    Um...dude? You are wearing a kilt. You are already not conforming to the rules. No one is going to notice the fact that you're 36 and wearing Docs. They're from the old days, as are mine, their Grandfathered in. We wore them before they were cool. I believe the correct term is OG.

    If it makes you feel better, my wife is 35 and has about a dozen pairs of Docs in every shape and color right up to 21 eyelet, knee high, tall healed type units and she wears them regularly.

    Age is a state of mind and we don't always need to feel and act in a way such that is dictated by the number of rings we have if we were to be cut in half and had them counted. You see those pictures of the elderly acting like kids when they are in their retirement. I can assure you that they don't "think" they are as old as their years.

    Quite frankly, if you're in a kilt, very few people are even going to notice what you're wearing on your feet. Well, except for the group here, but then we're used to seeing a kilt.
