I love it. (Love it so much I ordered these when I realized I had no black winter shoes, only boits, and black summer shoes). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-exactly-is-a-sneaker-hybrid#post-1757962 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 20:04:07 +0000 El Cee 1757962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Inge</b> -- Now those are shoes I could totally embrace. I adore the silver ones. Thanks for sharing pics. Nice to know that hybrids are not necessarily high tops.</p> <p><b>Janet</b> -- The Frye hybrids are interesting. It might be worth seeing if they could be dyed. I am another one for whom brown footwear is of more limited use than black pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-exactly-is-a-sneaker-hybrid#post-1757959 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 19:56:07 +0000 Inge 1757959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always think of a sneaker hybrid as footwear that combines the aesthetic of a sneaker with another type of shoe, often in a different material than canvas, e.g. a bootie or an oxford.</p> <p>I have these two pairs of "oxford sneakers", for example: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-exactly-is-a-sneaker-hybrid#post-1757949 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 19:19:33 +0000 MomOfThree1980 1757949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha I like the term snooties! That needs to be a thing. I never knew there was a thing called sneaker hybrids. I'm not really a fan of hightops so that might be why I didn't know though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-exactly-is-a-sneaker-hybrid#post-1757856 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 14:31:26 +0000 Ginger 1757856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heehee, I like "snooties"! These would be best for cool weather for me, and I have a surfeit of casual winter shoes, so I can't indulge... but I love fun shoes like this and seeing how YLF'ers style them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-exactly-is-a-sneaker-hybrid#post-1757831 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 13:39:09 +0000 Janet 1757831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like sneaker hybrids.&nbsp;I've had these Frye bootie/sneaker hybrids for a few years and really like them, but I don't wear much brown, so I usually end up passing them by for some of my black boots instead. I've thought of dyeing these.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-exactly-is-a-sneaker-hybrid#post-1757824 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 13:28:44 +0000 El Cee 1757824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Bonnie</b> -- Your Timberland hybrids are fabulous on you... and very versatile. And, yes, they do not make your feet look large. I may have to give hybrids a try. Perhaps a refined, less chunky version of a hybrid (more boot than sneaker) could work for my size 12 feet. I live in fear of the "boat" effect. ;-)</p> <p><b>Andrea H</b> -- Those Nike Roshe shoes really ARE super cool!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-exactly-is-a-sneaker-hybrid#post-1757718 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 02:13:28 +0000 Bonnie 1757718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was pleasantly surprised that the Timberlands don't make my feet look larger and I wear a 8 1/2 and am not quite 5'5" so you couldn't call my feet petite. &nbsp;Andrea - the Nike Roshe are super cool.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-exactly-is-a-sneaker-hybrid#post-1757688 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 01:18:47 +0000 El Cee 1757688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the pics ladies. Seems to be the love child of a sneaker and a bootie. Does that make it a "Snootie"?  Cute -- but a bit too much like "high tops" which make my feet look HUGE. But I can certainly see why they would be both fun and practical for a lot of you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-exactly-is-a-sneaker-hybrid#post-1757640 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 23:51:04 +0000 minimalist 1757640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What makes them "hybrid" vs ... just variations on sneakers? Marketing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-exactly-is-a-sneaker-hybrid#post-1757591 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 22:23:39 +0000 Andrea H 1757591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooo, Shedev, if you get them I hope you'll post an outfit pic.

You have El Cee sorted. </p> <p>Bonnie, I have the same Timberlands in bright cognac and I love them.

I have gotten so many compliments, they wear really wear, and are super comfortable. I'd also love to see hybrids that other fabbers are wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-exactly-is-a-sneaker-hybrid#post-1757450 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 15:38:36 +0000 El Cee 1757450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie -- In <b>Runcarla'</b>s recent post&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-shoe-folksneaker-trends">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ker-trends</a>&nbsp; you mention that a <b>Sneaker Hybrid</b> is a style that is currently trending.</p> <p>What exactly are <b>Sneaker Hybrids</b>?
