I’ve been wearing skate trainers for the last twenty odd years, and whilst they’re usually super-comfy I think it’s time I made the jump to something a little more …dad-propriate.

Only issue is that I have no idea where to start with this stuff. I want a trainer, something that is comfortable and can be worn at the soft-play but also when I’m going to the supermarket.

Can you help a brother out?

    ASICS is a Japanese brand that does really well striking the balance between durability and price. They have styles that range from retro to modern. Just find some thing you like and that fits your needs. If it’s specifically for exercise, then go for some bright colors. Have fun.

      Lyte III OG and GT-II’s are clutch. Since OP mentioned trainer, it got me thinking about my Nike Air Trainer 1’s which I’m really liking.

      Honorable Mention: Asics Japan S is a nice pick for a neutral looking low profile in black or white. Think low dunks or Jordan’s without the Nike logo.

      The Lyte III’s come in grey or tan/beige i believe. It’s a sexy profile for that color, which would be neutral and match everything. Don’t even need a lace swap on them. Perfect length.

      I’d classify Asics Lyte III and GT II as comfortable walking shoes. Japan S and Nike’s Air Trainer 1’s are comfortable loitering shoes.

      The absolute best trainers for runners and I will murder any mofo who disagrees and hang your bleeding carcass atop my door.
