Men's trainers may seem easy to compare at first glance. But small differences in fit, materials and sole can make a big difference to how they feel in everyday use. For example, a pair that looks sturdy in the product photos may come up narrow, offer little ventilation or be less suitable for long walks.
For men looking for one pair to wear to work, while shopping, around town and with casual outfits, there are three pitfalls to watch out for:
First, check whether a model is described as normal, regular or standard fit. Width matters too. For example, several Skechers models in this selection have a shoe width of D, while the Skechers Escape Plan 51591 BBK 45 is listed as width G in the product information.
Ideally, measure your feet at the end of the day, when they may be slightly larger. Compare your measurements with the size guide for the model. If you're looking for trainers in sizes 42 to 47, check not only that your size is technically available, but also that it's offered in your chosen colour and style.
Lace-ups generally offer a more adjustable fit than slip-ons. Men's slip-on trainers are handy when you want to get your shoes on quickly, but pay extra attention to the heel fit and the stretch in the upper.
For everyday wear, you'll often come across three material options:
Black men's trainers are practical for everyday wear, while grey or navy styles create a softer contrast with lighter clothes. If you're looking for sporty men's trainers, consider mesh panels if you want to wear them indoors, on your commute or for light sports activities.
A rubber outsole can offer grip and durability, but the tread pattern matters too. A flat sole, as found on many casual men's trainers, is best suited to wearing around town. A treaded sole makes more sense for walks on uneven ground.
Also check whether the insole is removable. The insoles in several of the models below are fixed, which may be important if you use your own insoles. “Memory Foam” is featured in models such as the Skechers Burns, Summits and Track. According to the product descriptions, these have a fixed textile insole with Memory Foam. Treat this as a product specification, not a universal guarantee of personal comfort.
Why it suits this profile: A black low-top trainer for everyday wear, with laces, a heel loop and mesh panels. The standard fit in width D makes the product specifications straightforward for anyone looking for their first pair.
The product information specifies size 42, a standard fit, width D and a non-removable Memory Foam insole. So you don't have to rely solely on vague claims about comfort.

Why it suits this profile: The adidas Samba OG men's trainer combines a leather upper with suede overlays, a textile lining and a gum rubber cupsole. It's a good choice if you're looking for a smart casual style for wearing around town.
The product details specify the materials, sole type, standard fit and foot length for each size. This makes the model easier to assess than judging it by its retro look alone.

Why it suits this profile: This model is designed for everyday wear and light walks. The product description mentions a shock-absorbing midsole, rubber outsole, mesh side panel and water-repellent material.
The model details not only the Memory Foam, but also the sole construction, upper material and G width. This gives you more information to help decide whether it's right for longer days on your feet.

Why it suits this profile: This men's slip-on trainer has a textile upper, a fixed Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole and a treaded rubber sole. The stated fit is standard, and the product information says size 44 is true to size.

We've put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Look at the combination of fit, sole construction, ventilation and insole. A model with mesh panels may feel more comfortable in warm weather. For longer walks, a rubber sole with tread and adjustable laces is a practical choice. Also check that the width suits your feet.
The models in this selection are generally described as normal or regular fit. However, width varies between models. For example, the Burns styles have width D, while the Escape Plan is listed as G. So use the size guide for the specific model rather than automatically ordering the same size you wear in another brand.
Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or cloth. Use a suitable care product for leather and suede, and test it on an inconspicuous area first. Leave wet shoes to dry at room temperature and avoid direct heat. Clean textile styles according to the washing and care advice on the product page; some models should only be wiped with a damp cloth.
