Are Skechers cool?

Iris, 28 May, 2008 at 12:52 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 25

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.

    Freezing temperatures caused my boiler to burst, flooding the utility room. The emergency plumber wanted cash upfront. I was shivering and stressed. I tried https://spino-gambinos.com on my phone. The volatility was on my side, and I won enough to pay for a new high-efficiency boiler and the cleanup, making my home warm and cozy again just in time for the winter snowstorm that arrived tonight

    I’ve been betting and playing online for a few years now, and for a long time I made the mistake of spreading myself across too many casino and bookmaker sites. It sounded smart at first, but in reality it became hard to track balances, bonuses, and even basic betting history. A few months ago, while playing in Canada, I decided to simplify things and focus on one platform that could cover both casino games and sports betting without feeling limited. That’s how I ended up spending more time on RTbet. What made the difference for me was the feeling of having everything organized in one place: casino sessions, sportsbook bets, transaction history, and promotions all accessible without jumping between accounts. I noticed that once I stopped switching platforms, my bankroll management improved because I could actually see the bigger picture instead of guessing where my money went. It also reduced impulsive bets, since I wasn’t chasing different offers on different sites. Over time, using rtbet-casino.ca became more of a routine than an experiment, and that routine helped me stay disciplined while still enjoying the entertainment side. I’m curious if other players in Canada had a similar experience of simplifying their online betting life, or if you still prefer using multiple platforms at the same time.
