quite liking the converse silver sequin trainers and saw these boots, would you think I was mad as a 45 year old to get these?

They're awful, it's not your age, it's the boots

ThisPasadenaHomemaker · 25/10/2016 11:26

They're lovely.

If you're planning on being Barbarella for Halloween 😂.

Penfold007 · 25/10/2016 11:26

You risk looking like a 70s pop star - not good

SuperFlyHigh · 25/10/2016 11:28

If you're going back to the 70s to live they're perfect. Otherwise - hideous regardless of your age

FuckThatToOneSide · 25/10/2016 13:17

Agree with everyone else! It's not your age, it's the boots. They are revolting.

I'm not really a converse kind of girl, but the sequin trainers are really nice for someone who does like converse. I'd go with those!

The boots are horrid Shock and only suitable if you plan on trying out as a Dallas cowboys cheerleader.

I did use to have silver leather metallic Superga sneakers and they were fab and very versatile too. Might be an alternative to the sequin converse.

Oblomov16 · 25/10/2016 13:57

They are vile. And I love everything silver.

GCHQMonitoring · 25/10/2016 14:06

Grim. Are you an Abba fan?

Cakescakescakes · 25/10/2016 16:26

They aren't great. But there are loads of gorgeous metallic boots around at the minute. I tried on a few pairs in Next the other day. So don't give up your silver dreams :)

TheMasterMurderedMargarita · 25/10/2016 16:30

What would you wear them with? 😆
I don't. Mind them but they are rather particular.
I have silver leather converse. Practical and stylish haha.

ample · 25/10/2016 16:30

God no.
It's certainly not your age. They are horrid and you would end up looking like a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader from the knees down.

Epic fail for Converse.

ample · 25/10/2016 16:32

Ha! Just seen botemp had the same thought.

NoIsAnAnswer · 25/10/2016 16:33

What would you wear with them?

EweAreHere · 25/10/2016 16:38

Hahahahaha! My first thought was also Dallas Cowboy's Cheerleader. GrinGrinGrin

ample · 25/10/2016 16:40

I'm a huge Converse fan, they make the best sneakers so I can't believe they actually put their good name to those boots Confused.
These are better though not boot boots

silver boots am I mad??
paulapantsdown · 25/10/2016 16:42

They are great if you planning on joining an ABBA tribute band!

Louisajohnson224 · 25/10/2016 16:46

Did you ever watch the program heartbeat?
Reminds me of something the barmaid would of wore..awful
Metallic boots are in fashion but I would steer away from them

PacificDogwod · 25/10/2016 16:52

So many, many lover silver boots about just now and you fall for those?! sequinned Converse may have more street cred but are just as awful IMO

PacificDogwod · 25/10/2016 16:58

Still space agey but not hideous IMO

TheMasterMurderedMargarita · 25/10/2016 17:13

Those are mine ample.
They aren't so shiny in real life.

PinkiePiesCupcakes · 25/10/2016 17:19

Are you planning a Ziggy Stardust tribute act at some point in the near future?

Grin
SuperFlyHigh · 25/10/2016 18:24

They're not converse just have stars on them!
