well after 1 years worth of riding my s&m orchid trainers are pretty much knackered

they have been great for riding in and i cant fault them atall

the soles have been shreaded by my dmr v12 pedals & the left trainer's side has been ripped open by my profiles

WOW, those are pretty used!

Mine are like new, but I have only just started riding in them. They were my chillin shoes untill a few months ago ..... when I got a new pair to replace them

wow yours are way worse than mine,I would like another pair myself.Got a question how much larger than your normal size shoe did you have to get for them to fit? I wear a 9- 9.5 in most shoes so I got a 9.5 in the orchids and my toe was just short of being jammed up.So I am thinking getting a 1 inch bigger shoe next time a 10

tx maxx near me have loads of trainers in 5.5/6 but no decent ones in size 10

went to 2 tx maxx's Treds, jjb, sport & ski and even tried a couple of independant shoe shops and none had anything i liked, might have to take a trip to scum or order off the net

Hells bells, I don't wanna be a preacher, but that list has gotta be the wrong way round, surely the independant bmx/skate/shoe shop is the first stop, then the bread heads at tk - treds - jjb(?!!) etc last?

Buying those Orchids shows your support for the scene, so does using your local specialist shop, use em or lose em! (but I know the prices at the maxx, tiz hard to pass up, but most independants will have some shoes on sale at some time )
