Okay, so these ROA Neal trainers are proper winners if you're after something that works hard but doesn't shout about it. They come in black, obviously, so they'll go with pretty much anything you throw at them, whether you're hitting the gym or just out and about. The upper is made from this clever water-repellent mini ripstop nylon, which feels really robust, and there's a waterproof membrane inside at the front, so your feet actually stay dry. Plus, they’ve added a strong TPU layer on the toe for extra protection – proper thinking ahead, that. The laces keep everything nice and snug, just how you need it. What makes these stand out is the Vibram Megagrip sole. It’s got a super distinctive toothed pattern that gives you fantastic grip, so you won’t be slipping around, even when it’s a bit wet. They’re chunky too, which I always think adds a bit of edge. Honestly, these are solid for everyday wear or when you’re doing something a bit more active and need that reliability.
