Men's Ladies Karrimor Traveller Shoes

Karrimor Traveller [Supa] are specifically made for walking and everyday wear. First off, they are not waterproof. Second, the soles do not have a big, thick, deeply grooved tread. It's actually rather smooth compared to some of the other pairs of Karrimor that are more geared towards heavy duty activities and terrain.

So, what have Karrimor Traveller got that makes them stand out? Well, they are known for being extremely comfortable, and very thick and chunky. Just because they are made more for casual everyday wear it doesn't mean that these trainers can't be worn on a hike or trail.

They are definitely tough enough for the task of an all day, light, dry hike on grass land or a trail. They are cheap to buy as well.

Karrimor Traveller trainers are unisex and also come pretty small sized in general because of how thick the uppers are. So they can feel a bit tighter than what can be described as a snug fit. It is recommended that you buy a half size, or full size bigger than you would usually take if available.

Some people have reported that even though they bought a whole size bigger Karrimor Traveller were still too tight fitting. Something to remember if you are considering buying a pair. Other Karrimor worth considering: Summit | Bodmin Low.

Skechers Arcade Chat Trainers

Skechers were first and foremost a very popular brand in the USA, worn by hundreds of thousands of people. Now they are also very popular here in the UK, and it's easy to see why. Skechers make some great footwear and there are so many different Skechers styles available for men, women, and children.

Skechers Arcade Chat make a nice shoe for everyday wear. They are an excellent walking shoe, very comfortable, and due to the considerable amount of colours available there's a pair to fit most types of clothing styles and colours.

In terms of popularity, the grey, blue and black pairs are the most in demand. These pairs are a little harder to find online in all sizes, but the cream Skechers Arcade Chat are widely available on many online shopping outlets such as eBay, where the cream pairs are for sale in abundance. Not demanding a high price makes them a real bargain for the money.

Like the Black Original style Vans, the black Skechers Arcade Chat are quite well known for being used as footwear for working environments, such as the retail and food sectors. With them being black in colour and very comfortable, they are much preferred over normal shoes. The difference between the Vans and Skechers is that the Skechers are much more substantial, with a much thicker sole, thicker upper, and are generally (or usually) much more hard wearing overall.

 Skechers Arcade Chat in Black

So, if you want trainers for work and you are torn between buying Black Vans or Black Skechers, it depends on how much you favour longevity. The Vans won't last as long because they are made from Canvas, and have a thinner sole. As a result they will wear out faster when being worn all day everyday while at work.

Manufacturers Fault

One thing to be aware of with Skechers Arcade Chat is that they were made with a manufacturers fault. The fault is the sole. It has a piece missing. Whether you buy them online from eBay, Amazon, or buy them from an official High street shop that sells Skechers the fault is present on them all. So it's not a case of any seller selling fakes or seconds, they were actually made like this by Skechers in error.

Most people probably won't even notice this fault. It's not a major cosmetic annoyance because it isn't visible when wearing the trainers. However, after a few months of them being worn it can lead to premature wear, and the surrounding sole can come loose because of the fault, creating a weak spot, resulting in the under sole around the affected area flapping around as you walk.
