Happy MONDAY, everyone. I have done a LOT of style searching over the last 15 months. Since Jack was born, the thing I’ve struggled with most (superficially – not emotionally) is finding my style again. Nothing fits quite like it did before I had Jack, and I’m finding that I need clothes that suit different purposes the older Jack gets. For example, the first 6-9 months – I really needed clothes that I could nurse on the go in: button downs, loose tops, flowy styles. Now, however, I need things that I can chase a toddler in. Clothes that I can get withstand sticky fingers and speedy toddler escapes. I shares the clothes that are really working for me right now in my fall mom capsule wardrobe HERE – but now I wanna talk about SHOES that fit this bill, too. I’m talking Statement Sneakers. Let’s dive into this.
15 Statement Sneakers to Incorporate into your #MOMSTYLE
Ok, so we’ve talked about different outfits that work with that #toddlermomlife – but I haven’t touched on shoes yet. I had an epiphany a few weeks ago that got me thinking. I haven’t really been gravitating towards my typical fashion shoes because they just aren’t practical. I am chasing Jack around, running errands, generally being on-the-go. BUT what I HAVE been leaning towards when I’m getting dressed and feeling my best are statement sneakers. They’re cute, they get compliments and they’re comfortable. The 3 C’s. I don’t have to worry about them sliding off my feet, or being impractical. I discovered that I didn’t have to sacrifice style to feel comfortable in my own outfits.
I’ve rounded up 15 of my FAVORITE statement sneakers on the market right now (including the ones I personally own + LOVE). All brands are ones I’ve purchased from before and currently own so I can speak to the quality and sizing. For reference, I am a size 8-8.5 with medium width.
Behave Sneaker – Paperdolls Boutique, $75**
These are my newest purchase and I am OBSESSED. I think they’re my favorite sneakers to date. So comfortable, and crazy cute.
All In Prty Sneaker – Dr. Scholls Shoes, $120
Dr. Scholl’s is my favorite sneaker brand – they have memory foam soles and the quality is second to none. These are obviously no exception.
Cadey Lace Up Sneakers – Target, $29
I love Target as a go-to for cute and affordable sneakers – these are SUPER cute.
Brooklin High Top Sneakers – Target, $37
I am starting to like high top sneakers more and more and these animal print ones are absolutely DARLING.
Abbot Lace Sneaker – Dr. Scholls Shoes, $36
Another Dr. Scholl’s FAVE. These are ADORABLE and very comfy.
No Bad Vibes Lace Up Sneakers – Dr. Scholls Shoes, $54
Snake print shoes are a current fave and these are so solid. I have this exact shoe in black and wear them all the time.
Vintage Havana Grande Sneaker – Macy’s, $63
These are dupes for the ultra-popular Golden Goose shoes and they’re super cute. I love the camo detailing.
Scarlette Wedge Sneaker – Dr. Scholls Shoes, $110**
I am OBSESSED with these wedge sneakers. I got them last year and they have been on repeat ever since then. They are VERY comfortable despite having a little bit of a heel.
SO Compelling Women’s Platform Shoe – Kohl’s, $11**
I bought these last week and I’ve worn them 3 times since then. They’re a STEAL at only $11 and seriously so comfortable.
Herzog Lace Up Sneaker – Dr. Scholls Shoes, $100**
Another absolute FAVORITE – I have these in olive green and wear them all the time. I think they’re one of my most comfortable sneakers AND they’re sustainably made.
Nike Tanjun Running Shoes – Nike, $54
I have these in my shopping cart after trying them on a few days ago in store. They’re REALLY cute and functional.
Lowline Sneaker – Coach, $175**
Okay, I’ll admit. These are a splurge and were a Christmas gift. BUT I love them and they are SO classy.
Swift Run Sneaker – Adidas, $56
These are a CLASSIC white sneaker and are really comfy and cute.
Superstar – Adidas, $85**
I’ve had these for YEARS and they are staples in my wardrobe. I wear them with t-shirt dresses, leggings and denim. The MOST versatile shoe in my collection. I also have them in Pink!!!
Metal White Studded Sneaker – Steve Madden, $99
These are another classic white sneaker fave. They have little gold stud detailing that really makes an outfit.
Snakeskin Slides – Steve Madden, $81**
Another snakeskin fave! I LOVE these and wear them all the time – I’ve never NOT gotten a compliment on them!
