Am I too old for these shoes?

[summer25]

Am I too old to wear these shoes? I'm on the wrong side of 40. I think they're lovely but fear I may be too old. My husband jokingly said I would be better buying a nice pair of court shoes. www.schuh.co.uk/womens/converse-all-star-camp-daisies-lift-ox-pale-pink-trainers/1923283370/

I wear similar things to those in the summer. I'm 52. Never occurred to me to care what anyone else thinks!

My 'biker' boots are from Office

[Bargebill19]

Never to old !

[JenniferSantoro]

I love these!! I wear docs and I’m over 50. @barberousbarbara you can never have too many pairs of docs!

[Yellredder]

Of course you're not too old! Wrong side of 50 and I'd wear them!

[inforapennyinforapug]

Not my taste but wear whatever you like and don’t worry about age! @sunshinesupermum please can I see these biker boots? I’m on the lookout myself

[wilde85]

Not at all, wear them and rock them!

[WhoWouldHaveThoughtThat]

No of course not!
I believe the Queen Mother used to wear a very similar pair, even on State Occasions (full length skirt) as they were so very comfy.
Although she did have use one of those bunion stretcher devices to get them fit.
Apparently she had feet that looked like a 'battered biscuit tin' when viewed from above.

I'd wear them. I was 41 when I bought pastel rainbow glitter DMs. During lockdown I bought pink metallic DMs. I also own Sesame Street Toms.

I couldn't care less what people say. An ex used to mock my choice in shoes. It backfired on him because I used to seek out the most outrageous shoes I could to wind him up.

I have hello kitty converse. I’m 50. My DC think they’re great! Just don’t try and walk a long way in them! Converse are crap for long walks as I found out to my cost.

[everythingbackbutyou]

They're gorgeous! I am also on the wrong side of 40 and I want some now.

[midlifenewspring]

How can you be too old for shoes?

[HaudMaDug]

No one is ever too old for Converse or Docs.
They are fab looking Allstars OP.
Go rock them🤘

[ktp100]

Who gives a shit what people think, on Mumsnet or otherwise, about their shoes, really?!!

Don't buy into that 'too old' bullshit, OP!

Wear whatever you want. End of.

[CorianderLord]

Wear what you want, I wouldn't wear them to work but out and about is your choice

[ragged]

I'd wear what I like & DC's embarrassment can be damned.

[Whatsnewpussyhat]

The price of converse now is ridiculous. £70 for fabric pumps! Wow.

Wear what you like.

[beautyisfoundwithin]

I love them and I think you should definitely go for it! No such thing as too old. Life is too short not to enjoy yourself!

[emilybrontescorsett]

Of course you are not too old.

[Runkle]

Nothing to do with your age but I don't like them personally. And certainly not for £70.

[steppemum]

no.
Before I had even seen the picture of the shoes, the answer is no.
If you like them, then wear them.

(and I think they're great)

[APipkinOfPepper]

No, not too old! I’m not so keen on those particular ones but I have some flowery plimsoles that I love

[summer25]

Thanks. Feeling very positive and will order them.

[Goldrill]

Ooh they're nice! £70 though [misses point of thread]

[Hoppinggreen]

I don’t like them but the age of the wearer is irrelevant
