Re:
I've had a few pairs of cheap Karrimor shoes, they're OK, but they don't last particularly long; the soles seem to wear out fast and they get scruffy pretty quickly. That being said, I walk a fair bit, sometimes 20 or 30 miles a week, but they deffinately don't last as long as the Merrell shoes I've had.
They look well made, the uppers look very similar in construction to my Merrell trail shoes, which I absolutely love, but those colour options are a bit lairy for my tastes. Also I'd prefer standard laces to velcro straps or those dial things.
These are more to my taste, the styling isn't too "busy" and colour is muted; I don't dress like a childrens T.V. presenter. But they are a flat shoes:
Maybe what I want doesn't really exist and I should stick to flat shoes.
NO!
I think Sport Direct have started to do their karrimor style walking shoe/boots with spd bike usage.
Of course it comes down to what you think is fashionable.

I got these last year and haven't looked back.
