Walsh: trainers made in England

I love these Walsh trainers, made in Bolton, England. Founded by Norman Walsh, who made shoes for some of the great athletes and sportsmen of the fifties and sixties, it's a British brand based on genuine heritage and skills; one to be proud of and to support. Why buy trainers made in far-flung parts of the world when you can find well-designed and reasonably-priced UK-made shoes?

And this raises the issue whether the older man should wear trainers other than at the gym. Frankly I wear what I like, not what some fashion guru tells me to wear, so I'm going to wear my British-made trainers with pride.
