Ok, sounds like you need a pair of "Adidas Ali Ringside 3" - these are hard to come by, but there are a few pairs on the 'Bay right now, sound ideal for you, and do have a somewhat retro appeal.

Ideal... are they glossy finnish though? :S I would like something like that, But matt finnish.

Yes they are a gloss finish, which I agree is a little ostentacious, but I love the shape of them

Probably then looking for something like Stan Smith, RL Vintage, Grand Slam, Forest Hills...

Get some Ali ones, get down that gym, and take some of the shine off them!

adidas tkd - really light, perhaps too light for you. are intended as martial arts trainers. very little real grip but soft, light and simple.

Nike Infiltrators.

are there any trainers (other then specialy fit expensive ones) that come in extra wide? because im also interested in a good pair of trainers, but have wide feet, and also need room for my arch supports, because im flat footed.

I would recommend buying some trainers that are designed for what your going to be doing. Like some cross trainers. Surely it doesn't matter what make they are or how they look, it's how they support your feet?

Most of the trainers being posted are fashion trainers not specific sport trainers.

What type of gym work will you be doing? Running, rowing etc. and weights or just weights?
