Friday Finds: Sneaks
Or sneakers, trainers, tennis shoes, or whatever else you may call them! Slip on or tied, sneaks are some of my most-worn shoes and some of my favorite foundations for outfits. They’re comfortable and cool, and can be basic or very bold.
Here are some fun options that I found.
Ace Leather sneaker, Keds - If you’ve read almost any post I’ve done since purchasing these shoes (so the past few months?), I love them. They’re very comfortable, a flattering fit, and basically perfect. They sometimes squeak a little, not gonna lie, but it isn’t enough to bother me.
Coaster sneaker, Gola - I have a different pair of sneakers from Gola, and they have a very comfortable insole. I’d advise that they seem to run a bit big. I like that this pair has three different textures and shades of white, which makes it a versatile neutral sneaker.
Polka Dot V-10, Madewell x Veja - I. Love these shoes. I really do. If you don’t already know this about Veja sneakers, the tongue is very rough and can really be uncomfortable, and that is true of these. I pull them entirely to the side which forces them to bend against the foot, and there’s no problem.
Neon sneakers, Keds - Classic design in two beautiful bright colors. I’m partial to the yellow, myself, but I know my son would love the pink. A bright sneaker is an easy way to punch up an otherwise neutral/basic outfit.
Sidewalk slip-on, Madewell - I love this splattered version of a basic slip-on. There are a lot of nice colors in it (orange, yellow, blue, pink), so they would look great with a lot. I really see them with blue jeans and a colorful shirt.
Champion Wildflower Embroidered, Keds - These are some of the newer offerings from the ongoing Rifle Paper Co collab with Keds. I love that these flowers are embroidered instead of printed. The texture makes them stand out more. So gorgeous. The colors really pop against the black background.
Double Decker Wildflower Embroidered, Keds - Same embroidered flowers as above, on a light background and a slip-on shoe. This shoe feels more summer/spring appropriate.
Vintage Floral chuck, Converse - So these last are the same print in two rises. I think both are great, with wonderful color choices. And I am generally partial to low-tops.
Vintage Floral hi-top, Converse - From the pictures, it looks like the background of the hi-top is white/ecru, while the low-top is pink. I don’t wear hi-tops like I used to, but these might bring me back.
Do you wear sneakers, a lot or a little? What are some of your favorite brands? I’m not saying I need more enabling, it would be strictly for research purposes.
