What color athletic shoes do you own?

I need a new pair of walking sneakers. I’ve always purchased white as they tend to go with everything. I’m just wondering if those look really out dated with all the colors. But I also like to wear my sneakers sometimes when I’m not doing athletic stuff, in my white shorts…and they match no matter what too I have on.

But there so many cute ones out there.

I have at least 6 pairs. Gray (Sketchers that I wear at work a lot), a brownish-gray Nike pair with magenta trim (for running), aqua Nike, one that is mostly sage green and gray (Dr Scholls brand - comfy and inexpensive and I like the color, but not very durable/long lasting). And a couple of white pairs.

My special bike shoes are white. My hiking boots are navy blue/green, my walking sneakers are asics and one is hot pink, one is turquoise.

If I’m wearing sneakers with jeans for ex, I have 2 pair - one tori burch with a little blue ruffle on it and one stuart weitzman with pearls and rhinestones - lol They’re actually really cute.

No white. Black. Gray and pink. Gray and silver. Go for comfort! They make some great stuff these days but haven’t seen any in white.

Current line up:
Grey New Balance w/slight coral accents(mainly for casual wear)
Orange/Grey NB - very flat but for casual wear
Light blue/pink Nikes
Charcoal Grey/Purple Nikes
BRIGHT orange Nikes
Coral/white/grey Asics
Last 4 all for fitness.

I used to only wear white, and have a couple pairs of white left. But I have 2 pairs I wear now–1 light blue with orange trimmed Nikes, and 1 black-ish grey with teal trimmed Merrells. I love my Nikes & Merrells, so light and comfortable!

I mentioned elsewhere that I like colorful shoes. My closet is like Pantone color collection. My latest pair is Brooks Levitate in teal-blue. Love them and the color. Brooks just came out with some nice new colors, and I have not bought any shoes in a while, so hmmm… but Hoka made some new models, so those are also in the running. Just missed the Dunkin donut shoe! Those looked fun!

For walking around I wear white New Balance. I like the white Adidas Stan’s too. I’m looking at a pair of Allbirds in either gray or pink.
I wear other shoes for running.

Mine are purple.

Not a fan of White Shoes. All 25 pairs of my running shoes are colorful. Really wish that I could get my hands on the Saucony "Dunkin’ Donut pair.

I can’t even begin to list mine, although I also have the blue Levitates. I have bright pink Hokas, yellow Hokas, red and white Hokas and many others.

OP - white shoes are “old lady shoes.” You need to jazz up your walking looks. :slight_smile:

Actually, you’re in luck as white sneakers are all the trend currently. :slight_smile:

Respectfully disagree. Those are athlesure shoes, not athletic shoes. Don’t see those on walkers on the trails around here. :slight_smile:

So yeah, white shoes put you either in the “old lady” camp or hipster wannabe camp. The choice is yours… :wink: I choose performance and color. B-)

I love crazy colors for my running shoes. The brighter the better. But, I do also have one black pair to wear when walking around. I only wear the bright ones when I’m actually running.

I don’t think of Harper’s Bazaar or Elle hipster fashion. They probably know what’s in style more than seasoned moms. :-??

Dos, tell that to athletic shoe makers. They are missing the boat with their colorful shoes. :smiley:
