Let’s face it, as much as we love wearing those sky high heels, our feet weren’t made to last in them all day everyday, and sometimes they just need a break. Well luckily the predominantly men’s streetwear trend offashionable sneakers has crossed over to give our lady feet a comfortable alternative. The idea of sneakers being just for the gym is out, and in comes these colorful tie ups paired with almost everything.

Many celebrities are wearing the latest designer versions of this streetwear essential, such as Isabel Marant’s Spring/Summer 2011 Betty wedge beauties,but you can also find a pair that falls perfectly into your budget, whether that’s high or low. Stores like Hype DC offer a large variety of any kind of sneaker imaginable, high top, low top, bright or neutral. Or you could shop from the comfort of your home and have your dream kicks sent right to your front door on ShopBop, where you can find great sales on sneakers such as these Marc Jacobs high tops that would add flair to a pair of cropped pants.

Now to address how to wear these bad boys without, well, looking like one. Pair some hightops with a pair of pastel cropped pants and a contrasting knit like Kate Bosworth does here.
