A pair of men’s trainers often has to do several jobs in the Netherlands: commuting, shopping, walking, working out and sometimes a short run. But a pair that looks great can disappoint once you’ve been wearing it for a while. The problem usually isn’t the appearance, but the fit, lack of ventilation or a sole that isn’t suited to how you plan to use them.
Black men’s trainers are easy to style, but colour tells you nothing about the fit or cushioning. Always check the upper material, the type of insole and the sole construction. A synthetic upper can be easy to care for, while mesh panels can help improve airflow.
Trainers with memory foam can feel comfortable for everyday wear. That doesn’t automatically make them suitable for running. When choosing men’s running shoes, factors such as the midsole, weight, flexibility and grip all matter. A soft insole alone doesn’t determine how a shoe performs under repeated impact.
A size 44 shoe from one brand may fit differently from another model in the same size. So check the stated fit, foot length and width. If you’re looking for size 45 shoes, it’s worth checking whether the shoe is described as a regular, roomy or small fit. adidas sizes may also include half sizes such as 42 2/3 or 45 1/3.
Laces give you more options for adjusting the tension across the instep. That can be handy if your feet swell slightly during the day. A regular fit suits many feet, but always check the size guide. If a shoe is too short, loosening the laces won’t fix it.
Check the insole, too. A non-removable insole leaves less room for your own insole. A removable one can be more convenient if you use a different insole.
Synthetic leather, textile and mesh are common materials for everyday wear. Mesh panels can help with airflow, but they don’t automatically make a shoe waterproof. Check the care instructions as well. Some models should only be cleaned with a damp cloth and must not be machine-washed.
A rubber outsole can provide grip and durability, but the tread also affects how a shoe feels on tiles, tarmac or a sports floor. A casual model with a sturdy sole isn’t the same as a running shoe. If you run regularly, models such as adidas running shoes, with a specific midsole and running-focused construction, make more sense than general-purpose casual men’s trainers.
Bear in mind that brands’ claims about comfort or cushioning come from the product description. According to adidas product information, certain Supernova models are designed for daily training or short to middle-distance runs. Treat this as a product specification and choose according to how you’ll use the shoes.

Use this quick checklist before you order:
If you’re looking for one pair to wear to the office, around town and for light activities, comfortable men’s trainers with a regular fit and neutral colour are often a good choice. For regular running training, a model with a running-specific construction is a more suitable option.
It varies by model. Always check the stated fit and size guide. Some models fit true to size, while others may be roomier or narrower. A half size, such as 45 1/3, can help if you’re between sizes.
Their lifespan depends on how often you wear them, your body weight, the surface, how well you care for them and what you use them for. A pair worn for everyday walking will wear differently from sports shoes used several times a week. Replace your shoes when the sole shows uneven wear, the upper starts coming away or the cushioning no longer feels comfortable.
Not necessarily. Memory foam usually describes the insole material. For running, you should also consider the midsole, outsole, fit, ventilation and the model’s official intended use. So don’t assume a general-purpose casual trainer is suitable for intensive running training.
