If you’ve ever been to norther Europe, many women wear this style of shoe with skirts and dresses and it doesn’t read as “young.” It does read as cool/creative, but not like a teenager. It’s a very practical shoe.[/quote]

We aren’t in Northern Europe, sweetie.[/quote]

NP. And?[/quote]

So, it’s really weird to hold up fashion trends in a region 4,000 miles away as applicable to here. Or as desirable.

I have mixed feelings on Dr Maartens. I came of age in the 1980s when wearing them was a counter culture statement. Now they are mainstream and ubiquitous so they’re really rather … basic.

Can a 40 yo wear them? I guess so, if she’s basic. [/quote]

What’s basic is not wearing what you love because too many other people wear it, too.

If they speak to you, wear them![/quote]

No, hun. Basic is slavishly following a trend … in Northern Europe. [/quote]

You judge peoples shoes.

Nothing more basic than that.
