Thanks! Works for me!

I have a 2 pairs of the normal height high tops, so I think I'll pass on these.

I just did an image search to see if there were any pictures of famous people in them who might have pushed the trend--but then it occurred to me that I wouldn't recognize any of the famous people anyway.

Nordstrom sells them and so (of course) does Zappos.

But those don't work with skorts and skirts. Trust me, you'll look stupid.

I look pretty stupid most of the time, but yah, that would be beyond my normal level of stupidity.

I can think of a lot worse things they could be wearing. Not my style, but I certainly don't have any problems with them. I'd rather have a pair of regular old high tops. (And preferably from LA Gear.)

I like my PF Flyers.

You are impervious to peer pressure.

I'm so old, when I was in HS, we were just about transitioning from little Villager dresses and Nantucket basket purses to Landlubber bellbottoms with midriff tops and leather sandals .
I bought a pair of those red PF Flyers high tops when I was in my early thirties and in my "aerobics instructor" phase. I wore them one day with a turquoise sundress with a red sleeveless t shirt under and my DH told me I had gone "a little too far" for a mother of 2 young kids. Seriously, I did look a little weird. I traded in the high tops for a pair of funky red canvas flats that I wore until they fell apart.

No, I am just without peers!

(seriously, the people I work with are mostly much younger, so unless I am helping them out with something, I am invisible.)

One of my girls was absolutely darling this week. She's African American and had her hair in this really high ponytail and it was all poofy. We're a uniform school so she had on a short khaki colored skirt or skort with a crisp white shirt and a pink cardigan and some pink thing wrapped around the pony tail. Pink is not a school color, but we give them a pass on warm clothing. It's our second year of uniforms and we're easing parents into the outer wear. And then these boots in black. She looked so cute. She's a neat kid, so I may be a little biased. Fabulous writer with a very distinct personality to her writing...
