I like the white leather ones, my mum doesn't think they're really converse. They take a while to break in, causing blisters  but then they are the shoes I live in, super comfy  |

I've never owned a pair of converse. I do have what we used to call baseball boots which I can walk in except they rub my ankle a bit.
Now I sound like an old lady trying to join in the youngsters conversation  .

"Trendy dad" is a good look.
I'm currently rocking the "don't give a flying banana look " . A friend once described me as being "daring" with my clothes. Still no idea what she meant. |

My first pair of baseball boots were Converse back in the 80s Also had a pair of white leather ones with a strap that went round the ankle (can't remember if they were Converse). |

I think they look good. I took my driving test in a pair of purple baseball boots. |

I do love Converse. My favourite pair are patterned with cherries and are adorable. Sadly I’m getting older and can’t quite carry them off the same. I tend to be in my Stan Smiths more often these days. |

"Love them - and really do t give a flying fuck about my age. If it looks good wear it!"
I agree. I didn't mean to imply there was an age limit on wearing them. More that I was using outdated terminology to describe them |

Started wearing them after my mum had bought me an awful pair of shoes and my sister suggested I try something called a 'baseball boot'. I was about 11 and have been wearing some sort of boot ever since. |

"Can you walk in them?
I love the classic look of them, but I can't wear them
They make me walk like Pingu"
Could you put some wedged padded insoles in them? |

"We love our converse. They're the one shoe that looks better the dirtier they get. Feel bad when I inevitably have to replace them. Then the cycle starts all over again. "
Oh not for me..I don't like dirty converse |

"Is there an age limit to wearing these?
There’s no age limit on anything you wanna wear Make your own rules do not follow other people’s I agree,but its like old men in football shirts."
Haha yeh but I don’t see an issue there either. No I’m a big believer in wearing what you want at any age..I smite the fact when I see people doing just that. It’s only material after all right! |

"Dire kiddies footwear, i despise 'converse' and 'vans' & 'uggs' 
I'm happy to be a "dire kid" although i wouldn't wear Uggs.
I fancy a pair of snuggly Uggs for winter. I've never had a pair "
I'm not keen on them as they weren't very comfy when i tried some on |

Ah but you changed what you said now, first you said 'old men in football shirts' now you've changed it to ' old overweight men squeezed into a too tight football shirt' ... they are very different 'looks'. |

Yes your right,two different things,a hot bod older guy in a football shirt,opposed to a larger maybe obese older guy wearing one,the question i was trying to ask is,is there an age limit to wearing some type's of clothing,of course anybody can wear anything they want,no problem with that,but are certain items of clothing only meant for a younger generation? Have i opened up a can of worms? |

Hell I thought that was just me. My small toe on my left foot aches after a couple of hours. |

You haven't opened a can of worms but it is interesting how certain clothes are deemed age appropriate. In general society frowns on older women wearing certain clothes, the term "mutton dressed as lamb" was coined especially for that purpose. Also people will smirk at an older man who dresses in teenager's clothes. God knows why, it's only cloth stitched together. Don't even get me started on older women wearing bikinis or mini skirts because apparently showing aging skin is not right
I think people should wear what they please |

i have various pairs of hightops, some with two lots of laces on them(patterned and coloured) ,some are battered and some pristine...also have some star pattern flats.
my favourite teen baiting endeavour (they still complain as adults!) was to wear one colour on one foot and another on the other!
i also had a pair of converse style calf length boots that i wear with my kilt but they have disintegrated over the years and it is impossible to find a new pairlike them |
