Well I'm 41 and have never owned skate shoes, but thinking of getting some. The thing is, it appears they're the business for riding a unicycle with, and when riding a unicycle (even badly like me), the local kids seem to think I'm cool - I'm sure some of the mums on the schoolrun think I'm a bit of a nutter, but I doubt any of them are paying much attention to my shoes.

I'm 24 and am normally found knocking about in either nike high tops or altberg assault boots (warm and comfy)

I just bought a pair of those Solomons for winter trail running - will be caked in mud as soon as the weather turns and trails get wet.

As for trainers, my casual / work wear is generally always my most recently retired pair of running shoes (always New Balance) - if it works for Steve Jobs, it's good enough of me...

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.

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.
