Are Skechers cool?

Iris, 28 May, 2008 at 12:52 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 23

or are they acceptable for a 33 year old person? I quite like some of them but am wary of the mutton/lamb problem.

    i don't think they're exclusively cool like those children's shoes with wheels on the bottom, you'd get funny looks if you wore those... but i don't see why not. especially if you are generally one of these groovy types. although as i'm not i may not be able to give the best advice, but i wouldn't give you funny looks if you wore them.

    Link, please.

    I have some, but they are like bowling shoes, which I understand are entirely acceptable for a person in their <ahem> early 30's.

    I don't think Skechers are that trendy to be honest. I did however just make myself sound like someone's granny by using the word trendy.

    Excellent, I don't want to be too cool but neither do I want to be utterly uncool. Black's not too wintery is it? Don;t want Dave Grohl to laugh at me on monday?

    Aw you're going to see the Foos? Jealous! I [L] Dave Grohl! I own some skechers, bought them a couple of weeks ago and I'm nearly 28. Dunno if they are cool or not, I just bought them because they are comfy! I did however have a bit of a nightmare with them. I bought some of the more shoe type ones and wore them without socks to work. I came home and my ankle was black and it took me 4 days to get rid of my black ankle!

    Not amazingly trendy as such, no but I'm 39 and I've got two pairs and I really like them. To be honest, when I'm wearing them with my long jeans, you can't really tell what make they are anyway.

    I've seen lots of people in the ballet pump style ones. I wanted some but when I saw them in my size (6), they looked a bit big and it put me off.

    The leather bit is a bronzy brown and the curtain material bit is sort of pinky purply. They arent' as vile as they sound! Very comfy though. I may also have got the black ones I linked to earlier but for work.

    I like yours best but I didn't see them in town.
