Buying trainers seems simple, until you realise after a few weeks that they pinch, get dirty quickly or are not suitable for the purpose you chose them for. A low price, well-known brand name or noticeable cushioning does not automatically mean a shoe is right for your feet and daily routine.
So pay particular attention to these three common pitfalls:
Preferably measure your foot at the end of the day, when your feet may need a little more room. Measure from the heel to the longest toe and compare this length with the product’s size chart. Also check the width. A standard width is not suitable for every foot; some models are available in wider or narrower versions.
Also consider the fastening system:
A specific example is the Skechers Relaxed Fit D’Lux Walker. According to the product description, this model offers more room around the forefoot. The version in size 38 is described as coming up large, with advice to order one size smaller. Always check this on the specific product page, as a different model or size may have different advice.
The sole largely determines how suitable a shoe is for asphalt, high streets, school playgrounds, sports fields or unsurfaced paths. A rubber outsole can provide grip and durability, but the thickness and tread pattern remain important.
Choose according to how you plan to use the shoes:
According to the product information, the PELLIOT Running Shoes are designed for use on everything from paved roads to paths. An EVA midsole and ROCKYTEC rubber outsole are mentioned. This makes the model interesting for anyone looking for more grip when walking or trail running, but always check that the version and sole type match your activity.
The choice of material affects breathability, cleaning and wear. Textile and mesh are often lightweight and airy, while leather or synthetic leather may be easier to wipe clean. No material stays clean or in good condition without care.
Before checking out, find out:
For example, the product information for the Vans UA Old Skool states that machine washing and cleaning at high temperatures should be avoided. The Skechers Sport Court 92, on the other hand, can be washed according to the product description at a maximum of 30 degrees on a gentle programme, without bleach or a tumble dryer. Always follow the instructions for the specific model.

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.
Measure both feet and use the measurement of the longer foot. Compare it with the size chart for the model you have chosen. Also read the sizing advice: some trainers are true to size, while other models come up large or small. Take into account the type of socks you wear.
Their lifespan depends on use, body weight, surface, care and material. Everyday casual trainers wear out more quickly when you also use them for running or long walks. Where possible, alternate between two pairs, allow wet shoes to dry naturally and follow the care instructions. Wear to the tread, heel or lining is a practical sign that it may be time to consider a replacement.
They can be, but they show dirt more quickly than black trainers or darker models. Check whether the upper can be wiped clean and avoid products that could damage the material. Textile, leather and synthetic materials each require different cleaning methods. So only choose white trainers for everyday use if you are prepared to keep up with their care.
