    Seems to be about 15-20% off the price, got a pair of size 11's for €92 down from €115. Incredibly comfortable runners for the gym etc.

    £15.99 shipping from sports direct to Ireland, its £3.99 to the UK. You would probably want to be buying a lot of stuff together to justify the postage.

    FYI, the o'neills outlet factory on the long mile road in dublin also sells these cheap. picked up a pair for €55 a while back, very comfortable indeed!

    Got myself a pair of azzurri trainers for only €20 in sports world blanchardstown
    Other half also got Women's Filas for only €20. IMO the op's purchase was no bargain....

    I find Amazon and Javari are by far the cheapest. Free delivery too.

    Those savings they're showing are real. Kayano's for £50 + £15.99 postage is a serious bargain. Cheapest I've seen online and you'd be doing well to get them in a b&m for less than €100 in Ireland

    FWIW, Asics runners in terms of comfort for jogging / gym are absolutely incomparable to most.

    Also FWIW, there's quite a difference between certain types of running shoes. Get a gait test done if you're serious about it.

    I think you would be doing well to find a man in ireland who takes size 6 or 7 trainers :D

    +1. Most mcelverys do it for free. No point splashing out if the trainers are the wrong shape for your feet.

    There are similarly reduced kinetics on there but I'm sure the deal wouldn't be solely of interest to men anyhow

    they are incredibly comfortable but awful looking suppose you have to take the good with the bad


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,540 ✭✭✭✭2smiggy


    great brand of runner, only use them for the treadmill really, and some road walking.

    agreed they look awful, could not imagine going to the pub in them on a weekend out :D

    was there 8 years ago and in new york
    it was an awful long time afterwards before i bought any
    item of clothing in a shop here
    i just couldnt bring myself to pay the extra or rather
    double the price which is no exaggeration
    buying reebook, buying two and getting the second pair half price
    or buying two pairs and getting the third free and the price
    of one pair being near half what you pay here
    what i wouldn't give to get back to woodbury common :pac:
