All these names of trainers and I have to admit that I am not fashion conscious. I look in the shop and if I like the look of them- I try them on. 15 years ago I bought my first trainers and I was Ostracised by my daughters. They were " Hitec" and I presume that are as big a NO_NAME over there as they are here. Then I bought a pair of Converse and they were not as comfortable as The Hitec. Being a Mountain biker- I went to a Bike shop and they had Van's trainers. Got a pair and my daughters did not know the name so trouble again- till the boyfroends asked where I got the Vans as they are not available in the UK. Then followed a couple of pairs of Reebock black leather trainers that I love.
I still have 4 pairs of trainers in the garage but for some reason- the pair that have disappeared are the Hitec's. Girl power in my household made them get lost within 6 months of buying them.
