Every girl needs a workout shoe, whether it’s for the gym or for running outside during a nice day. I love the new Nike Free Run+ 2 running shoes because they are so light. They also have an inner sleeve that hugs your foot, so rather than making my feet look super bulky like most cross trainers they look and fit perfectly. I like the light teal and gray colors, but there are plenty from you to choose from.

Sometimes a pair of good looking sneakers is just what the day calls for, and I’m not talking about Nikes. These Simple Satire Sneakers are a nice alternative to the multitudes of people wearing Converses out there (me included), and I actually think I like them better. They are still really easy to slip on (a must) because of the elastic front, and the sides seem to be made of a tougher material than is typical with other sneakers like this. I especially like this particular color of charcoal gray and ivory with the powder blue lining, it’s perfect for jeans and any other darker colors.

Sometimes I just want to be comfortable, stylish, but comfortable. So when I’m heading out with a few friends to just go shopping or hang out at the coffee shop then I lace up these cute little sneakers. Don’t get me wrong, I love my boots, heels, wedges, etc, etc, but nothing beats a pair of well worn sneakers, and these Asics are the ones for me. I like the white and blue colors, but they come in plenty of color variations if you’re interested.

I must admit, I fall in and out of fads and sometimes follow the masses. Chucks and Vans being one of them. Although I feel guilty for not continuing to wear them because they have fallen from fashion, because truthfully they look cute and are super comfortable. So onward my search goes for that trendy, cooler than your average sneaker..sneaker. The Gravis ‘Slymz’ (that name is borderline a game changer) has a similar feel to Vans but puts a sleek Keds spin on it. I am especially digging the matte purp color with the neon lining along the rubber sole. This makes me beyond excited, since my lazy days consist of skinny jeans and American Apparel hoodies.

If you’re like me, then the TOMS commercial most definitely had an impact on you. If you didn’t feel a little ache in your heart, well my friend you have a heart of stone. Seeing those adorable kids running around in brand new shoes and yes, the pretty good looking guy handing them out compelled me to purchase a pair of my own. Besides the fact that you are buying for a good cause, they look really cool and are..COMFORTABLE. I can’t even stress this point. I don’t know what the soles are made out of, but they are seriously like walking on clouds. They come in crazy patterns and all colors, which makes you want to buy multiple pairs (so beware). But seriously, you have the best validation for swiping a few pairs.

It’s either my constant strive to be cool or my interest in floral patterned sneakers that has compelled me to post another 80%20 shoe. I’m going with the latter. Pretty, girly florals make me happy and when they are on a sneaker, it is perfection in my eyes. The ‘Marlee’ sneaker is minimalistic in design but just as show-stopping as a crystal studded platform sandal (except in a good way). I am loving the scalloped leather edges and banded material. Something about the arts and crafts vibe I’m getting from this shoe is highly appealing. But the best thing is giving it different makeovers with various outfits. I’m already imagining pleated shorts and a boyfriend tee, then transforming it into a garden party with a switch from shorts to a full tulle mini skirt.

I’m not going to lie. Owning a pair of 80%20 shoes would instantly put you in the cool crowd. They are trendy and modern with a dash of hipster. For me, they can get a bit crazy with the molded wedges and weird cut-outs, but every once in a while I find a highly wearable, cool pair of shoes. The ‘Sadie’ is a fusion of a wedge and sneaker that took entirely too long to come around. Finally 80%20 put two and two together and developed this vintage inspired shoe. The smooth canvas top has a causal hipster vibe. Combine that with the cork wedge and you have a shoe that is unmistakeably cool.
