Think people should be putting their age! Am getting to the age where footwear becomes important (or you've gone "dad"), so watching this thread.
Currently manky trainors - early 30s.

Most likely seen in Merrell Ottowa water Pro's - had about 4 pairs now, really really breathable, which is great for me as I usually always have warm feet.
Beyond that any old pair of Merrells for winter and of course some brown loafers (just about worn out a pair of Cushe and now looking at some rather fetching Base shoes).
Old trainers smell bad and should be replaced by the way, particularly if they are from 1994 (how light are you on your feet ffs, I wear through a sole in about 12 months).

Some of you worry too much about what other people think about you. It's quite probable that they never think about you. Wear what you want.

I've just pressed the button on a pair of the vans gravel shoes..
If I start wearing them for every day use now they should be nicely worn in for mtb use in time for spring..Posted 7 months ago # -
Work - Crockett and Jones Brogues
Play - timberland Deck shoes when warm, their Suede boots when not.I'm an old git me - and I don't think trainers and jeans are on at my age

I'm 31 and still actively skate and I am a dad so I evidently fall into the emo dad pile especially when you chuck in skin tight black jeans, cut off denim jacket covered in turbo negro patches and old maiden t shirts.
I wear skate shoes.
Vans
Emerica
Lakai
NikeSB
Adidas skate
Fallen
etc...Posted 7 months ago # -
Pair of Lacoste sneaks.
Stopped wearing skate shoes when I stopped skating. Bit like I don't wear astroturf boots around when I'm not playing footy really.

Anything from Italian Leather pointy toed work shoes to G-Star plimsoles, including Fatface flip-flops, NOrth Face technical type shoes, Nike 6.0's, various Limited edition Nikes & some fancy boots I got last year in the sales, not forgetting boat shoes, Ontisua Tigers, and about a zillion other pairs of shoes I seem to own - well over 20 at the last count.

Utter nonsense about trainers and age. 38 and wear nike airmax, Puma RS1, also still wear rockport xcr, I'm on my 6th pair since i was 19. Regularly weat my scarpa hiking boots too. Tend not to stockpile these days though.
I'll still be wearing trainers in 20 years time, its what im happy with couldn't give a toss about otger peoples perceptions.
Wouldn't dream of wearing skate/biking shoes though. They are all horrendous to my eyes.

Bol +1
Salomon XA pros - various versions but incredibly versatile shoe - dog walks, 100 mile ultra's, watching sons' sport, shopping, cycling....all covered

I keep trying to get into wearing shoes, but its just not me
I'm in my late 30's and wear Salomon trail running shoes or adidas Gazelles or some timberland leather halfway between trainers and shoes type things that I got in a sale

Lodrik you wear Nike Airmax but you think skate shoes look bad, do they clash with your shellsuit?
Posted 7 months ago # -
Salomon XA pros
+1 - probably the most versatile shoe I've owned. Just on pair number three now (the blue is a bit bright - hoping it dies down a bit as they wear.
Other than that, a pair of brown brogue boots when trainers are a bit of a no-no. Converse for general louche-ing around.

Everybody thinks about me Dave, I'm a style icon, why even you think of me, you were worried about me sounding 12 in that other thread, which naturally I'm grateful for..Posted 7 months ago # -
I'm told socks and sandals are "on trend" this season, seriously.
I wear what the **** I like, but was told by some fashion students at a party that my Duffs were quite appropriate for somebody in his 30s. So there.

You seem to have forgotten going to achingly trendy east London clubs, gadding about like a dandy and impressing girls.

I believe you were actually insulted. You are so old and achingly unhip that you've not realised yet

'wear what you want' is hardly a put down - it was a call to emancipation from the footwear nazis

AllStars for slouching and adidas for the gym and the bike.
I'm 41 and have no problem wearing trainers.

Theres one of those "trendy" east london clubs in brick lane..
If you go there, cough, you'll find most people dancing/prancing and gadding about in trainers.. It's whats best for bouncing around in see..If you are into impressing girls, you're in the wrong end of "Tarn" sonny.

Edit - I've just seen your post.
Darcy - how could someone who inspired me to buy skinny jeans and hareem pants own a pair of shoes so revolting

Indeed they do and indeed they were, I can confirm this as I was at a French electro/indie night hosted by Kitsune in XOYO last Friday (wearing hightops). When I’m at home in SW London the secret weapon brogues come out play.
I was mostly commenting on the fact that some people have different requirements from their footwear.

skinnies and those blue salomons must just look wrong on all levels
