the age old question:
how old is too old to be wearing trainers.....
this 42 year olds teenage son thinks i am too old to be wearing trainers
for the record, i do wear them every day, but not in the restaurant
i only have nike, but about a dozen different ones
nike seem to have a wider fitting than others, which suits my feet that i stand on for about 18 hours every day
so when does it become too old to wear trainers? |  |

You're too old for flashing lights but the little wheels are still ok. |  |

Converse for me. Retro init?
I do like adidas but the last two pairs ive had neo Arg. The soles all came away within a few months. Horse sh*t of a design. |  | | |

its not just how old you are, its whether you still use them in anger. if you cant see your trainers because your stomach is in the way and you are over 50, then I suggest you should put on slippers or proper lace ups... |  |

I'll always wear them. Well, actually I wear skate shoes because they are usually nice and thick and durable. The problem there is that Vans, who used to be great, now make all their skate shoes look stupid.
I'm currently on a pair of cheap Airwalks which are super comfortable but not very waterproof. So I'm now looking for a waterproof skate shoe that is relatively plain and not tw@tty. |  |

Still wear converse, sambas or similar casually.
What's the alternative? Moccasins? |  |

To be honest Brian, what with my back, I only have time for laces at the weekend  | |

I'm old enough to wear what I bloody well like.
Which means trainers. Stan Smiths are nice. Converse look good but they're so shoddily made. Like having a thin sheet of cardboard between my feet and the pavement.
p.s. I recommend DM's in this weather. [Post edited 25 Nov 2016 10:03]

Reckon it's okay to wear trainers over 50 so long as there's no discernible label on them.
Any form of walking bill board should be consigned to the young. Over a certain age you are not promotional. |  | | |

Not true. Everyone aspires to being me. It's hard to stay humble sometimes. | |

At 61 I remember fondly remember getting all excited over graduating from wearing Green Flashes, to a pair of Gola Harriers.
These days I recognise the luxury of comfortable footwear, and as previously noted , I'll wear what I bloody well like.
While the days of Vans and the like are long gone, find Asics gel Aratas difficult to resist. |  | | |

I run and over 40 years old . Like Saucony trainers for running and when I buy a new pair use the old ones for general walking and often wear them most days as more comfortable. I am not into trainers as a fashion statement but have around 30 minutes daily walking to and from station so more comfortable. | | | |

the 80s casuals website has helped me relive some past memories .
still after the most coveted pair of Borg Elites in kangaroo skin (gold tick) , ruined my last pair a few years ago , I still shed a tear now |  |

I'm 52 and I wear Merrells all day.
I have several pairs that range from trainers to shoes to walking shoes, but they all go with well with jeans or casual trousers.
The only person who ever complains is the missus... of course. |  |
