Wide-fitting Men's Trainers

We all know that keeping active is so important, but it's difficult when you can’t find the right footwear. Nobody wants to go out exercising in shoes that pinch or rub and this can lead to a vicious circle of inactivity that can lead to ill health.

Our trainers are designed with all the features you'd expect from our shoes to ensure total comfort while you get out and active.

Lace-up styles like round toe shape Dawson or suede material Wakefield offer a secure fit to reduce rubbing alongside adjustability if your feet swell during the day, whilst strap fastening styles like athritis friendly Logan, grippy rubbr sole Stephen and wide opening Devon offer easier access alongside adjustability.

Open Quotations These shoes are really comfortable- far more so than I anticipated. I am even thinking of buying another pair for when they wear out :) Close Quotation

You’ll find easy access designs across our casuals, trainers and slipper ranges, so there’s something for everyone.
