Ladies deck trainers

[Cloven]

I'm looking for a pair of deck trainers for SHMBO - size 37 but in a ladies fit. Only ones I can find are by Harken at an exorbitant £70. Compass do a size 37 - tried a pair of these but they were far too big.

Anyone got any suggestions?

dubarry are excellent good colours and will last for ages- about the same price but she's worth it

swmbo's received an email from Tchibo and I'm about to post a query re their sailing gear but first....


Ideal for walking, these Leather Trainers are extremely light and comfortable. They come with soft, supple cowhide uppers, a padded ankle section, high-quality pigskin lining, cushioning EVA padding, a removable EVA insole and a rubber sole.
Material: outer material: cowhide; lining: pigskin; insole: EVA; sole: rubber
Colour: white/red
Price £5 was £9.99
http://www.tchibo.co.uk/ and search for women's leather trainers

If they are suitable for sailing (description is similar to Harken's) you could buy swmbo several pairs and a pair of duberry for yourself /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

IzzyDeadyet - thanks for the link. Unfortunately they only go down to size 5 and SWMBO is a size 4 (Euro 37). This is the problem all along - plenty of women's sailing trainers but most start at size 5 or 6. Thanks anyway.

SWMBO & Daughter No1 has the same problem.

Don't laugh but has swmbo tried childs size? Sounds silly but Daughter No1 (late 20's and married) kitted herself out from children's dept at Decathlon (www.decathlon.co.uk) and saved a fortune which she then spent at IKEA next door
