Are my Vejas a total cliche?

Honest opinions please. I’ve got these ones.

I thought they were really trendy when I bought them last year but I haven’t worn them as much as I thought. Feel a bit of a walking cliche. Also dh says they make my feet look huge!

honesty please! Have seen some pink new balance. Trendier?

From this? What's it supposed to mean?

That gentrifiers don’t overtake neighbourhoods by force but do wear a uniform, and when you see Veja’s around you know the area is on the up.

Ooh, am I gentrifying the neighbourhood I was born in and lived in all my life? We’re about to become a free port so we clearly need it.

I wouldn't notice a Veja if I tripped over one.

I've not seen many irl but saw a girl in her late teens wearing them today on the bus. Almost definitely not a mum.

The floaty dress and white trainers look at my work is most often worn by the younger women (also not mums).

It's so ironic that on Mumsnet when mums dress in a certain way it's derided as being 'frumpy and mumsy'. By other mums. God forbid one should look like a mum. I hide my children when I'm out in case anyone thinks I'm a mum.

Conversely, I walked back from the hairdresser today behind a walking MN cliche; 40-something woman in skinny jeans, a parka, mid length balayage and vejas, walking a cockapoo, so 🤷‍♀️.
