Statement Sneakers

As much as I absolutely wish I were a runner, Iโ€™m just not. (It would be really nice to nix that $100/month NYC gym fee!) Iโ€™ve tried and tried to get into running, but itโ€™s just not for me. I donโ€™t enjoy it, and I think thatโ€™s a huge part of exercising. Itโ€™s easier when you love what you do. When it comes to my day-to-day life, I am as self-motivating as they come. Yet, when Iโ€™m at the gym, I have to rely on the buddy system. Iโ€™ve come to terms with the fact that Iโ€™m very much motivated by others when it comes down to working out. From a fun spin class with an awesome instructor to hitting the elliptical with a coworker after work, it makes it more fun when youโ€™re with friends!

Since I donโ€™t necessarily need a running shoe, I can focus on stylish sneakers without worrying too much about the support. My go-to this fall has been the AdiPure trainer! Each and every time I wear this pair of shoes, Iโ€™m bound to get stopped on the street by a passerby wondering where I got them. They make lacing up that much more fun. Who doesnโ€™t love a neon statement sneaker?! Plus, they are super comfortable, lightweight, and stylish.

    Love the bright colour, and whatever helps, right?! I hated running with a passion but after about a month of forcing myself I got to a point where I enjoyed it more. I have a crazy beagle who LOVES coming along so it’s nice to have a ‘friend’ with me ๐Ÿ™‚

    I love the colour of those runners! Who cares if running isn’t for you, as long as you have cute shoes. I’m all about the bright colours!

    I don’t enjoy running either & I’ve got special shoes for spin class that clip into the pedals, so when I buy gym shoes, I always go for looks. Why not be stylish while working out?!

    I love running (enjoy it immensely!) but I can never wear fun, bright sporty kicks on the trails- not enough support ๐Ÿ™ Love your Adidas for the street, though!

    I love the color of these shoes! Unfortunately, I’m not a runner either. I have boring white shoes that I purchased before the neon shoe trend hit. I need to get a fun new pair!
