So has Harry Kane, I discovered this morning. So they can't be all that bad. |  |

Unless you are 14 or under you shouldn’t feel anything about it. He can wear Crocs for all I care if he plays the way he has done for the past year. | |

Well, on one hand, it's ace that a brand looking for paid advertisers of their wears have singled out Chappers for a deal, on the other hand, Sketchers are missing jigsaw piece in the Benidorm holiday outfit where a quick trip to Sportsdirect, sees you in a Muscle Sports vest, Lonsdale 3/4 trousers and a pair of Slazenger sunnies. | |

I do find it odd they've gone with a single model at £195. Hardly appeals to the mass markets. What Adidas and Nike have always done well is have varied price points for each boot line. | | | |

There's no T in Skechers.
Not that I want to give away who I work for, but I look forward to meeting Chappers and possibly Harry Kane at our next Christmas do. |  |

Hi Jamie. |
Jamie was at the last Christmas do. I had the surreal experience of being hauled up on stage to sing Jingle Bells, along side him, Denise Lewis, and accompanied on the piano by Myleene Klass. | |

I have a pair of Skechers with memory foam soles. Have to say they are really comfy! There are far more chavvy brands of trainers to me. Reebok, Ellesse for example.
I don't get the Skechers hate. I will add though, I wouldnt wear any kind of sports trainer for casual. For a dress trainer, I wear Adidas Gazelles or similar. |  |

Skechers focus on comfort obviously has earned them a rep for being an older persons choice. But there is quite a range out there and there are other countries worldwide where the brand is popular with the kids. Really huge with the Tween market in the USA.
The move into the football boots market is a strange one and risky IMO, especially with a £200 price tag. As has been pointed out, at least the likes of Nike provide cheaper options in their range. But they seem to be doing the business for Kane, he's scored a bunch o' goals in them already. I understand there was extensive testing and development done there.
We had the first consignment at the distribution centre in Bury weeks in advance and were not allowed to breathe a word until the announcement. | |

They do a safety boot that some of our lads really rate. Light when on your feet all day but with the toe-tection. | | | |

Dear Dadsnet,
I recently read that trainers are now formal wear and mustn't be worn casual. Is this correct?
Am I OK in Clarks leather boots for work?
Worried,

The boots appearance and technology is a blatant copy of Nike, which is unsurprising, when you learn that Skechers nicked a few people from, you guessed it, Nike, to develop the boots for them.
As pointed out, the difference is that Nike offer a large range that encompass the technology at lower price points and at the end of the day, the Nike brand is simply never going to lose its boot market share to Skechers. [Post edited 27 Sep 2023 12:57]

It's a bit of a left turn for a brand that seems a bit "mumsy" but I think they tried deals with lots of popstars in the 00's to try and break out of that market.
Unless they're Puma Kings they're not proper boots anyway. |  |

One the one hand you own Skechers, on the other you're mocking Clarks.

That made me smile. I've worked with Skechers on transportation for more than 15 years, and the "no T in Skechers" comes up so often.
For one, I'm happy Chappers has his deal with Skechers. I know most of the guys in Manhattan Beach very well, and they are a genuine lovely bunch of owners and management with a real family feel and attitude. Would much rather be associated with this brand, than other footwear behemoths.
Enjoy the Christmas bash! |  | | |
