Hi!
I have been lurking but life has been crazy so not much on the forum recently.
I think I read something Angie said about wearing sneakers more often.
I don’t know if it is hormonal ( they are definitely changing !) or what but I can’t tolerate discomfort. I am like the princess and the pea.. and sadly many shoes that even last year were ok are now unbearable for a full day of wear. Particularly for my back as I can’t seem to wear anything too flat or too high.
Luckily I am good with the atheleisure look and I found a bit much of sneakers at Marshall’s and dsw ( super prices!) Here is my new collection !
So far I have worn each pair for a day and have been happy and comfy .

Sweet collection!

It’s hard for me to wear little thin-soled normal shoes these days as well. Don’t know if it’s age or just so used to the comfort of sneakers now.

Happy feet are super important! Enjoy your sneakers, you wear them well!

oooo! I like them all. I like how you wear them with your outfits! I like how the swoosh of the Nike shoe with the black and white is echoed in the stripe of the pant. Like a reverse negative.

hmmm...Marshall's and DSW you say...off I go!

You wear the sneakers well. The support in a shoe can break down over time. That may be what happened to yours.

Yes to sneakers! My favorite is the Nike Cortez. They’re a classic.

These look great! A really nice collection -- cohesive, but I don't see duplication/"too much of the same." Enjoy!

Go Team Sneaker! You wear yours well, Momo. I love the pink and white. GLAD you're being kind to your feet.

YES, I'm wearing my sneaks a lot more because I walk everywhere - no driving, and live in LOTS of variable weather. Between Salt Lake City and Seattle, extreme heat and cold. Lots of rain and wind. I'm like a postal worker, and get on with it with happy feet.

My own sneaks are very refined and not athletic looking. I don't wear sneakers to work with clients. The hi-tops are fleece lined for Winter.

Looks like a fun little collection and you do wear them well! I wear them a lot more these days too, between loving the way they look and having acquired a dog that needs walking. I'm thinking my new essential sneaker capsule includes a slip-on, a lace-up, and a high-top. Comfort is so essential to me, I have anti-plantar-fascitis orthotics in each one!

I am slowly replacing my higher heeled shoes for sneakers, oxfords and lower block heels (no more than 2-2.5 inches). I culled a bag of heels, 3-4 inches from my closet a few weeks ago. Sneakers are practical, comfy, and they come in so many fun colors, patterns and textures that it is easy to find something to work with most anything from casual to dressy outfits. Now is a good time to find them on sale, and your collection looks amazing! I also like the pink and white. I have been fleshing out blush, pink, navy and lavender capsules this year, and was happy to find a pair of lavender Vans on sale.

I am so much more comfortable in sneakers and wear them lots; it is a relatively recent thing for me. I love your collection!

I'm with you! I wear sneakers nearly all the time due to a foot injury a few years ago. I love the way properly fitting sneakers feel. Over time, I've come to love the way they look. Sneakers look great on you and go well with the style of your clothes. It's always better to walk around with a smile on your face than a big frown from painful feet.

Good choices- I wonder if we will ever go back to heels in the same way......

Great styling with your sneakers and why not change things up, especially if it gives you happy feet? I wear sneakers from time to time and so love seeing posts like this to see how they are worn in a stylish and intentional way.
