Will wearing Converse daps at 48 years young make me look like a dork? What would you go for if you were me and wanted some new daps for casual wear?

lots of different types of Cons.
I wear Vans daps - much better for a 30-something.

I've heard some posh folk calling them trainers!Always referred to them as Daps maybe it's just a valleys thing? a few mates wear vans but I prefer the look of Converse, especially the allstar. Just not sure about the age thing, maybe just looking for reassuarance.

My colleague from the South West also recognizes "daps" for what used to be called "plimsoles".

Man in 40s with Chuck Taylor's? I'd say yes*

*not in 40s (yet), but bespectacled lawyer wearing a pair in the office today.

Cons are still very popular among my A level students, which is nice to see. But the coolest* guy in the class wears Vans.

Nowt wrong with All Stars or Vans at any age.

*he's not cool
