What's with Plimsolls?

[Pwnr]

Hello everybody, has anyone else noticed that pretty much nearly EVERY teenager is wearing a pair of plimsolls? are they like really comfy or something? or is just just the fashion atm? what do you think about them?

[Samantha.]

I like them!
I find them really comfortable!

[Leighanne.]

Both.
I wear them alot because they're comfy and they are in at the moment. >;]

[Meanies]

I've got 2 pairs but ones too small and theyre really comfy so thats why i wear em :) but they arent so good when it rains.

[samsaBEAR]

they are pretty comfy once you've worn them in a bit, plus plimsolls, especially black ones, tend to go quite well with a lot of clothes, and unless you get designer ones, they're usually a decent price

[chantellehugs]

Yups, they're comfy and easy to run in, in-case you're ever being chased, like me x]
Though I have the ones with the ankle bit, like the converse.

yep, you can get a pair of plimsolls from Primark for like £5 :]

This probably makes me seem a bit cheap, but I got mine for £2! x']

[Leighanne.]

lol i know, i was going to say £2 but i thought i won't say that cos' people will think i'm cheap. :L
I got 2 black pairs, a grey pair and some blue ones for £2 each. ;]

[Wayne]

I don't like them tbh.

[Leighanne.]

What's not to like?! ^^

[Pwnr]

I think they suit girls more than boys.

[Wayne]

They're too popular and I don't think they look that good. No offence. They look better on girls than lads.

[MrGazet]

i guess they look good and don't cost that much,
but i don't wear it though

[Tristan]

White ones are nice, on girls but not on guys.
Guys don't suit them... Although 2 of my friends (one who dresses very camp) got them and another decided to follow... lol.

I prefer the shoes I recently bought from River Island though.

But yeah, white ones are nice, other colours I don't like, but good on girls, not guys.

[Leighanne.]

they only look good on slim boys.

[MrGazet]

they only look good on slim boys.

lol true! imagine a fatty wearing one lol :P

[Tristan]

yh.
My friends are slim, those that have them.
The camp dude's like a twig.


anyway these are my shoes :8

much prefer them to plimsolls, and plus I don't want to be getting clothes that my friends have/because my friends have them.

[Pixet]

Ew I hate them. I thought you were meaning pumps. They rock! But plimsolls, no.

[Leighanne.]

Ew I hate them. I thought you were meaning pumps. They rock! But plimsolls, no.

pumps beat plims any day.

[CJW93]

I have too many pairs. They are awesome

[-WooTWooTWooT-]

they look good on girls, aslong as they have nice legs

[AlexOC]

Dey are so 'in' gawd.

[LoveToStack]

They go with a lot of stuff and are fairly simple and cheap. That being said they aren't actually that comfortable because they're flat. On a night out I'd probably wear a nice pair of leather shoes because they are comfortable and plimsoles are just casual wear really.

[,Lexiilu]

They're horrid. I would never own a pair.
I have worn them once in my life for 50s day.

They were absolutely terrible. They also caused me to skin both my legs and knees from tripping on the blacktop >;l

I don't think they look gd with really anything tbh. And I don't find them comfortable at all.

Just my opinion.

[LauFish]

I loves them x

[Bun]

they're not comfy but are cheap and WHITE plims go with most things.

[Andeeh]

i dont wear them cause everyone wears them. i distinctly remember some of the people that now wear them taking the micky out of them a few years ago tho :S

[Decapitated]

they are cheap you can wear them with anything and they are comfy and in fashion, whats not to like?

[Alkaz]

Its wierd, no one liked them at school, now they are in fashion. Madness :P
But ye, they do look good with most stuff and are comfortable :D And ye, I brought like 6 pairs from primark for £2 each :P they get dirty pretty quick and its easier to just get a new pair :P

[9y]

They are fashion but yes, they are really comfortable. My friend wears them for biking. I wear them for nights out, currently have 4 pairs! :D

[Arron]

i ƒ (heart symbol on Habbo) them, the only footwear that are really comfy and goes with these black jeans i have.

[J0SH]

I've never noticed this, but we used to wear plimsols in P.E when I was in year 6, so if they're the exact plimsols you're on about, them people are mad :P

[Callum.]

i ƒ (heart symbol on Habbo) them, the only footwear that are really comfy and goes with these black jeans i have.

wow, that's the saddest thing i've seen today

but i don't mind them. own a couple of pairs. good to just chuck on

[Misawa]

It's called fashion, my friend, and fashion today is tacky.

[-K8T!E-]

i <3 em' ive got purple ones :)

[bruno]

I got some from Next but they're a pain in the arse to get on.

[clueless]

i live in them they are seriously comfy and go with anything

plus you can get them really cheap

[lick]

i got a black pair for school and omg feels so good

[colourpot]

ive got a pair, i find them really comfy and tbh they seem to go with anything you wear :P ive had a few pairs tbh. i dont mind getting them dirty or if they get ruined then ill just go and buy a new pair :P

[Glitter]

i proper love em, always wear a pair on my driving lessons cause of how comfy they are. and they look really good with a long top and tights. :)

[Andeeh]

could someone answer this though? how long have you worn them for, or is it since they have become 'fashionable'?

[DamianLove]

They are practical and therefore have become fashionable due to so many wearing them again.
I have loads aha.
They are just easy to throw on.
I'd say about year I've had atleast one pair.

[luce]

i have a grey pair but i need to buy another pair of white because they have holes in as i wore them so much :eusa_whis

[colourpot]

could someone answer this though? how long have you worn them for, or is it since they have become 'fashionable'?

i cant remember how long they have been "fashionable" for, maybe a few months? dont take my word for it tho. but i've wore them since around july ish? i wear them like every day tbh, or atleast when i go out. really comfy :P

[AlexOC]

I use spongey soles in mine, as the sole is like 3mm :P

[RandomManJay]

I haven't wore plimsolls since I was like 10 lol, they used to be mandatory when you were inside the building of my junior school (only the kids, never anyone else :@).

[Pwnr]

Lol, same! We had to have them on, or we couldn't do gym :(.

[AlexOC]

Yeh but they were crappy plastic black slip-on thin ones.

[Recursion]

[Toughened]

I got black and white and grey checkered ones from topman for £20 and I've out lived them tbh lmao. They go with like everything I wear so they're a little overworn but nevermind.

[Oleh]

My mate at school wears black ones for school and he gets told to take em off, when plimsolls are the replacement for unacceptable shoes

Vans ftw :]
I have about 6-7 pairs go well with jeans too :]

Great for any event really :]

[samsaBEAR]

those vans aren't plimsolls, they're classed as slip-ons

[Barmi]

I refuse to wear them.

They are ugly, impractical, and I wish they had stayed in school PE halls and out of pop culture.

[Xoim]

They do plims, But I love slips :]

[shizzle]

I ave em topman ones, a lot of pairs, black, grey, blue etc.
