Things You Might Like To Know

If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for in our FAQs, don’t worry—we’re here to help. Whether you have questions about sizing, fabrics, shipping, or anything else, feel free to reach out to our team. Your satisfaction is our top priority.

What is the best shoe for gym training?

A training shoe with a flatter, firmer sole and good side support is best for weights and gym classes. Running shoes suit cardio machines, but their soft, raised cushioning is less stable for lifting.


What’s the difference between gym trainers and running trainers?

This is a very common question. Gym trainers are designed for stability and side-to-side movement, while running trainers are built for forward motion.


What’s the difference between fashion trainers and sports trainers?

Fashion trainers are designed mainly for everyday wear — stylish, versatile, and perfect for casual outfits or travel days. Sports trainers are built for performance, with added support, grip, and cushioning for activities like running, walking, or the gym. At Donaghys, you’ll find both styles from top brands to suit your lifestyle.


How long should my trainers last?

This depends on your usage! Trainers tend to last around 300–500 miles, depending on how often and how hard you use them. For regular day-to-day wear, many people find they hold up really well and stay supportive for months.


Is a UK size 7 a 40 or 41?

A UK 7 is usually an EU 40 or 41, depending on the brand, as European sizing varies slightly between makers. As a rough guide, a UK 4 is an EU 37, UK 5 is 38, UK 6 is 39, UK 7 is 40–41 and UK 8 is 42. Check the size guide on each product page.
