HELP. I'm 31 years old, what trainers should I be wearing?

[CharChar91]

Just this really. I want some new trainers for the school run etc and I'm suddenly feeling quite old. I'm drawn to the more fashionable ones but I don't really dress to suit them. If I was 10 years younger than maybe, but I don't want to drop £120 on a pair I like but look like I'm trying too hard to cling on to my youth 😅
Am I overthinking this?
What age appropriate trainers/brands should I be looking for that are a happy medium between young and carefree and boomer??

I have a pair of adidas superstars in white and gold, several converse and some Nike airforce one in white and green. I'm 41

I’m also 31! I go for plain coloured vans, low top converse or adidas gazelles

I’m 32 and I wear air force ones.

Oh god PLEASE don’t feel old at 31. Wait another 40 years and even then don’t bother. I know I’ve gone off the point but I mean it kindly and not as a criticism.

Age appropriate? You can wear whatever the fuck you want. I’m almost 30 and I wear vans.

Age-appropriate?!

You wear what you like. What suits you. What fits. And what you can afford.

Stop the ageist stuff, please.

Oh get on with you and your age appropriateness. That attitude is soooo 2010.
Would you like to define what is age appropriate for me as a fit, slim, non tweaked 56 year old?
Sorry if I sound snippy. But you can't live like that, OP

Wear whatever you like, as long as you can afford them.

I'm 43 and my most recent trainer purchase was a £200 pair of special edition Onitsuka Tigers.

I’m 31 and I have a few pairs of Steve maddens they are my fave at the mo, balenciagas, chunky converse, vans, Nike 270s i honestly can’t say I focus on my age I just buy things I like

I just have basic black Adidas trainers with the white stripes. No idea what their actual name is, but I cba shopping, hate spending loads and just want comfort.

Lots of the parents on the school run seem to wear New Balance

Just wear what you want. Nobody else will give a shit what's on your feet.

31 !......Skechers

Wear what you fancy. Im 65 and wear bright pink DMs.

And I wear Hokkas for actual
Sport and New Balance for everyday. But best avoid because maybe they're for oldies 😉

Should? My goodness....wear what you want to !

Whatever trainers you like, 31 or 81.

This is a good blog if you're looking for a steer though.

37 and love my black and white converse

It's definitely not about your age, whatever it may be, but the outfit you're wearing!

What do you usually wear? We could suggest trainers to suit that style.

😂

These.

I'm joking. But seriously, wear whatever TF you like. It's the school run? Literally the worst part of the day, no one is looking or cares.

I would be wearing Pokémon trainers or something bright, but as they don't make them in my size, I have really boring mens trainers.

I would never think something might not be appropriate for this age. Crazy, isn't it.

36 and I wear new balance 530 which goes with everything. Jeans, leggings, joggers and it's the most comfiest trainers I have ever purchased!

Nike air things. £20, second hand but almost new. Got them at a charity fund raising thing. Not that I get to the gym much.

OP I’m 33, my fashion hasn’t really changed all that much since I was 18 (except I don’t wear forests anymore) I still wear my DMs, band tees, leopard print etc. I do wear trainers more now though.
I either go for Nike or Reebok ones but I also have a lovely cream pair of Fila panaches that are surprisingly comfortable and have chunky sole which is always a plus!
Just wear whatever you want!
