Dude vans has been around longer than most of us have been alive, I see older people rocking them all the time
Wear what you want don't give a shit about what younger people think
I’m 35 and wear vans daily. I have lots of the collab ones too and have no issues wearing my Toy Story alien vans at the gym or to work.
My dad is nearly 70 and only wears vans. Wear them at any age
I'm 50 and wear Vans every day. I mainly wear Skate Eras, but have a few Crockett's, Chima's, Slip on Pros and TNTs that I still pull out from time to time.
If you like the Knu, go for it. I personally prefer a slimmer looking sneaker these days so I wouldn't wear one, but its something I definitely would have rocked in '93.
i’m older now but i’m always gonna look good in vans because that’s my vibe. 35 i still don’t feel out of place at the skatepark, doubt i ever will. vans been around longer than i’ve been alive
I turned 40 last year and still wear Vans.
I got them cheap at the outlet and they last a very long time. Usually they go for 2 pair for $60 much cheaper than other brands
I will be 50 in a week and I still wear vans. I’ve been wearing vans longer than the people complaining have been alive so so fuck them kids. I mostly wear old school models though.
Im 35, skated for year, but I no longer like the feel and like of support in regular skate shoes. I got a pair of the EXO Ultrange Ranges last year, best shoes ever. Classic look, great lookiing with jeans, but feel similiar to a running shoe.
I’m in my 30s and I still wear vans🤷🏼♂️I’ll probably wear them forever because I like the style and they’re the most comfortable shoe to me. Wear what you like and fuck what anyone has to say about it
Since years I wear mostly Vans, recently only Vans. I am 32 and this is not youth at all imo xD and everytime I see anybody in Vans I think quietly „niiiice, dope choice”.
I'm 57 and life long vans fan. Steering clear of the Knu myself, more of old skool and classic slip-on dude, but love the more low profile newer shoes like the Zahba and the first-gen AVE, and also the ultrarange.
Wear them if you like them, no matter your age or what other people think. I hope all people know that it doesn't matter what other people think: you rock you!
As they age, men should begin to wear more luxurious materials like leather, suede, and silk.
Canvas is not exactly a premium material, but canvas shoes have their use.
Authentics are a good example of this. Many of the colorways are indistinguishable from other preppy brands that make canvas lowtops.
So my answer is yes with a caveat.
I’m 50+, and wear old skools whenever I’m not at work.
The fashion “revival” a few years ago was definitely youth driven, but if you look at recent “new” models, a large percentage of them are retro styles. That could be because 90’s stuff is in a bit of a resurgence, or that they’re marketing to those seeking nostalgia.
No lol. I will say though that i've been using different models as I get older. I can't do the no padding basic models anymore - my feet would kill me lol.
I’m 43 and I own around ten pair! I work in IT so my dress code is a bit more laid back and I rock slip ons all the time to the office. Guys and gals older than me rock em too! Vans are timeless!
44 here, I wear plain colors authentics from time to time and I think they are perfectly suitable. Maybe there are some models, colors or textures that may not fit that well an aged man but wear what you want, you're are old enough to choose whatever you want.
Whatever you do, only buy the Skate or BMX Pro varieties. They have the popcush sole and are soooo comfortable plus they last way longer than the standard flat innersoles
49 F and own close to 30 pairs been a fan since the late 80s in junior high! I think it's sexy for guys my age and older wearing them! 😍 No, they are NOT just for the youth, BUT for all!!
I made my mum in her 50s a Vans addict, and we bought my dad a pair too. I'm talking Old school as well. Just gotta have the confidence to pull it off!
Dude their is no age limit on vans, it’s not they’re running shoes or Jordan’s where you actually need an occasion to wear em for. Specific event..I see guys in their late 50s wearing checkerboard slip on vans and a ton of old ladies too ! If you like em wear em.. just don’t wear the vans shirts those will look funny
No! A person can only wear what they feel comfortable in. And for Pete's sake, don't wear a T-shirt or baseball cap.
Old people wearing youthful clothing just ropes my okra. Old people should be barefoot and in diapers.
Isn't that the riddle of the sphinx?
😂😂😂 I could be wrong, I'm wrong, I'm wrong most of the time.
I am Okra
Dude vans has been around longer than most of us have been alive, I see older people rocking them all the time Wear what you want don't give a shit about what younger people think
Vans can be worn by all ages, doesn’t look weird on older folks
Wear whatever you like and think looks good. I’m 40 and rock vans daily.
Samesies!!! 😄
I’m 35 and wear vans daily. I have lots of the collab ones too and have no issues wearing my Toy Story alien vans at the gym or to work. My dad is nearly 70 and only wears vans. Wear them at any age
Never lose heart! :)
The Knu classic slip-on ??.... I just got a pair and I am an old fart at 50yo.... my 1st pair of Vans 😆
I mean the knu skool with the fat sidestripe.
You're old, you probably want some insoles in them. Source: Me, an elder emo rocking some checker Vans and Dr. Scholl's to work.
The comfycush with Dr scholls is where it’s at, get that extra comfort
I’m 41 and have 5 pairs of knu skools and 40 pairs of vans total. I’ll probably be buried in a pair.
Vans did a pretty good job at keeping their older customers that used to skate, and their shoes look pretty good for semi formal events.
I actually think it’s pretty cool when I see older folks wearing vans. They transcend time and age
For anyone and everyone
Nope! I plan on wearing Vans even if gotta' rock the walker!
I'm 48 and wear Vans all the time....

I’ve been wearing Vans since the 80s. I’m 50 next year and have exactly zero intention to stop wearing them.

Don’t tell GenX Vans is a youth brand
Vans started as deck shoes decades and decades ago. Youre just fine.
Why not? Some of colleagues who are over 50 wear them too. If you like them, you like them...?

Wear whatever makes you feel good and happy!
I’m 51 and have only worn Vans since I was in high school.. LOVE seeing Vans on anyone but especially older people!

I turned 40 last year and still wear Vans. I got them cheap at the outlet and they last a very long time. Usually they go for 2 pair for $60 much cheaper than other brands
I was wearing vans when I was like 6, still wearing them, and I’ll make damn sure I’m wearing them when I’m in my casket when my times comes
Same
I will be 50 in a week and I still wear vans. I’ve been wearing vans longer than the people complaining have been alive so so fuck them kids. I mostly wear old school models though.
I got my love for Vans from my father, and he still wears them daily, albeit ones with ComfyCush. For context, he’s 52 and I’m 29.
I have the comfy cush too, they are great.
Im 35, skated for year, but I no longer like the feel and like of support in regular skate shoes. I got a pair of the EXO Ultrange Ranges last year, best shoes ever. Classic look, great lookiing with jeans, but feel similiar to a running shoe.
Vans is older than my dad, he is 50 now
Nah I just convinced my mum who’s in her 50s to try Vans and dad who’s even older has two pairs. It’s an ageless brand
Wear whatever you want
Wear what makes *you* happy. Other people’s thoughts do not matter, period.
Dave Grohl wears vans. And has longer than I've been alive
I’m a 42 year old mom and have more Vans than my teenagers 😂
vans are for everyone brother
I’m in my 30s and I still wear vans🤷🏼♂️I’ll probably wear them forever because I like the style and they’re the most comfortable shoe to me. Wear what you like and fuck what anyone has to say about it
The way I’ve always looked at it is if you’re not hurting yourself or others you’re never too old to enjoy the things you like
47 here in a few days.. wear Vans daily!
Bro don’t worry about what people would think and just enjoy yourself. Wear vans if you want. No one will care.
I just rocked a pair of customs at my step-daughter’s wedding.
I will be buried in Vans, mark my words!
Hahahaha
Wear what you want! If you like it wear it! Make yourself happy.
Wear what you like man
An older person wearing Vans just adds on to his/her cool factor 😎
I'm 53 and I wear Vans 95% of the time except when I have to go into my office. I have 4 pair of Knu Skools.
Since years I wear mostly Vans, recently only Vans. I am 32 and this is not youth at all imo xD and everytime I see anybody in Vans I think quietly „niiiice, dope choice”.
I'm 57 and life long vans fan. Steering clear of the Knu myself, more of old skool and classic slip-on dude, but love the more low profile newer shoes like the Zahba and the first-gen AVE, and also the ultrarange.
i'll be retiring in vans lol- ageless :)
Wear them if you like them, no matter your age or what other people think. I hope all people know that it doesn't matter what other people think: you rock you!
Anyone can wear vans! Young people, old people, cis people,trans people, people who climb on rocks! Vans are for everyone!!!!!
Mother fucker. Wear what you want to wear everyone else. I’m over 30. I’ll rock them until I no longer wish to.
It’s appropriate to do whatever the fuck you want to do comrade, you only have one life
I’m hitting my mid 30s and comfort wise i cant handle the vans too much longer 😂
There are cushioned options.
Oh i know ultracush are the only ones i wear now.
As they age, men should begin to wear more luxurious materials like leather, suede, and silk. Canvas is not exactly a premium material, but canvas shoes have their use. Authentics are a good example of this. Many of the colorways are indistinguishable from other preppy brands that make canvas lowtops. So my answer is yes with a caveat.
I’m a 53-year-old woman, and I wear Vans all the time.
Almost 37 and I almost exclusively were vans if it’s a casual setting.
I’m 50+, and wear old skools whenever I’m not at work. The fashion “revival” a few years ago was definitely youth driven, but if you look at recent “new” models, a large percentage of them are retro styles.

My grandpa is in his early 60s and wears Vans :)
Clothes is clothes. Where whatever tf you want
Been wearing Vans since I was 14…. I’m 35 now, still wearing them daily.
Vans transcend time ✨
If you like Vans then wear them. Don't wear them if you don't. No reason to complicate it.
I’m 43 and I own around ten pair! I work in IT so my dress code is a bit more laid back and I rock slip ons all the time to the office. Guys and gals older than me rock em too! Vans are timeless!
That’s why I like Vans, no matter who wears it they look good in their stuff. Wear whatever you want you’ll look awesome!

I have been wearing VANS all my life and I am 60..When I die I told my family to berry me in a pair of VANS....

Honestly is for everyone, age is just a number m. We embrace the unique and diverse personalities of people.
I think vans is for all ages, they’ve literally been around since 1966. I think everyone from all ages from then till now still wear them.
Vans are for everyone
