genuinely dont think the Vans are going to be the problem in this situation.............
Will the blood come out of the Vans? Will only end one way

Go for it, they're better looking on a 66 year old than at least 50% of all golf shoes.

I am 50 so not there yet but outside of work I pretty much wear nothing other than Vans, got loads of pairs from standard black boots to the very limited Foo Fighers ones. The lace up shoes at least are fine for any age I think, I wear those on holiday loads when the dress code requires shoes in restaurants.

Vans are ten a penny now, all the young ones wear them, they aren't the cool skater/metal trainers they used to be unfortunately.

From the mention of lace-ups I assume that we're talking footwear here?
Can you post the pics if you do with the vans and on the skateboard ?

I notice you didn't actually say that they were going to be used ON a skateboard!
Even so, a bit 'decorative' imo, though the floral/flower decorated ones might be ok for light gardening!

If they were still cool then a 66yr old wearing them would finally kill them off ?.
When my kids were younger and I'd be dragged into Hollister I'd always laugh when an old dad would come in wearing their gear. Not the image they were after. Side question, what happens to Hollister staff when they get past their 23rd birthday? Nobody knows, they just disappear ?

On the nob scale from 1-10, you are looking at 9 minimum.

Have you ever seen Logan's Run? Quite like that but a bit younger.If they were still cool then a 66yr old wearing them would finally kill them off ?.

Surely you mean "wear", or are you claiming dyslexia?
That was my fear.
Incidentally, it's probably dated badly but I have hugely fond memories of that film. Probably helped by Jenny Agutter in her prime ?
