis. Half size down..

    On running cloudswift trainers are comfy as anything but bit pricier. Again can wear with anything really. Half size up..

    @Twisty been looking at the gel 130's some nice ones but they're taking the * with these ay. I'm tempted to bag a pair but I'm no paying more than 110 (i realise I'm contradicting myself a bit as the on's are more) for a pair of asics. 170 I've seen some :giggle1: And seems every * wears them down here at the minute..

    I got them when before they became acceptable to wear tbf and only paid about 80 I think. Just all black. Light as anything and proper comfy but I ended up with a tear in the fabric on the top so that was the end of them. Would still buy a pair but not for £150-200. Wouldn't pay that for any trainers.

    The gel 360 must be properly comfy.

    Onitsuka Tigers are great trainers as well but again they've went up in price and the sole wears away too quick on them.

    Main thing is the colour. If they don't match with green & white then there's no point
