To think my 42 year old husband should not wear converse trainers?

[GordontheGopher]

Well?

Why not? If he likes them let him wear them.

Next you will be telling me that at 38 I shouldn't be wearing my Harley Quinn Converse. But I don't care.

Ageist! I've loved my Converse since I was a teenager and am not going to ditch them just because I'm getting old. My current pair is a beautiful sunflower yellow :P.

Converse are for everyone! Toddlers, Teens, Adults. All fine. I don't see a problem.

Why don't people RTFT before replying and see it's a ZOMBIE thread?
Why would someone resurrect a nine yr old thread, @Potterhead113 ?

I wonder If he's still wearing them 9 years later?

why not? Freddie Mercury could pull them off wearing a suit proving they can be worn for any event. Everyone looks good in converse.

Shall I deploy Batman again or is it a lost cause?

You are probably right Fanjo.

Freddie Mercury is not a good reason to wear anything.

Converse are the best shoes. I love your DH. Mine has no taste and only wears Clarke's.

Your DH sounds very stylish PiratePanda.

I hate ageism. It's so nasty and unnecessary. Why shouldn't people wear what they want to wear? I am in my 50s and wear Converse so fuck off OP.

My dad is 65 and wears them. He is the coolest looking Grandad!

Fanjo even the Fabulous Batmen weren't enough.

Sorry OP, I think YABU. OH has lots of smart shoes but several pairs of Converse. To make matters worse, so do I, including a pink sparkly pair, and we are both older than your DH!

My view is life is for enjoying and too short to worry about what others think of your shoes :)

Regenerating from 2008....

ZOMBIE THREAD THE DH WILL BE 51 BY NOW AND HOPEFULLY STILL WEARING HIS CONVERSE

I think we have exhausted our armoury now Fanjo.

YABU.
My husband is 55 and he wears converse trainers.
