Lately I have been craving comfort – and for me, the first place to start is my feet.  I actually have planters fasciitis.  And ok, even though it sounds kind of gross, it’s just a condition where my heel gets shooting pain if I stand in one place for too long… all thanks to my super duper high arches.  So while sneakers are an obvious choice for comfort, I also love them for style (especially my classic Chuck Taylor’s).  And if you have the mindset that sneakers aren’t anything more than something you wear to the gym, you better change that attitude missy… Because whether you’re wearing a maxi skirt, jeans or a dress, sneakers will lend a cool, laid back style to your ensemble.  I could have easily paired this outfit with a sleek pair of boots, but I think sneakers take it to a different place.

You can shop this style and more at Off Broadway Shoes.
