Would you wear these trainers? Please also say roughly what age you are.

I'm mid thirties and I wear them a lot with jeans but my DH thinks they are for grannies

Isn't that still beige?

MillicentMartha · 11/05/2019 13:40

Horrible colour, sorry. The new photo no better than the old.

baabaamoomooneigh · 11/05/2019 13:40

Colour in second pic looks more or less the same.

baabaamoomooneigh · 11/05/2019 13:41

It's a marginally better style - which style is right?

DramaAlpaca · 11/05/2019 13:41

I'm 55 & I wouldn't wear them. You won't like this, but my 85 year old dad has a pair of shoes similar to that. Sorry!

NoBaggyPants · 11/05/2019 13:41

The second ones are even worse!

Gigia · 11/05/2019 13:41

I am 38 and definitely wouldn't wear them. They are very frumpy.

DragonMamma · 11/05/2019 13:43

35 and no way. They are hideous. My nan has a similar pair.

Nanasueathome · 11/05/2019 13:43

Mid 60’s...it’s a no from me

MilkTwoSugarsThanks · 11/05/2019 13:44

I'm currently with my mum, she's a 76 year old granny.

She said your husband is being bloody rude, no self respecting granny would wear them for anything other than medical reasons.

Mominatrix · 11/05/2019 13:44

No, definitely not. They do look like old lady shoes.

Lucked · 11/05/2019 13:45

No. 41

CarolsBiggestFan · 11/05/2019 13:46

Mid 40’s and hell no.

My Nan would though, she’s 96Grin

XiCi · 11/05/2019 13:46

Holy shit, no. They look like a shoe my grandad would wear to play crown green bowls

baabaamoomooneigh · 11/05/2019 13:48

Lol, ok thanks for the opinions!

Good Lord Hmm

VanGoghsDog · 11/05/2019 13:49

Nope, not a chance, sorry. Am 51. And I wear comfy boring shoes!

GimmeBread · 11/05/2019 13:50

C'mon baabaa- it's unanimous! A ritual burning is required Grin

Babykoala1 · 11/05/2019 13:53

They don't look OAP to me, they are in the style of slipon vans. I accept I'm in the minority though as this thread seems pretty unanimous. I'm 28 btw

MiniMum97 · 11/05/2019 13:53

No they are hideous whatever age you are.
