Why can't you wear trainers to a night club but can wear oth

Makes sense.

It's not that the clothing itself is a problem or dangerous; it's the reputation of the people that wear it. Same same for the pub I worked at that had a "No Daytons," policy. As if high quality leather motorcycle boots could harm anyone - no, Dayton boots cannot cause problems and aren't even "low class," to look at - they're several hundred dollars a pair.. but the people who wore them at the time? There's a reason a particular model of boot or two were known as "s**t kickers," and why anyone wearing them was simply asked to change their footwear if they wanted to come in for a beer.

Every bar in my town apparently has a dress code against trainers, but allow everything else, even jogging bottoms. I don't go to them but my boyfriend's sisters went on a regular basis to different local bars (before pandemic) and they say that every bar pleads no trainers. I don't think it's to do with the past fashion, it's just something that bar owners seem to object to.
