Which sneakers to choose
According to the image maker Anna Kustova, it is best to choose sneakers without inserts and decorations – they will give them freedom of expression.
“This season it is fashionable to wear white sneakers with colorful laces, we “support” clothes or accessories with them. For example, green earrings and green laces – the image becomes brighter. You can decorate your sneakers with brooches or badges. If you want to play with the image, you can change the laces for satin ribbons, ”says Kustova.
It is worth noting that such a stylistic decision is not suitable for everyone. It can often seem very childish and unnecessarily assertive.
Instead, fashion week street style stars set the trend for lace and side tags, retro pieces (in this case, Reebok and Asics favorites), and cutting-edge silhouettes. High-soled sneakers are now considered the most fashionable, Converse had a lot of such options. In general, the trends are similar to those seen in sneakers.

“It has been scientifically proven that walking in such shoes leads to a significant change in biomechanics and gait in children: the stride length and plantar flexion amplitude increase, the entire mechanism of activation of muscles and ligaments changes, and the changes are also the result of the mechanical movement of the shoe parts,” says the doctor.
