The shoe/trainer hybrid.
Too casual to be shoes -
definitely not trainers as no sport could ever be undertaken in them.
Usually in two-tone brown, often slip-on or velcro, always ugly.
Can be seen on dress down fridays or family holidays as dad thinks they will be good for the pool
in the day and the
restaurant at night.
"I wish I could wear shorts to
the office but I'd look like a dick if I wore them with shoes and
the boss wont let me wear
trainers"
"You could always wear shrainers like Patrick does?"
"I'd look less of a dick wearing shoes!"
"Right kids - who's ready for the disco?"
"Dad. I'm going nowhere with you if you're wearing your shrainers".
