I like your black sneakers! I was in Rome recently and was looking at women's shoes. I too had to sport black sneakers (I have long feet, so difficult to find cool shoes, and there was a lot of walking, so I had to be comfy!) and I looked at what other people my age were wearing (50+) and there were a lot of black sneakers! Men wore a lot of white as well, but the women... black! So you are not alone. ((((hugs))))
