SUMMER-READY SNEAKERS

Comfy shoes that work with every item in your wardrobe and cost just $45? That’s what we call a smart buy

Box-fresh sneakers reigned supreme last year, and they’re still going the distance for 2019. Rather than a high-fashion statement, they’re a sign of the times: women want effortless style that is, above all, practical. Midi skirts and dresses look great with the metallic colourway (they also come in white), as do jeans in all manner of washes. From the school run to the grocery store, these fun lace-ups will put a little sparkle in your step. And, thanks to clever Insolia Flex technology – which redistributes the weight in the foot to improve the fit and (added bonus) your posture – they feel every bit as good as they look.
