Looking For Black Comfy Lightweight Trainers

dogstarheaven

I am needing a pair of really well-cushioned lightweight trainers for retail work. I've currently been wearing my 10yo Campers (very well-made baseball-like leather trainer from Spain) in the past 2 weeks but they've started to rip as my work involves a lot of walking and moving heavy cages around (cages with brakes that you have to kick to operate). I've noticed once I slip into my Asics (running shoe) trainers at the w/e, my feet are so comforted and light that I feel like I'm walking on air! As I have recently been diagnosed with fallen arches, I need to wear lace-ups and something with a good comfy heel. I was wondering if there is such a trainer on the market that is durable and lightweight that would be good for me? Also, it needs to be BLACK as it has to be suitable for work, so nothing with a light-coloured sole.

Can anyone help me at all? I don't mind the price as my foot health is more important than anything atm, as my feet and legs ache after a hard day's work!:o

(Go to online sports store, type in 'black' and refine to footware )

I recommend though getting a decent pair of shoes and then getting a fitted insole which works with your feet as it could be that even trainers are not enough and could cause problems if your not getting the right support.

If you don't mind spending £60+ you can go to the nike ID store. Pick a pair of shoes that you like the feel of (after trying them on in a running store) then pick an all black design.

I got some nice-looking ones from Sports Direct, but they turned out to be less than comfy after a while. As for whether they are comfy or not, well that rather depends on your feet, but I find that putting some gel insoles in them helps a lot, with the ones I mentioned above I got some gel insoles that Lidl happened to be doing and I am still wearing them quite a few months later, hardly know I have them on!
