Quick vote: silver converse, yay or nay?

[AuntPol]

Have been eyeing these silver converse for a while, and now they're slightly reduced.

Am I too old for them? (I'm 42). Or are they a bit naff whatever your age? Or shall I buy them? Help me decide, please!

You're not helping yourself, Lakehouse. Dislike a pair of shoes if you like, that's fine, but if you honestly 'wouldn't leave the house' with somebody because of their choice of footwear, you probably need to rethink your attitude. Why on earth would you care? Are your 'friends' actually your fashion accessories?

What do you wear then lakehouse?

Maybe lakehouse is one of those types who thinks it's necessary to wear five inch heels for an afternoon shopping. In which case I'm fine with her not liking my style.

You wanted pictures. This is me.

Mid 40's, I wear purple converse. Someone said they do pewter, pewter!!! I have neeeeeeed!

My whole family wore Converse to my wedding, from my parents in their 40s down to 2-year-old DD. We looked amazing. Never too old or too young for Converse.

I like those but I'll probably go for the cheap Dunlop ones, £15 instead of over £60

There will be a thread next week where someone calls converse mumsy or something. Whatever. Judging people on their brand of trainers is something teenagers in the 90s did. I didn't do it then and I don't do it now.

When you grow up lakehouse youll realise just how stupid that attitude is

So, I'm 49. What do you think I should wear on my feet? Do advise us poor befuddle "middle aged" souls

isn't it lovely that someone so ignorant is allowed to use the internet?

I expect Lakehouse like crocs.

My 16yo dd has silver converse. I have 4 pairs in various colours. Most of her friends wear the all black converse, but the high top version. So ime teens love 'em. And Lakehouse, stop chatting shit.

My teenagers ( boys and girls ) all wear converse.

Which is why I wear superga, not to embarrass them. No I'm lying , it's just because I find superga more comfortable. And I don't care about enbarassing my teens.

Besides they need to learn not to judge people by what they wear.

Love them! I have just ordered these in the sale

Lakehouse can you tell us your age and what you wear on your feet?

I've asked lake to tell me what I should wear on my feet at a middle aged person

Oops, the silver Superga just fell into my Amazon basket along with some books. I couldn't find any to try on in the shops today but there are free returns.

Here's Rene zellweger being all desperate and middle aged in hers too.

That is exactly what I was wearing today! Except I had trainers on not Converse. In my mind I looked just like that .

I was dressed like that yesterday, except the Converse were pink.
I'm wearing silver sequin high top ones today.
My teenager loves them too, she has a Gorillaz pair

Yep, absolutely love Converse, go for it

Am feeling a bit low today as it's Mother's Day and this thread has cheered me up. In my early 50s and thought I'd look a bit desperate in Converse but you've all made me feel that perhaps I could wear them after all. Thank you xx

Go for it Christopher !

Yep definitely go for it Christopher, it's hard to feel sad in sparkly shoes .

Seriously they make me feel youthful but not try-hard (despite opinions to the contrary), go with literally everything and with the amount of colours and styles available you're bound to find something you love.
Let us know how you get on.

You are all bad people and now I have bought a pair of silver converse.

Shiny shiny!

Here's my embarrassing, try hard, frumpy middle aged feet. Going out for Mother's Day cake
