K-Swiss Trainers

Posts: 7,143 Forumite
Hi there. Can't find any specific threads about Sports/Tennis trainers (such as K-Swiss) so thought I'd post.
I play tennis a lot and trainers get worn easily so need some good quality K-Swiss Court trainers.
Usually costs between £50 and £70 on the high street which is just way too much. Last time I got a pair of Nike for a bout £30 but they've worn out in a few months.
Can anyone recommend how to get the good quality ones a lot cheaper?
I *think* I'm a size 10 but some trainers are way too tight, so need to be tried on. I was thinking of finding the right pair in a high street, then buying the same pair on the net knowing they fit? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

To be honest K swiss are more fashion trainers now (the ones on the high street anyway) and get worn easily. I had my pair just for wearing for going out with mates and they got worn out within 3 months so i think they would get worn out way quicker considering you want to play tennis in them. The support on them is not very good and i dont think they would help whilst playing tennis as the sides on the trainers r too flimsly and could cause you to go over on the side of your foot and sprain your ankle. Id suggest you get a decent pair of sports trainers (nike, addidas) something like that as they offer alot more support and will help you alot more and also are cheaper.Offical MSE Fantasy League Member:beer:0

Oops sorry for not going into much more detail

I know K-Swiss do "trendy" trainers now but they also have specialised Tennis and Court shoes. They're known for been the best suppliers of Tennis/Court trainers.
So forget about the trendy ones ya see in Schue and places :P But ones in sports shops that are proper court shoes etc....
I wouldnt mind even using Nike/Addidas but once again the good quality ones seem very expensive...

I appreciate the help but was assuming you were talking about the trendy K-Swiss and not the specialised ones:

This pair is not overly attractive but cheap(ish), I have bought from here before and they are pretty good and they often send you discount vouchers, although I haven't had any for a while
