When Bwog calls, our readers answer. Remarking on her fashion column in the Telegraph, we asked Bee Shaffer to settle the age-old question, the apple of discord that has been hurled into so many groups of friends, tearing them apart: New Balances or Converses?

Bee writes in:

Up until last year I wore New Balance sneakers everywhere, but then
my boyfriend, at the time, told me I was wearing “grandma shoes”
and bought me a pair of black Converse. I threw out the New Balance
and haven’t gone back since.

Which is less than comforting to Bwog, who is currently sporting gray New Balance 991s–although our grandmother is quite fashionable!
