Our Fave Sneakers Under $100
It’s always good to have a good pair of sneakers (or five) in your arsenal. Sneakers are not only functional for walking, running or general comfort but they are great shoes to also make a statement. Think of them like the icing on the cake or the exclamation point at the end of a sentence. Lately, instead of opting for a pair of wedges, stilettos or even our faithful boots, we’ve been into sneakers. Shoes can really make or break the outfit and we think that having options when it comes to trainers is ideal. Check out some of the sneakers we’ve been shopping for all purposes, not just fashion. Oh, and did we mention they are all under $100?
Like we said, sneakers aren’t just for sport, but also for style. So, why not have some fun with them? These Nike Women’s Court Vision Alta Leather Platform Sneakers are a fun spin on the classic black and white sneaker. With a lifted platform sole, these Nike’s are a fun “remix” on their classic Air Force 1 style shoe. They’re chic and sporty but the platform is a nice feminine touch on a classic sneaker style. These are a great addition for the woman who loves street style and casual shoes but with an elevated twist. It also doesn’t hurt that these are a steal for only $85.
Just like we’re always telling you that you need to have certain staple pieces in your closet, the same goes for your shoe closet. The classic white button down, a good pair of denim, and a blazer are all considered essentials and so is the classic white trainer. A pair of white casual sneakers are indeed “essential” because they are extremely versatile and in the case where you don’t know what shoes to wear, nine times out of ten, a white sneaker is the way to go. We recommend these Adidas Women’s Original Nizza Platform Casual Sneakers because they’re simple and clean but the slight platform raise adds some height and flair to any look. Another honorable mention for the classic white sneaker is the Nike Women’s Air Max which is a nod to classic street style but also pairs well with most pants, shorts and even dresses. Both of these pairs are great deals at $80.
As the clouds clear and the sun is making a generous comeback, we’d like to get back to our daily walks and runs and that calls for a new pair of running shoes. We generally like to invest in a few different colors to match our various workout outfits and we really like that these Ryka Women’s Devotion Walking Shoes have thirteen different options to choose from. Besides their immense style choices, we like that these shoes were designed for the female foot with a narrower heel, wider wiggle room for our toes and extra cushioning. The breathable material is great for intense walking and running as well and they come just under our budget at $99.
If the Ryka Walking Shoes are too colorful for your taste and you prefer to just stick to the basics then we suggest these Asics Women’s GEL-Excite 9 Running Sneakers. Basics and Asics, a match made in shoe heaven. These shoes are great for runners (and walkers) who like to really go the distance or just hit the treadmill for a quick sprint. They feature a sock lining for optimum comfort, a flexible rubber grip sole and a foot-hugging fit. The classic black and white design is great for pairing with any leggings and are available right now for a great deal of $55.
