  • How much do you normally spend?

    How much do you normally spend for a pair of trainers? (running shoes, sneakers etc etc whatever you call them)?

    Convert it into english money please. Roughly $1.72 to £1.

    I am looking to spend about £65 on a new pair. And I was wondering what everyone else spends. I am aware that things are generally cheaper in the States than they are in England, but never mind.

    It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




    I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

      I like to stay under $50-$60 US, so that's like 30-40 pounds?

      I like New Balance and can always find some at DSW or another shoe warehouse type place that are being clearanced out!

                      Thanks, but i have taken care of them already. If that happens again, please send a mod or an admin a pm, or click on the "report this thread" icon. As we arent always guaranteed to spot things.

                          Thanks, PM's are definitely the best way to get my attention.

                          Thanks for you help.

                            I'm completely lost here (in reference to the last few posts)

                            The price varies.
                            Sometimes last season's shoes are on sale as the new ones are introduced, but at the specialty shops, they are rarely reduced significantly.

                            They can be upwards to $200 (canadian) or more for the "named" brands that are supposed to be absolutely phenomenol.

                            I always liked New Balance or Saucony, but lately I've had a pair of Asics that really fit nicely. REally depends on the type of foot you have (there's places on the Internet to pick types of shoes for the type of foot you have), and whether you pronate in or out (or something like that).
