My 4 year old son needs some new trainers.
Ive seen some nice Asics at sportshoes.com but they no longer have a shop or free returns.
Sportsdirect has chavy stuff that looks poor quality at expensive prices. Where can you buy half decent trainers for kids at reasonable prices ie < £25 ?
Decathlon is great for all your kid's sporting needs.
Best place for kids shoes?
Next to a bouncy castle.
(with apologies to Harry Hill)
Otherwise, Decathlon.
Unfortunately with live no where near a Decathlon store.

Yes they do. But they also have decent stuff at reasonable prices.
Sports Direct have some great stuff in store, don't dismiss them as chavvy. My girls have had loads of trainers from there. The elder one (8) now prefers to drag me into JD for new Airmax but the younger one (4) loves Sports Direct, loads of nice trainers, as mentioned above, at great prices, for a 4 yr old. They are both due new trainers next month and the younger one will almost certainly get hers from Sports Direct.
Kind of what I said with less typing 😉
I like Decathlon but have bought stuff from Sports Direct that's been fine. They have Muddy Fox stuff that looks good value - the cheapest padded shorts look rubbish though.
Clarks do properly fitted trainers. Boring I know but they stand a chance of fitting properly which may be important if the child is wearing them for extended periods.
Wot Dez and lodrick said - sports direct is ok of there is no decathlon nearby.
You think that Sports Direct sell stuff that's any different From other sports shops, just because of the Audi-less, track suit clad clientele?
Fair enough. It's your money. Your kids must wreck trainers a lot less than mine then?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you pay twice as much for carrots that still have mud on them? 😆
So far he has used Sainsbury trainers which feel better quality than the shite on offer at sports direct. Never paid more than £10 either. Looking at splashing out on some Asics now that are £19!
I never pay more than £35 for quality running shoes, some I will not spend the same for garish plastic trainers for a kid!
Keep an eye out for Salomon in sales- our kids all have them, when they are £20 or £25, we stockpile..

Why not buy some more then, a size or so bigger?
Kids ruin shoes and if they don't they grow out of them. No point spending any money at all really. Decathlon do mail order too.
Sports direct have a massive range of types and makes, i have no idea how you can say they are all crap.
Not sure what size you want but these asics at SD are £18.50

can't see you getting branded trainers for much cheaper.
TKmaxx could be worth a visit though.
nowt wrong with kids trainers in sports direct
i bought 2 pairs of nike trainers for my son for £40...if i'd bought them elsewhere they would have cost at least £20 more
I'm sure FunkyDunc has managed to get his nephew shod since this thread was started.. surely?
You'll get a free giant mug from Sports Direct too - even if you delete it from your basket at the checkout. I now have 5!

Oops didn't notice this was started 4 weeks ago!!
Sportsdirect for my boys shoes, nothing wrong with Nike/Adidas or other branded shoes. I am fairly sure Nike don't have a second grade of shoes that they let SD sell...
