Just had a look on there, they just seem to do small sizes, like up to 9.5, but I'm a size 12, great prices if they're genuine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Recommendation please I love my Gazelles, had them donkeys, worn them in all weathers, and they still look good Problem I have is that I need an orthotic insole due to the osteoarthritis in my big toe so need a fairly spacious shoe and Gazelles are so fucking tight on the foot that I can’t fit my orthotic inside. I’m size 9 so tried new Gazelles in a 9.5. Still tight and my foot was slipping in them so didn’t solve the problem Is there a design, similar to the Gazelle that’s a bit more spacious? Thing about the Gazelle is that the angle of the sole is perfect that it takes the pressure off the toe joint so looking for that type/angle of sole with a decent design Went to the Trafford Centre early this morning but the mouth-breathers in the shops hadn’t got a clue what I was talking about. Happy to pay the price to get the right shoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I want to know too as they have the blue/yellow Stockholm’s in my size and I really like them but very wary they are fake.

Ace. Thank you both. Hamburgs and Munchens look good re the sole. Jeans look to much like the Samba which doesn’t work for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel your pain Blondi, I'm ideally 11.5-12 and it's been impossible in the past to source my size. This year's releases though have been plentiful in bigger sizes. Amsterdam the big one for me in 2020, I've not heard of much else on the grapevine yet other than Frankfurt but they're velcro IIRC, I'm past that.

stevieb Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I'd say if you are buying hamburg or jeans for the first time try them on if possible first. I found hamburg's to be tight and jeans loose fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Are any Adidas trainers actually knocked up in Germany anymore? I know the majority of production was shipped out to China and Vietnam over 25 years ago, hence the drop in quality presumably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the very early ones until the Far East production costs made it an obvious place to outsource to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick google search tells me that 90% of their trainer production had been shifted to the far east by 1993. I'm presuming that the majority of their trainers would have been Deutsche produced up till the mid 80's? I'm sure someone on here will know their Adi Dassler history.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted December 28, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2019 Assume then that 10% still made in Germany. I'll ask my lad in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieb Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 They have occasional made in Germany (mig) releases for a premium. They had some leather hamburg's a few years back that were £120 (iirc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
