    I ordered some on Sat for my OH so will see if they come. They do say £750 as the total plus delivery though, so that's all I'm expecting them to be. Told my brother about this on Sunday, but on Sat he'd been out and bought a pair of trainers for over £100 and was weraing them Sunday. Ouch, lol


    £750 for a pair of trainers .. and you are on about your brother spending £100.:rotfl:

    They are a bit on the "snug" side though .. sure they will loosen up with a bit of wear.

    For those of you wondering about using the codes you may find this post interesting reading, this is reffering to littlewoods but as they are the same company it will be for LX too.

    Always buy Adidas one size above your normal size.

    funny you should say that, since I was a kid many years ago I always found adidas to be very tight so stopped buying them. Even now I never try adidas on due to them being very tight around the mid foot area.
    saying that though I couldnt resist this offer so bought two pairs one size above normal and they are still tight around the mid foot, very slender fittings. I did find that one pair was slightly looser than the other

    My Adi racers have just turned up and (bought one size bigger) they fit perfectly and look even better knowing that JD are selling them for £70. :j Am very tempted to purchase another pair in a different colour, but must stop......

    Mine just arrived about 20 minutes ago, yes they are a touch snug but for the money they are absolutely fantastic, especially as I was considering buying these exact ones for £70 from elsewhere.

    My delivery note also said the price was £19 and seems to have 'lost' the £15 discount for this being my first order but I appear to have got free delivery!

    I just rang LXdirect on the 0800 number given earlier and asked what had happened to my £15 discount. I was asked what the code was that I had used and fortunately had made a note of it, the woman put me on hold for a while and said that the £15 discount had finished yesterday and they were unable to add it to my account now so i could return the trainers or she could put the latest offer against my account which is £10 discount and free postage.

    Guess which option I chose!!

    So my £70 trainers are going to actually cost me £9. I am over the moon.
    MSE strikes again.

    Thank you OP.
