A colleague came into work today wearing Adidas hi tops and a bright red Ellesse t-shirt. He's 36! :lol:

Not bursting out laughing and not showering my laptop in spat coffee took quite an effort.

Here's the fuckers! What you all think?

Everything about them is absolutely wrong. Maybe a city skater type in their early teens could pull them off?

I've just been in town and saw a fella in luminous yellowy green Hi tops. Several people turned in my direction as I blurted out "No way mate,get tae f**k. Unaware of the make as I was across the road from him.

One of the drivers at work turned up in these today.

Hi Tek are meant to make decent hill walking boots. I wouldn't have a problem with a pair if they were comfy. Also, fair play to them for still chucking trainers out, I thought they would have given up years ago!

I've got a few pairs of walking boots. One pair (Berghaus) cost me £140, and another (Hi Tek) cost me £30.

I walked probably the most difficult walk in my life in the latter, and it was a skoosh, doubt I would have managed it with the expensive pair!

Apologies if this is a really stupid question, but I'm needing to clean a pair of suede gazelles after a night out. I remember someone said sugar soap was good. Is the sugar soap that you would used to clean walls before painting alright, or do I need a specific type of sugar soap?

Sugar soap is okay, just follow the instructions. The latest thing seems to be the Sneakers ER brand but I haven't used it. Personally, the Kiwi Kids suede cleaner sorts mine right out and is only about three quid.

Pour a kettle of boiling water over them and set about them with a brillo pad.

You're welcome.

This. I cleaned up about 3 pairs of adidas for going on holiday, made a sugar soap mixture up, scrubbed them with a hard brush, them removed the excess water and dirt with a sponge, and them wiped them with a damp cloth, and left them to dry over night. Came out just grand. I've a pair of handball spezials that got covered in paint that I couldn't clean, but I'm going to contract a guy on facebook that does restoration stuff and see if could re-dye them for me.
