 But there is no way chucks are inappropriate.  I might not know a lot about fashion, but Chuck Taylors are great for any occasion, any age group, and any clothes you decide to wear. End of story.

I picked up a girl on the Metro because of my Chucks once... she just came up to me and said she liked my shoes, and she ended up giving me her number right before I got off at Bethesda.   But despite that, there are occasions for which Chucks are not appropriate... plus they give you no support...

OK, I'm not going to slip on a pair before running a 10K.  But anything else... [/b]

Alright, fashionable people, honest question: Jack Purcell's.  They look like Chuck's, and I got a pair for being a groomsman (all of us had black/white Jack's to go with tux at the reception), and now I'm deciding when/where it's OK to wear these.  I'll admit, I'm a running shoe devotee...would Jack's be an upgrade?

They dress just fine.  And even if they didn't...great fucking band.  I really don't judge.

I'm sorry.  I don't see how any adult wears Chucks without looking like some 12 year old actor at the Oscars.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Thank you.
 
 I was trying to tell my wife just that, but she wouldn't listen.
 
 Plus, they really, really smell.

so smackie is special dispensation granted to people who bought the limited edition Paul Weller Fred Perry polo?  not that i could ever have gotten one seeing as they were 85 quid...
 
 so i'm guessin' the fashion faux pas incurred by buying a Ben Sherman polo at Costco is pretty high... It goes nicely with the OP shorts bought the same day  
 
 but seriously, as i told kosmette to after wandering the mall post seeing harry potter it's really easy for me to shop anymore seeing as i refuse to buy stripy polos and plaid shirts which dominates 75% of men's causual fashions anymore.  most of the rest the "edgy" graphic t-shirts....  give me a nice 60's inspired geometric print shirt anytime, which are to find

[you be betty]

chucks look good with everything.  even fancy dresses.
 
 
 and they only smell if you don't wear socks!!

 Sure Chucks smell after awhile.  They also get a weird film of some kind that develops from the inside if you don't wear socks - but keep in mind that at 30 bucks a pop, who cares?  There are alot of clothing items that have an age limit.  I just don't think that Chucks are one of them.

Too much money in too few places
 Only puts a smile on particular faces
 Said too much power in not enough hands
 Makes me think get rich quick; take all I can
 Theyre too busy spending on the means of destruction
 To ever spend a penny on some real construction
 
 Watch the money-go-round; watch the money-go-round
 They amuse themselves as they fool around
 Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
 Do like they say, make them vulnerable

That's easy to say when no one sees you.....you always wear socks with shoes.....you probably wear socks and sandals!!!

Chucks are just utterly awful....especially if you are above a size 10. You don't want your feet to look clown size! For $30 you can get a better shoes that will last longer.....you need some cushion on your shoe. Chucks remind me of a bowling shoe somewhat.....plus it will stick because you have no support....maybe some people like smelling toejam!!!
