Ditto. Shame they re-styled them, my new pair feel bulkier, despite getting them a size smaller

I got the adi racers too - but with velcro - because my mum's never around to tie my laces!

I'm not a fan of the speedcat - much prefer the booties type. Also they remind me to much of the gym shoes I had to wear in primary school!

I bought these eight years ago because they matched the car.

Use them for walking Thor in the snow.

Free to a good home when we aint able to do that anymore..........

But I am good at cooking Chinese. Part of tonights banquet, Peking Duck and Chilli Crab.

I'm another for the Adidas Goodyear things, but mine are getting pretty worn. I like the curved heal, and they are thin enough to get some feel, plus you don't look a but rhubarb when you go outside with them on! Still, I much prefer the look of my Converse...

anyone used these sparco things for long distance yet? I get sore/dead heels after lots of miles.... Any chance the Sparcos alleviate this??

Those Nike Total Football Ninety trainers are wicked, very comfy and cool for pedals. I think.

Oh yeah, not the pair WITH studs.

Adidas Samba's.

Mine have a fourth stripe for heel n'toe.

I also have a pair of Sparco leather race boots (in grey/carbon). They have the small logo so not quite so 'in-your-face'. They do look a bit funny with shorts though...
