Would you wear Converse All Star (style) shoes

[annieapple2]

I have always loved Converse All Star style shoes but my younger sister and little boy live in them in the summer. I have always been put off thinking I would be to old (even though I'm only 25) and look silly in them .

I have lived all winter in jeggings and leggings with denim skirts with Doc Marin boots laced half way with ribbon.The converse would look good with my clothes (not so sure about my size 7 big feet) but I keep thinking Im a 'punk/rock/biker women' not a 'skater girl'.

Do any other mums on here wear Converse All Star's?

I'm 36 and have a black plimsole pair. I need to save up and get red or burgundy this spring.

I would, yes. But I went for gola instead.

I've just bought my first pair, but not sure what jeans to wear them with. Tried them with my skinnies and I looked ridiculous (I have legs like Olive Oyl!!) , so would straight leg or boyfriend fit be better?

Oh and I'm 34!

I wear mine with straight or boyfriend fit

a skinny flare is ok too, but they don't suit me

Thanks! Skinny flare don't suit me either, but have seen some nice boyfriend fit so I'll give those a try.

I have my red converse on today, with jeans, and it's my 39th birthday!

I'm 29 and I do :-)

I'm 30's and wear them - they are fairly standard school run uniform.

42 and yes I do!

Also, we're getting 39 year old DH his first pair next week. Although part of me wants to wait until later in the year when DD will be walking and they can get their first pairs together. Then I might be able to time it with my next pair too

I wear mine with boyfriend fit jeans. Comfiest combo ever.

No, too much hassle to lace them up properly!
They look fine, on any age imo, just not practical enough for me.

I'm 41 and I love them, shoes only though. I have purple ones and pink ones. Love Doc Martens too

they are a well established mum fashion cliche

and ?

I'm 29 and love my white ones.

Nearly 50 and they are my favourite shoes EVER

I have a grey double-faced/double-laced pair (shoes), which my 11 year-old son has taken a shine to, and I have to wait until he's outgrown them before I can have them back

Ooohh, I'm 33 btw

You aren't tool old, don't be so silly, woman!

I quite like that Converse / boyfriend jeans look I see some women wearing, but I find them incredibly uncomfortable.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone wear them on the school run (maybe it hasn't hit rural Surrey, or maybe it has and I just don't look at enough feet). I keep hearing about them on MN, though.

I last had a pair when I was 18.

What do you ladies wear them with? Skinny jeans? Don't they make you look like a golf-club?

DS1 (who is 11) told me he quite fancies a pair, so maybe we can share, like TobyLerone.

love them - both the boots and plimsolls. Have about 6 pairs

Was beginning to feel a tad old (35) for them but shall continue to wear them with pride.

Wear them with jeans all the time

I had a fab pair of plain white leather ones which I wore to death but sadly I cannot wear them anymore as they are too flat for me & I have a hip problem related to giving birth. I have been really struggling to find suitable alternatives to the summer converse/ballet flats I used to live in...

Hey, you have the same DM boots as me I think! Purple? But I swapped the ribbon for the laces as it kept coming untied...

Nothing wrong with Converse, very classic part of yer emo/punk look.

yes unless you are yself skinny they do look odd with skinnoids

i HATE coloured ones ewewew

" ooh look at me im quirky"
