A new pair of trainers and clogs can seem easy to find online. However, photos and marketing copy can hide important differences. A shoe that looks good may be too narrow, offer little grip or be unsuitable for the purpose you bought it for. This applies to women’s trainers, men’s trainers, children’s trainers and casual shoes.
Pay particular attention to three common pitfalls:
By carrying out the right checks beforehand, you can reduce the risk of a disappointing purchase and choose more confidently between white trainers, black trainers, vegan trainers, lightweight shoes, running shoes and walking shoes.
First, check whether the shoe has a regular, narrow or wide fit. For example, the Skechers Bobs models in this selection are listed as having a regular fit and D width. The product information recommends ordering your usual size. This is a useful starting point, but if you are unsure, measure your foot length as well.
The PELLIOT running shoes include a size chart with foot lengths in millimetres. Size 37 corresponds to 235 mm and size 38 to 240 mm. The description also distinguishes between a standard version and a slim version. This is relevant if your feet are narrower or you often experience pressure at the sides in other shoes.
Pay extra attention to growth when buying for children, but do not automatically choose several sizes larger. Children’s trainers that are too roomy can cause the foot to slide around. Check the fastening, heel and space around the toes.
A textile or mesh upper can feel more breathable than fully enclosed synthetic material. Mesh is used in, among others, the PELLIOT shoes and New Balance 574 models. According to the product description, the New Balance WL574EVN37 combines suede overlays with breathable mesh sections.
A smooth synthetic outer is often easy to clean with a damp cloth. The LACOSTE ACELINE 96 is listed as having a premium synthetic leather upper with a textile lining. White trainers generally require more care than darker models, as dirt and signs of wear are more noticeable.
Always check the care instructions. Several models must not be put in the washing machine. According to the product information, the Skechers Bobs Geo-New Aesthetics BBK should be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap, then left to air-dry. Avoid direct heat, as it can damage the materials and affect the shape.
The sole is one of the factors that determines what a pair is suitable for. Rubber is used in many casual shoes and can provide grip on everyday surfaces. According to the product specifications, the New Balance WL574EVN37 has a rubber outsole and a lightweight EVA midsole.
Running and walking require additional features. The PELLIOT Running Shoes have an EVA midsole and a ROCKYTEC rubber outsole. According to the product description, this design is intended for various surfaces, including asphalt, loose ground and rocky paths. However, check that the version you choose actually has the stated sole variant; the description notes that some versions feature Vibram Megagrip.
A clog serves a different purpose from a sports shoe. According to the product information, the Crocs Classic Clog is water-resistant, has ventilation holes and a pivoting heel strap. This makes this type of footwear practical for the garden, beach, swimming pool and short everyday trips. A clog is not the right choice for prolonged running or technical walking routes.
Why it suits this profile: A low beige lace-up model for everyday use, work, shopping and leisure.
The product information specifies the fit, D width, materials and sole material. This means you can assess your choice instead of relying on colour alone.
Textile upper, rubber sole, regular fit and lace fastening.
Why it suits this profile: A navy retro model for anyone who wants to combine a distinctive style with materials suited to everyday wear.
The combination of suede overlays, mesh, an EVA midsole and a rubber outsole is clearly described. You can therefore see which features support the general comfort claims.
Breathable mesh sections, lightweight EVA and a grippy rubber outsole.
Why it suits this profile: Designed for people who run, walk or regularly switch between asphalt and off-road terrain.
The description lists foot lengths, fit options, an EVA midsole and a ROCKYTEC outsole. However, check the specific variant and size before buying.
Mesh and woven upper, EVA cushioning and a rubber outsole for various surfaces.
We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Choose women’s trainers or men’s trainers when you are looking for a closed shoe for work, school, travel or everyday walking. Models such as Vans Authentic, Vans Old Skool, New Balance 574, Skechers trainers and Lacoste trainers mainly differ in their profile, material, sole and fastening.
A clog is more practical when you want to slip your shoes on quickly, spend a lot of time outdoors or need footwear that is easy to clean. The Crocs Classic Clog White, Grey, Green or Navy has ventilation holes and a pivoting heel strap. According to Crocs, the white and navy versions contain 25% plant-based material, calculated using a mass-balance method and certified by ISCC PLUS. This is a product claim made by Crocs; check the latest product specifications when buying.
Measure both feet from heel to toe and use the size chart for the model you have chosen. Also check the stated fit and shoe width. If you are between sizes, the seller’s returns information may help, but avoid ordering based solely on the size of an old pair.
That depends on the sole, heel strap and surface. According to the product description, a Crocs Classic Clog is water-resistant, lightweight and easy to clean. For smooth floors, long walks or intensive sport, compare the grip and support offered by the specific model.
Remove dirt as soon as possible with a soft cloth and mild cleaning product. Do not use bleach unless the manufacturer explicitly permits it. Allow shoes to dry naturally and keep them away from radiators and prolonged direct sunlight. This helps them retain their shape and colour for longer.
