Hi Top Sneaker

Fashion trends predict a colorful spring 2012. Casual fashion and an easy style are predicted with dollops of fun and edgy designs. And footwear designs range from the most stylish stilettos to the casual but trendy sneakers. And since sneakers are favorites of mine, let me take you through what’s hot this spring:

Hi-top sneakers

1. They were popular in the 80’s and continued to be around. But they have emerged hot favorites again this season. Hi-top sneakers like Converse men’s Chuck Taylor’s, Jimmy Choo flannel and shearling hi-top sneakers and others are hot this season. I’ve been faithful to them as I find they support my feet, specifically my ankles like no other footwear. I love the retro-chic look of the lace-up options and they fit better. I’ve heard my sons say that sneakers help prevent ankle sprains while playing a fast game of football or basketball.

2. Colorful options with cool artwork in sneakers are available now. They make for wonderful accessories to go with narrow jeans, sweatpants or other pants. Check out the cool Penguin Moby hi-top sneakers in red and black. I know a lot of people who think sneakers are sporty and you must be into sports to wear them. Wrong! They’re so comfortable that they can be part of your regular, casual wardrobe.

3. Regular sneakers provide optimal support and structure to the ankles and knees. They offer superb traction when moving quickly and are well-padded with good shock absorbing properties. And they look great with jeans or slim khakis, a polo shirt or a rugby shirt. Add accessories like pendants and some finger rings and you’re ready to go.

Sequin high top sneakers

Funky and sparkling Balera’s high-top, dance style, lace-up sneakers have shiny sequins on the top and have a party feel to them. Sequined Destiny sneakers are fun and flirtatious. They have a cushioned insole and faux fur along the inner hi-top.  And you just can’t afford to miss out on Skechers black twinkle toes Shuffles sneakers. They have a smooth fabric upper with a glittering sequin toe cap.
