As subject really, I want some new, lightweight summer trainers. certainly not white!
I've tried Merrell ventilated, and they are crap, they vent round the sides, but the tongue section gets soaked in sweat.

Any others to look at?

Ta
Alan.

i Have some innov8 something or other and they dont smell yet - also Addidas climacool are the best ive found for antismell and light weight.

Secret is to not let them get wet.

I use those Flyroc's (and their GTX brothers) and they are ace. Don't bother with the GTX ones, buy some Gore GTX socks instead if you are multidaying and need to keep dry.

They are comfy and ace. Quite high volume on my spindly feet so I add a 3mm volume reducer.

Salamon make good, very breathable shoes. Take your time with sizing as they come up tighter than the size. Usually in the sale somewhere too!

Gore-Tex Nike ACGs are £45 at Sports Direct, if you can make those stink you need your feet chopping off!

I have a set for hiking, you can submerge them completely in water and nothing gets in but they let the stick out.

Perfect.
