These sneakers are made for walkin’

by Tracey

Ok, I have an admission. While I am fixated on ridiculously high heels, I have to take those suckers off when I walk to work. So this is where the fresh sneakers come into play. I was sporting Puma’s and fishnets on Friday (only to be replaced with a suede stiletto later for dinner). My daughter, the queen hot sneakers was repulsed by such a sight, but I explained to her when she gets older, she will realize that sneakers are for function, not a fashion statement. I’m barely finishing my sentence when she starts in about Missy Elliot’s line of Adidas footwear. So we log onto www.shopadidas.com and I find out that Stella McCartney is designing for Adidas now. Now I have to ask myself, how bad can a sneaker be when a major designer is lending her name to the brand? This I say as I am putting a pair of $125 running shoes into my basket…Like I run.

About Shoe Boxers

Would you rather spend your last dollar on a killer pair of Jimmy Choo stilettos or save your cash and traipse around town in a pair of last years flip flops? If you chose the latter, this site is not for you. Shoeboxers is for the Shoe Diva. For the girl who stands out in a crowd – likely because her 4 inch heels have her towering over everyone else.
