I had not the slightest idea that the purchasing and wearing of trainers was an age-related activity, you live and learn I guess.

At the age of 59 with years of 'monkey-shaped' feet behind me, it never occurred to me that if I found a pair of trainers that I liked and that fit that I also needed to contend with the issue of my age.

So as I've worn Adidas 3-stripes for decades, maybe they should be regarded as the Geriatric Trainer, and the many youngsters that wear them should question if they're old or geriatric enough to wear them?

seein as trainers are age-related....

I'd definitely buy them if you like them. Like a PP I've just bought myself a pair of DM's at the age of 37 channelling my teenage years and they make me very happy Smile

I m 42 and I have 8 pairs of Nikes, they are all I wear. I wasn’t aware there was an age limit 😀

My mother in law aged 80 has some problems with her feet so has to wear trainers. Perhaps I should get her some really cool ones for Christmas

Wow @godmum56! You just need a little pair of wings on the back of them and you'd look like Mercury, Messenger of the Gods!
