I have owned two pairs of Adidas, some superstars from Barnzleys shop in Tisbury Court
which came with a complimentary set of fat laces
and these.......
....which took me round Mexico & still looked like new after a rub down with a damp sponge and a brush.

I bought these the other day, not things of jaw dropping beauty, but they're a nice update on the superstar design - and much more cushioned and supportive. They look fairly smart, and they did me a whole night dancing to hardcore techno in a club with a shitty concrete floor without having shin splints and fucked knees in the morning, so all good!
Serious tread is serious.Serious tread. I don't want to get them dirty yet.

My Mum says putting shoes on the table is bad luck. But then she also says I'd laugh to see a pudd'n crawl.

I'm sure there's a sound reason for the shoes on table thing, like you don't want dog-shit on the thing you eat of...
Those are the only trainers I have ever owned that have never been worn outside, not even once.
Come to think of it, they're the only trainers I've ever done any training in too.

So many particulars. So many questions.
I always thought the superstition came from the only time shoes is on the table is when layin out a dead man

Wikipedia link:
An uncommon superstition is that bad luck will come to a person who places shoes on a table.
Another belief common in the North of England is that the tradition relates to the coal mining industry. When a miner died in a colliery accident, his shoes were placed on the table as a sign of respect. By extension, doing so was seen as tempting fate or simply as bad taste.[1]
In the world of theatre, putting shoes on a dressing room table is considered by some to bring the risk of a bad performance, just as "Break a leg!" is considered good luck.[2] Also described as an old wives' tale, the superstition may date back to medieval times.[3] Some sources ascribe the origin to the fact that criminals were hanged while still wearing their shoes.[4] It may have something to do with death, and the idea of placing a new pair of shoes on the table would signify that someone had just died, or you would have bad luck for the rest of the day, quarrel with someone or lose your job.

In Thailand it's incredibly rude to sit with the soles of your feet facing someone, that must be dog-shit related, at least?
