I didn't know there was an age limit on Vans
(37 Posts) I bought them because I wanted all grey shoes for the day. My work colleague who is 30 said I'm abit old for them but not for Converse - will I look like the olsdest swinger in town? I can still take them back.
What a bitchy thing to say! I'm 33, perhaps I'm too old to get it too! Pah. I always liked vans. It's not as if you have to be a skater to wear them.
My 81yr old grams has vans
I'm 36, almost 37 and I want a pair. My DP lives in his!
I've got a Liberty pair and love them. I'm 42.
The age limit is simply a limit in your colleagues head. Normal people see canvas style pumps with a brand badge on. Either you like that style shoe or you don't. Splitting brands into age appropriateness illustrates a tendency to over think things and of having to much time on her hands, delegate more work her way

I want vans and I'm over 30.
I have converse but they really hurt, my little toes get blisters. I tried my mates vans on and now I want I want I want.
I'm almost 35 and I wear Vans all the time. Couldn't care less what people think and they go with loads of outfits...and they're mega comfy. Love them.
There is no age limit on Vans nor it seems on stupidity. Your colleague not you OP.
I have a Liberty pair as well and I'm 53!
Ridiculous colleague.
I would have bought some the other day if they'd have been comfortable. I'm 54. Why on earth should Converse be ok but Vans not - is she the shoe age police?!
Stupid person, no you are not too old!
Do not take them back! I'm 36 and still wear vans, have done since I was a teenager and probably always will. That woman was rude.
I'm 34 and I have Star Wars vans. I don't care if I'm too old I love them
Can't imagine Vans would be too pleased to read this, imagine having your market restricted to the under 30s only. DH wears them all the time and he's (whisper it) 54!! What nonsense from your colleague.
I'm 40 and I bought some striped lace up ones recently, as a change from my usual Converse. Love them. Too old? Pfft!
Just googled star wars vans.
Awesome.
I think your colleague is just being a bitch.
I would love a pair of Star Wars vans. I have the Beatles one.
My 80 year old mother bought herself some Babycham trainers the other day 'because they're so comfy'...
I have some ponyskin ones. I am 44.
I'm 47 and I love my Vans.
I wasn't even aware that people looked at clothes and thought in terms of age-appropriateness. I mean apart from babygros and things! Mind you, onesies.
Don't people just think, I like that, it suits me, I'll buy it? And sometimes, I like that, and it doesn't really suit me, but I don't care?!!
Ignore your colleague she is being very silly.
Vans are for swingers are they?
<eyes people on the bus carefuly>
There is no age limit on Vans nor it seems on stupidity ^^ This!
