Cherry red? Oxblood DMs rule!
Well obviously.
I have two pairs of Docs. One cherry, for casual wear, and one black, for formal wear. Similarly, I have four pairs of Crocs: slippers, DIY, formal and plastic (bought for the beach).
Souvette has two pairs of Docs. One black patent and other floral. She is older than me. Then again, she goes to work in bright yellow tights with smiley faces on them (not sure what the generals make of that!).

The daughter starts gym class in the second semester so I thought new trainers were called for. Sport chek had about 20% of their wall of trainers for women. The remaining 80% was devoted to the male gender who apparently need an extensive choice of really ugly shoes.

Re: Things that make you feel old
About 3-4 years back, OH had to go to a clinic for some minor surgery, in and out the same day, in for about 6 hours. I stayed with her until she was collected from reception by the admissions nurse then set off back home.
She later told me that the nurse had said "If you give me your father's 'phone number, I'll call him when you are ready to be discharged".

Re: Things that make you feel old
This week someone sent me a friend request. I didn't recognize the name but there aren't that many people who reference that Bald Faced Stag in their facebook profiles so I thought I must know her and accepted. Then I realized, she's my young cousin who puts it about, a looker, it wouldn't be kosher really but I'd go there.
And then I chatted with her and she was proud of her grandchildren.

Re: Things that make you feel old
My wife was caught speeding thru' a small town in Nevada in our Canadian minivan with its metric speedo. The policeman asked if she mistook Kms for Mph and she said 'No sir! but my father here is unwell and I'm looking for a clinic". I was still asleep/snoring strapped into the recliner in the back of the minivan.
The policeman then directed her to the nearest 24/7 clinic where she spun around.... then left town.
She told me of her devious trick later...and wondered why I wasn't amused.

Re: Things that make you feel old
...I just ordered three pairs of bootcut levis from JCP for a total of CHF19 more than I would pay for just one pair here!
There will obviously be additional costs... JCP wouldn't let me ship internationally, so I had to resort to using my US reship delivery address, and they'll take it from there, shipping costs as yet unknown.
Feedback will be provided as and when.

And I still don't yet know what the shipping costs will be.
