Anonymous wrote:Hi all, my 53-year-old husband dresses in a suit and tie every day but needs some help dressing down. He has some joggers that he likes for casual wear but doesn’t like the look of running shoes so he’s asked me to consult the DCUM gurus for help with a show that looks okay with tapered joggers. I was thinking Allbirds or something but he doesn’t trust my judgement, lol. Any ideas?


Why can't he just go to a store and look at the shoes, try them on and then buy them. Sorry but, if my dh said " I don't trust your judgement" then my involvement would stop

Only if he's over 60


Lots of people in their 30s wear allbirds... I don't get this comment that they're for 60 +?

- a woman in her 30s who loves allbirds, so does my husband, and we have friends that love them too

DH tried these. He went back to Cole Haan Zerogrands because they had some that were more uniform without the two different materials/colors, still casual but a loose more sophisticated.

Anything either:
1. Retro (think sambas, adidas TRX, nike air max or vans)
or 2. the male equivalent of the basic white tennis shoe that see women everywhere wearing (https://www.veja-store.com/en_us/men)
or 3. if they prefer more of a running shoe look anything Bright colored- NB/adidas/ ON sneakers

V pricey, but John Elliott, or their website as inspiration. Leather sneakers, something more structured than allbirds.

I like this suggestion on a slender, smaller framed man, but it would look silly in anyone vaguely tall or big.

Second the AirMax suggestion, unless he is very short and stocky in which case they look too big.


Yes. The slim fashion shoes don’t work for stocky or huskier guys.


Pp here. My DH who wears the Onitsuka’s is very slender — tall with a light, long-distance runner body type. Makes sense they wouldn’t look right on someone heavier; didn’t think about that!

Good lord! NO!


Bah humbug to you too! New poster - I know a hot dad in my neighborhood who wears low profile shoes like the Mexico or the Feiyue classic. I know because I like low sneakers like classic Keds and I wanted a pair of Tigers, but then I didn’t get them because I thought it would be creepy and weird to get the same shoes as my kid’s friend’s dad.


NP here - I have tigers and they are the best. No one else will notice that you have the same shoes!
