    I absolutely hate shoes. Always runners for me or occasionally boots if going off trail or when the weather is really bad.

    So what is the footwear preference of people in AH?

    Nope. Only wear tracksuit bottoms occasionally when at home for purely comfort reasons.

    Flip-flop on the left, ski-boot on the right.

    Runners mainly. Boots sometimes and shoes only when I really have to.

    When I talk about runners now I'm not talking about white trainers. I mean nice runners usually black suede - these for example.

    Or these.

    Great for winter but a bit heavy during the summer, no?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 383 ✭✭HUNK


    Skate shoes (DC) or runners

    Wear shoes only if I have to wear a suit or some shite (maybe to a bar or club as well)

    Shoes for work with suit.
    Runners for squash and exercising. Used to wear them casually decades ago during the boot-runner phase.
    Boots for casual wear with jeans.

    Love my hightops. When I'm wearing trackies tho, high tops don't really work, so just wear runners. Wear Jeans more and more nowdays, and just wear shorts/Tracksuit bottoms cut to 3 1/4 length when I'm hanging around outside/the gaff. Doubt I'll buy another Tracksuit bottoms again

    I wear things on my feet when they're appropriate.

    Shoes at work.
    Canvas shoes/ Skate shoes at college.
    Runners when doing sport/Running.
    Cycling shoes when cycling.

    I'm wearing "the three-wheeled car from Only Fools and Horses" slippers now infront of the fire. :pac:

    Runners for exercise or if in the apartment. Shoes for anything else.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,644 ✭✭✭theg81der
