Title: Which trainers for summer?
Post by: RO-Sheen on June 15, 2012, 09:53:54 pm
I have great goretex boots for winter but what do you recommend for summer? i bought some northface goretex trainers last year. I thought Goretex were all waterproof but these certainly werent! they are now beginning to fall apart so need to start looking again!
So what have you found are waterproof, cool and durable?

watch out if you buy online from www.sportsdirect.com , because they peddle some  fakes  online whereas in their shops its the real deal (i think)on the shelves .  how i discovered is   iv bought a few trainers from them ,all the same model but the onliners  are fake ,easy to spot too if you compare like for like

. i explained this to a senior salesbod in their shop and he had a close look and said he couldnt understand it -yeah right

 they never respond to my emails queries on the subject , im thinking they might make tens of thousands by doing this ,perhaps millions !

I wear these summer and winter, they last forever, never leak and are extremely comfortable with a pair on insoles in them
