What about FitFlop sneakers anyone? My cousin is living in hers (yep she got me onto the thong style too!)... Maybe I will have to do a test run on the Cons in my teen age sons' old ones... Am I too old for Cons is the other question???? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-favorite-fashion-sneakers#post-545209 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 23:15:27 +0000 Beth Ann 545209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire -- I got a chuckle from your comment about your daughter's review of Keds! My daughter is 10, and I think you just gave me a glimpse of the future!</p> <p>Mandipa -- thanks for reminding of the Adidas! Those might be an option alongside Pumas for me! Now I'm off shopping..........grocery shopping. ugh. On a Sunday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-favorite-fashion-sneakers#post-545159 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 21:22:30 +0000 christieanne 545159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Cons (have some cons that look exactly like those Simples actually) but also Puma to change things up. Vans are pretty comfortable and a little sleeker than Cons which may make you less conscious of the "white toe" factor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-favorite-fashion-sneakers#post-545147 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 21:04:32 +0000 DeniseP 545147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Converse sneakers give me a frumpy feeling.<br /> I got some Born Kai this fall, and they're very comfortable and cute!</p> <p>Here's a link to the brown leopard color that I have.

One pair is grey from Nordstrom, full price, the other pair are navy blue from TJ Maxx. The latter appear to be of lower quality but seem "good enough" and I think I prefer the navy to the grey. So one pair is going back, will post a k/r soon.</p> <p>Thanks for the Simple and Vans links, I like those too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-favorite-fashion-sneakers#post-545117 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 20:13:49 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 545117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have Vans which I quite like - the tie ones, not the slip-ons. They are real skate shoes, though, so they're pretty bulky and too hot for mid-summer. I've been looking for a replacement pair of lightweight fashion sneaks - I had two pair which I really loved, one was the Asics Onitsuka Tiger <a href="http://www.zappos.com/product/126799/color/2537">kinda like these</a> which I wore until they were worn out. And the other was a pair of Kangaroos - remember those - which were low-profile a lot like the Asics. They don't seem to make those anymore for adults, sadly, because they were the best-fitting sneakers I ever had. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-favorite-fashion-sneakers#post-545105 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 19:39:20 +0000 goldenpig 545105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie converted me and now I have two pairs of Converse All Stars in red and yellow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-favorite-fashion-sneakers#post-545101 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 19:31:28 +0000 Andrea W 545101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Converse, every time (I have had silver, pink, red and navy ones).

But the other colours are neat too. Funny how some of us find the contrasty white rubber toe so appealing, while others don't care for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-favorite-fashion-sneakers#post-545030 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 17:34:47 +0000 Beth 545030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cons with an insole, please:)</p> <p>I have a classic gray pair and as well as a light blue suede pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-favorite-fashion-sneakers#post-545025 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 17:31:59 +0000 Mander 545025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that's why I like the idea of the checkered ones, Keruchina -- comfort shoes, but with a bit of a punk/skater association! I've never actually tried a pair on, though. I'll keep an eye out and try some one of these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-favorite-fashion-sneakers#post-545008 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 17:17:00 +0000 Jem 545008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My new favorite is Converse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-favorite-fashion-sneakers#post-545003 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 17:10:06 +0000 keruchina 545003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mander, my fashion sneakers are Vans. </p> <p>I had Chuck Taylors all through college, but they were my dog's favorite thing to chew (other than my underwear) when she was in her puppy chewing phase. I replaced a couple of pairs of them but hated when they looked brand new. I got these Vans as a way of branching out.</p> <p>I love them, but they get kind of stinky.</p> <p>I think the checkered ones are classic punk rock. My only concern is that they would be less versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-favorite-fashion-sneakers#post-544999 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 17:02:10 +0000 annagybe 544999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer Pumas.

I also recall liking the look of these from Angie's post on the sportswear trend: <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/bea-perfed-strap-wedge-sneaker/vp/v=1/845524441925274.htm?folderID=2534374302053469&#038;extid=affprg-2379092-ASHUS4009111720&#038;colorId=11720" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/bea-per.....orId=11720</a></p> <p>What I currently love in my shoe wardrobe are a beaten-up pair of Hush Puppies that are bright and cheery in blue and green stripes. Nothing unusual, really. But what I find charming about them is visible only when I go for a walk on the dirt tracks here after a short shower of rain --- the sole leaves a trail of floral footprints behind me. For some reason, I'm always very kicked about that!</p> <p>ETA: I also like the 'new classic' Adidas Three Stripes in bright plummy colours of suede. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-favorite-fashion-sneakers#post-544974 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 16:30:39 +0000 Isabel 544974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of animal print Simple that I love ( and are very uncharacteristic of me ).</p> <p>Meredith1953 recently posted the ones below and I am IN LOVE with them :</p> <p><a href="http://www.converse.com/?CSID=636_kwid/#/products/shoes/women" rel="nofollow">http://www.converse.com/?CSID=.....hoes/women</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-favorite-fashion-sneakers#post-544958 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 15:57:57 +0000 nancylee 544958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have some blue tennies with an owl pattern all over them...I don't wear them much, but they're fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-favorite-fashion-sneakers#post-544924 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 15:19:39 +0000 Angie 544924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a basic Chuck Taylor Converse gal - and add cushioning insoles.

They have good arch support too. Unfortunately I just went to their website and discovered that after 20 years they're ceasing production. They're great shoes if you can still find any. :(</p> <p>I was lusting over these at Aldo a few weeks ago. I didn't try them on though so I don't know about the comfort.</p> <p><a href="http://www.aldoshoes.com/us/women/shoes/sneakers/82853989-aeillo/88" rel="nofollow">http://www.aldoshoes.com/us/wo.....-aeillo/88</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-favorite-fashion-sneakers#post-544908 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 14:39:04 +0000 nicoleb 544908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been lusting after some wedge sneakers.

I wear a a pair of grey Cons that I picked up up at a thrift store at a YLF meetup, but they are definitely on the tomboy side! If Keds ever have their day in the sun (again), you can be sure I'll snap up a pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-favorite-fashion-sneakers#post-544899 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 13:46:12 +0000 Janet 544899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a couple of (now old) pairs of Michelle K shoes that I loved -- very comfortable for knocking around and much cuter than typical athletic style shoes. But sadly that brand seems to be no more. I'd love to find a good replacement too, so I'll be paying attention to recommendations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-favorite-fashion-sneakers#post-544898 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 13:37:24 +0000 Beth Ann 544898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zap -- I saw these and DSW and loved them, although I almost never wear "fashion" sneakers. Ok, at the risk of a serious fashion-drubbing, I'm going to put it out there and say that nothing says summer to me like a brand new, shining white pair of classic Keds. You know, with the blue back. Kinda feminine, kinda 1960. Retro cute or dorky? I'm not sure, but I"m guessing it's all in the styling. For some reason my heart just can't accept the Converse on my feet -- at least not yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-favorite-fashion-sneakers#post-544897 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 13:32:31 +0000 Anonymous 544897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Converse are #1 in my book, even in my pre YLF days, when Will Smith rocked a pair of black Converse in "I Robot". I seldom wear sneakers but I love Pumas. I have these currently on rotation, what a nice price:<br /> <a href="http://www.dsw.com/shoe/puma+women%27s+speeder+sneaker?prodId=231292&#038;cm_mmc=GPS-_-all-_-Puma-_-231292&#038;mr:trackingCode=27EA23AC-3A15-E111-AC9E-001B2163195C&#038;mr:referralID=NA&#038;adtype=pla&#038;mr:adType=pla" rel="nofollow">http://www.dsw.com/shoe/puma+w.....adType=pla</a><br /> I also have the more classic speed cat, in black somewhere:<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/puma-speed-cat-sd-us-java-brown-winter-white" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/puma-spe.....nter-white</a></p> <p>I'm not even sure if these are YLF approved or not, but I love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-favorite-fashion-sneakers#post-544894 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 12:56:36 +0000 Mander 544894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ's recent post about spring shoes and Ginny's Vans in her black blazer thread just happened to coincide with my own musings on the fashion sneaker. I don't really have any myself, although I do have several pairs of hiking shoes. So I have been contemplating getting a pair at some point -- I think they would be great in casual situations like sight-seeing or shopping.</p> <p>What are your favorites? To me the mainstay seems to be the classic Chuck Taylors, but for some reason I don't really like the white rubber toe that most Converse styles have. I'm also thinking about the 80s style black-and-white checkered slip-on Vans. </p> <p><a href="http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/2/0/0/10f/d/AAAAApikZIsAAAAAAQ_SFQ.jpg?v=1213645888000" rel="nofollow">http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img.....3645888000</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.vans.com/microsites/classics/classic-slip-on/23.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.vans.com/microsites.....-on/23.jpg</a> </p>
