quite liking the converse silver sequin trainers and saw these boots, would you think I was mad as a 45 year old to get these?

They're awful, it's not your age, it's the boots

If you're going back to the 70s to live they're perfect. Otherwise - hideous regardless of your age

Agree with everyone else! It's not your age, it's the boots. They are revolting.

I'm not really a converse kind of girl, but the sequin trainers are really nice for someone who does like converse. I'd go with those!

The boots are horrid Shock and only suitable if you plan on trying out as a Dallas cowboys cheerleader.

I did use to have silver leather metallic Superga sneakers and they were fab and very versatile too. Might be an alternative to the sequin converse.

They aren't great. But there are loads of gorgeous metallic boots around at the minute. I tried on a few pairs in Next the other day. So don't give up your silver dreams :)

What would you wear them with? 😆
I don't. Mind them but they are rather particular.
I have silver leather converse. Practical and stylish haha.

God no.
It's certainly not your age. They are horrid and you would end up looking like a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader from the knees down.

Epic fail for Converse.

I'm a huge Converse fan, they make the best sneakers so I can't believe they actually put their good name to those boots Confused.
These are better though not boot boots

Metallic boots are in fashion but I would steer away from them

So many, many lover silver boots about just now and you fall for those?! sequinned Converse may have more street cred but are just as awful IMO
