Was looking online for skateboard wheels to use as axle sliders. Came across skaters shoes that look and describe like feets of engineering. Some are pleasing to the eye as well. Can they be worn by sidewalk commandos or breach of fashion?
 
Are you asking us for permission to wear some shoes you think are cool?
 
You can sport them if you fit any of the following catagories , under 25, live in a trailer park, no idea a belt could be used on your pants , the peak on your ballcap hasn't provided shade for your eyes in 5yrs. And of course if you own white rimmed ********* sunglasses

Sounds dire. The spec sheet on the brand/model I was looking at seemed pretty impressive. Time to re-evaluate under 25 trailer park reverse ballcap crowd? There's no telling what I'll do for fully funktional footwear.

Ha, because they're shoes.

Why not? :) If you like them, get them. Unless they clash with your bike or helmet...
 
well , post up the brand and model and lets have a look.

Right;)

Gist of thread is accidental discovery of better shoe. Not previously on radar. Will 54yr. old man wearing skater shoes look gay without knowing it? Is ignorance bliss?
 
Get neutral colours and you're fine. My opinion on anything else is void since I fit the "under 25" category and only own skate shoes+work boots
 
I've had skate shoes since I was a kid. I'm almost 36 and they're still comfortable. West 49 and royal has dc's on sale all the time.

lol I'm almost 50 and have been wearing "skater" shoes since before they became mainstream. Unless you're gonna wear ones that are pink with flowers on them, I think you are safe from being judged as gay
 
A shoe choice wont make you gay. It wont even make you perceived to be gay unless the perception is made by very misinformed individuals. However a shoe choice can be telling of your individual style and how you carry yourself. You can wear sneakers with a suit. Just don't have neon soles. Converse allstars go with nearly anything, but not the red ones. Skate shoes , Vans in particular can say your comfortable. That's ok. Just don't commit fashion harikari by going to a funeral in a pair of skate shoes, don't disrespect an occasion by dressing down. Take fashion cues from George Clooney not Justin Bieber, I guarantee one will endure long after the other.

Same here.... since the 80's. However the last sentence in your statement... the kid in tims this morning in the black and neon green hi top dc's half done up wearing black skinny jeans and the trendy "I just got out of bed" haircut definitely looked "different"

Really appreciate your sure hand on the tiller calming effect. I was hoping and praying for this answer as it reaffirms my sometimes shaken root belief system. Your detailed synopsis only adds credibility:eek:ccasion9:

That it was:) Deploying the word "But" leads me to believe you thought there might be a problem on my end. Most assuredly not!

No problem at all. I still wear a backpack to work sometimes. Does that mean I'm still a 20yr old kid out of school?

Can't say for certain but it sure seems like a free for all out there. Have you heard about the Mayor?
 
They're light, comfortable, easy to slip on and slip off, winners in my books. Bonus points for cheap. I wear them daily, usually something in black.
