sneakers

I am going through a mint green footwear phase. It all started when a woman on Instagram I follow posted an image of these mint green sneakers (with studs!) that she found for a steal at $15. The only place I found them online was selling them for $99.

Ever since I keep doing a quick search for the sneakers. Today I found these Troopa Green Leather boots, also by Steve Madden. I love the worn leather and bright shoelaces. Nice height too that we would not have to worry so much about wide calves. You cannot see from the photo but they actually have a side zipper too — for those of us too lazy for shoe laces I guess. As much as I love these they do not scream summer fun to me so I am still holding out for the $15 mint green sneakers.

Has the mint bug bitten you this season? Or has some other color?

Natural Sport Sneakers

My favorite shoes at the moment are the Natural Sport sneakers by Dr. Scholl’s that I picked up from Naturalizer. I think they are incredibly cute (probably cuter than I should) and more comfortable than an average sneaker because of the secret in the soles.

Dr Scholl’s made the Natural Sport sneakers with a special “massaging wave system” gel in the heel and forefoot.

Basically jellies for your feet without actually seeing the gel. As you can see it is not very thick but you can feel it as soon as you stop into them. From the moment I put them on I was in love with the unusual softness.

That being said, that feel-good-softness is not an all day feeling, unfortunately. Even after a full day of being on the feet and walking the heels are not as happy as when they first entered the shoes — personally I would like to have a little more gel in the heel. The shoes seem a bit warm to me too with the large rubberized toe (white part) but probably no more than a standard sneaker.

Even the bottom of the soles are cute.

I love the contrast of the orange and grey. There is also the option of black and neon pink, blue gingham and neon lime, and tan and orange. There are variations in the Natural Sport style as well. As of this posting these sneakers are on sale for $45 to $70 depending on style.

Even JD thought they were cute.

I ordered these sneakers online through Naturalizer. Their shopping/ordering process is pretty painless and they have super quick delivery within Canada at reasonable rates.
