(Keep in mind my self-consciousness about white shoes to begin with.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneaker-question-2#post-1336254 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 20:53:20 +0000 Glory 1336254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am pretty die hard Adidas for about the past 5 years or so - I may have a pair or 2.. But, I much prefer the Nike over them in this case. Those Nike's totally rock - so much so I have already tried to see if they are avl here in Canada. -- so my vote goes to the Nike. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneaker-question-2#post-1336246 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 20:42:59 +0000 texstyle 1336246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the Nike colors and style I think. The all white shoe doesn't seem as versatile with fall/winter colors.&nbsp; But it is a sneaker so comfort is going to rule the decision in the end. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneaker-question-2#post-1336192 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 19:56:06 +0000 kellygirl 1336192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Suja: I already have the slip ons. I'm looking for a second pair of sneaks. I LOVE the SEs and have almost worn them into the ground already.&nbsp; </p> <p>Thanks! The Nikes are in the lead :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneaker-question-2#post-1336190 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 19:53:59 +0000 Suja 1336190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Nikes. They look more modern to me. &nbsp;I'm loving the sneaker trend. &nbsp;Just curious why you decided against the slip-ons from the previous thread. &nbsp;I love the convenience of slip-ons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneaker-question-2#post-1336187 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 19:52:25 +0000 kellygirl 1336187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Fabbers! I appreciate all of your opinions. It is so helpful to hear your viewpoints. I find the two tone look of the Nike very appealing and think it would be great for fall. I also like the simplicity of the white Addidas. I’ve seen them paired with jeans and black bottoms but perhaps that’s too much contrast for fall/winter? Should optic white shoes be reserved for spring and summer?&nbsp;</p> <p>@JAileen: Thanks for bringing up the weight. I hadn’t thought about that and how funny that these are cycling through our wardrobes again, eh? I had white, leather K-swiss in high school/college which I wore to death. They were a little heavy as I recall. I also remember the Nike Cortes in jr. high. Those were the height of fashion back then :)&nbsp;</p> <p>@Linda: Thanks. You are right--the Nikes are streamlined. That’s what drew me to them. So sleek!</p> <p>@Suz: Lol! I was hoping to avoid a return :)</p> <p>@Shannon and Firecracker: You are right about the Addidas and dresses. I’ve seen lots of examples of that style of shoe on various pinboards and on our Angie too. I really like the look but I’m not sure if I have more than one or two dresses that I would even try pairing with a sneaker. Honestly, I’m also not sure that I could even pull it off comfortably.&nbsp;</p> <p>@lisap: Love the Stan Smiths. I haven’t found them in my size either I thought the Superstar was the next best thing.&nbsp;</p> <p>@Emily: Thanks!</p> <p>@deb: Thanks. I haven’t had much luck with Puma. They seem too narrow and long for my feet. I do love that style though--I tried it on at the Rack earlier in the year.&nbsp;</p> <p>@Susie: Lol! I can’t wait to see you hop on the sneaker train! Thanks for chiming in.&nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneaker-question-2#post-1336131 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 18:49:14 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1336131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the Nikes, but I can't remember the last time I actually bought a white shoe, so I'm a bit biased. I do like the looks of white sneakers on others--very clean and fresh. The Adidas remind me of Angie's sneakers by Propet--the ones <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/08/01/summer-frock-with-big-white-sneakers/" rel="nofollow">she wore with her shirt dress</a>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneaker-question-2#post-1336129 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 18:46:07 +0000 Susie 1336129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the Adidas by far. I don't care for the way the sole comes up onto the toe on the Nikes and the Adidas look less gear-like to me.</p> <p>But take my opinion with a huge grain of sale because I am not into the 'sneakers as shoes' trend!<br />&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneaker-question-2#post-1336119 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 18:39:09 +0000 deb 1336119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried the Pumas? They are very streamlined and my daughter says they make my feet look very small, FWIW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneaker-question-2#post-1336113 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 18:34:15 +0000 Emily 1336113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Nikes better, the shape looks a little more modern and streamlined to me. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneaker-question-2#post-1336092 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 18:18:49 +0000 Anonymous 1336092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh the Adidas, hands down. It is such a clean, classic , retro look...you can never go wrong. I have been eyeing the Stan Smiths - just trying to find them in women's sizes is tough - and really want to wear them with slouchy black trousers and a sweater. &nbsp;It's one of my all-time favourite looks of the year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneaker-question-2#post-1336087 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 18:17:43 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1336087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you're wanting a pair to wear with skirts/dress Kelly, I'd go for the Adidas. They have a cleaner look being all one color and without embellishment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneaker-question-2#post-1336086 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 18:17:04 +0000 Suz 1336086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Comes down to a try-on, Kelly! Both have potential... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneaker-question-2#post-1336083 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 18:13:29 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1336083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the Nikes.&nbsp; They just look a bit more streamlined in the toe area, and as I said before, I love the two tone design. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneaker-question-2#post-1336074 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 18:10:57 +0000 JAileen 1336074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to have shoes like both of these. I had the Nikes nearly 40 years ago, and the Adidas about 20 years ago. I really like both of them. Which are more comfortable? That would really decide it for me. I think the Nikes might weigh less, and therefore might be more comfortable. The Nikes win in the nostalgia category. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sneaker-question-2#post-1336057 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 17:57:41 +0000 kellygirl 1336057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I posted earlier about the Nike "pre Montreal" which got thumbs up. I've been reviewing my sneaker options and would love to get your opinion.&nbsp;If you had to choose between the Nike and the Addidas, which would you choose? I don't know that either would work very well with any of my dresses or skirts but do you have a preference for jeans? TIA! </p>
