Or look for a similar sneaker with a lower profile - I think the substantial heel is making these look more 80s aerobics class than you probably want.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-these-sneakers-be-cute#post-880505 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 22:58:42 +0000 Nicole D 880505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Pretty utilitarian. &nbsp;You can't always have it all! &nbsp;I have yet to find a fashion sneaker that is as functional as an actual athletic shoe (not that I have done an exhaustive search). https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-these-sneakers-be-cute#post-880499 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 22:47:06 +0000 Beth 880499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with either trying a fashion sneaker or another color in these.<br /><br />But I admit to having a poison eye...my dad wears exactly these sneakers, in that color&nbsp;and he's 81. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-these-sneakers-be-cute#post-879087 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 18:54:54 +0000 cciele 879087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree -- size up with a fashion sneaker and make sure they fit your orthotics! I wear an insert in my Cons (otherwise they'd hurt too) and I also have a pair of hot pink Onitsuka Tigers I think if you get a random bright color, you don't have to worry about matching with your clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-these-sneakers-be-cute#post-879043 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 18:04:45 +0000 rachylou 879043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They'd be cute on me! Hehe.</p> <p>I think what you have to do is add a little *girly sweet* somewhere else in your outfit to make these cool and the overall effect cute. Like a small patterned floral, a ruffled sleeve... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-these-sneakers-be-cute#post-879042 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 18:04:38 +0000 Jules 879042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a colour would be better too. Are you looking at other brands? Addidas, Pumas, Supergas... I agree that cons don't quite cut it, although Angie did mention sizing up with an insole </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-these-sneakers-be-cute#post-879018 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 17:24:04 +0000 annagybe 879018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you need a different funkier color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-these-sneakers-be-cute#post-879013 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 17:14:49 +0000 Marley 879013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know that New Balance shoes are really comfy - but to me, they are more of an exercise sneaker, than a fashion sneaker - and I just can't imagine a way to wear them without them giving off that vibe. I would go for more of a fashion sneaker - sized up one size, so that you can wear them with your orthotics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-these-sneakers-be-cute#post-878858 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 13:46:50 +0000 harmonica 878858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great thread - i've been spotting the New Balance sneakers myself, but were not sure if they would come out to casual looking. I'll be following the answers here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-these-sneakers-be-cute#post-878790 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 12:11:22 +0000 Kalli 878790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like the boys do it, bf jeans rolled with a hint of ankle showing, comfy t and a smashing blazer, cool jacket etc. Don't forget to bring the girl by accessorizing with a fab purse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-these-sneakers-be-cute#post-878787 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 12:07:10 +0000 Lisalou 878787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know they're not cute-cute, but can a 40 year old mom make them look slightly stylish as run-around-town sneakers? I want pair of totally comfy sneakers (I love my converse chuck lowtops but they actually make my feet hurt when I wear them all day, and my orthotics don't fit in them!). How would you style these so they don't look frumpy--like all the street style pics of super young girls wearing them looking hip? </p>
