Trouble is now, if I wear trainers (I don't) in a social gathering I end up looking like one of those old men you see hanging round bus stations with baggy jogging bottoms tied up somewhere around their armpits.

I've got a pair of these for power lifting. They're so much better than regular trainers for squats.

just stand with your heels on 2.5kg plates much cheaper

Stability is the thing, not heel raising. These make regular trainers feel like standing on a mattress and have more support than bare feet would.

I got a dodgy copy pair for 25 notes.
Do they count?

This isn't going to turn into a version of the horrifically hilarious and infamous lycra thread on SouthStander is it?
