Not astro turf

Tried running shoes and feet got very sore

adidas samba, or something similar.

Adidas Samba if you can still get them.

Have to agree, Adidas Samba (or super samba in leather) but blue suede is cooler. I have always had at least one pair since 1996. Easily my favriout 5 a side / pub shoe.

And they cost about 40 notes from most trainer stores

Something with a broad, and not too tall footbed, so as to see off the old twisted ankle!!

I got some Diadora for a tenner, not very well made and been sown up once by mother already,
but going strong now!

sambas are great for the pub but not much grip on indoor courts IMHO, I use badminton shoes

Trouble with indoor pitches, is the type of surface used. Some trainer/surface combos work better than others. Plus, most places insist on non-marking outsoles, which tend to be harder rubber, quite often, and therefore not quite as grippy. Sambas probbly aren’t the best, as they are more of a ‘retro’ fashion trainer.

Plenty of trainers here.

‘Badminton’ trainers uppers are too lightweight for footie. Better off with leather or similar synthetic material, not canvassy type stuff.

I bought some trainers for 12 quid from sports world, they’ve done me fine!
