question about sneakers
i admit i'm not the most fashion forward person, but you ladies are excellent at it!
the pictures of katie holmes and charlize Theron on the celebrity page got me wondering:
are sneakers ok to wear with anything nowadays? what are the rules to this? white sneakers only? a specific brand? socks or no socks?
If i could wear sneakers with my dresses that would make me the happiest girl ever!

question about sneakers
I never wear sneakers, just flats. Toms or Bobs would be as far I'd go. Sneakers with dresses make me think of the 80s.

Re: question about sneakers
The pics I saw looked like they were wearing them for comfort- Katie was heading into a subway. So if you have to run around the city, definitely. I am sure they changed their shoes once they arrived where they were going.
I wouldn't put sneakers of the kind they had on, with the outfits they had on.

Re: question about sneakers
I'm not really a sneaker girl - I just feel like they make my legs look stubby. I do, however, enjoy my sketchers Go walk. But I really only wear them with yoga pants, that type of thing. I'm more of a ballet flat or flip flop girl otherwise.

Re: question about sneakers
I'm not a big sneaker fan and don't love the way they look in the pics on the Celeb board. But, I do think with a summery dress, this style of sneaker could look cute:
slip on sneakers

i wouldn't normally either, but since i've completely ruined my feet, sneakers are really my only option. if it was now acceptable to do that.....
what about this kind of sneaker?

Re: question about sneakers
I think true sneakers are for working out only, similar to sweatpants. I do agree when you have a city commute "who cares" - so I would wear them in that case.
Otherwise flats or even slip on sketchers type "comfort shoes" work with shorts and sundresses.

Re: question about sneakers
For commuting many people wear sneakers and then change into shoes at work. They would not wear white sneakers with an outfit as a thing.

see i've never liked that look. you're outside, people can see your shoes. is it just assumed you're only wearing it for your commute?

In the middle of NYC yes.
I mean when I see a woman in a business suit and flip flops or Uggs or sneakers I don't assume she is going to be rocking those in the meeting she is heading to.
NYC is all about commuting shoes. I can't walk a block in most of my heels that I wear in the office.

Yes the only way to understand this is if you have done a NYC commute day after day! No one cares whats on your feet and neither do you!

Re: question about sneakers
When I worked in the city I had a file drawer full of shoes at the office. I rarely had to carry them with me unless I was going to need them on a weekend or if I was not going to my office before court. I wore sneakers with my suits around the city. People would say it's tacky but the cat-callers never seemed to mind!!! Since 9-11 I really take the approach that there should be a good pair of comfortable shoes with a person wherever they go. My only rule is that they look clean and new, not that it really matters but that's my rule.

I think the sneaker commute predates 9/11. It was the blackout in the 70s!! I also was so thankful I had sneakers that day.

question about sneakers
I wear toms mostly and my cons.
I do have my nikes that i wear when i work out or run. Buy have also worn them with jeans or shorts. Not often
I wear my toms for my commute and put on heels in my office. My commute entails a ton of face paced walking, a lot of stairs and running around subways. Its not doable in heels my feet would be tore up!
In the winter i will wear my uggs.
I personally would not do what charlize and katie are doing. Just cause celebs are doing it doesnt mean its cute lol and katie did look like she was commuting.
I think the biggest mistake i see people make with sneakers is getting ones that are very big and bulky on a girl with a small frame. It just doesnt look good. You need a sleaker shoe.
The nike free runs are my personal fave. They are a sleek tight fitting sneaker that actually look cute with shorts or skinny jeans.
