If I could write a love poem about a pair of shoes, these would be the ones. They're currently my favorite and have been for the past year. I love them so much that I bought a second pair because the ones I'm wearing right now are starting to get a little beat-up (thank you, New York City streets). They seriously go with anything. I've worn them with jeans, dress pants, dresses, and even jumpsuits. They're also super lightweight, which makes them great for traveling. I love that they have a classic look with a pop of color. Seriously, get yourself a pair before I hoard them all for myself.

Get them from Keds for $69.95 (available in sizes 5-11 and in white/black and white/rose gold).

I was shocked because I didn't have to break them in! I've never written a review, but these shoes are definitely worthy. The fit is true to size, and they go with almost any outfit! If you're on the fence, get them." —Freestep

Somehow they provide just enough support. They're also great for casual walks. They don't look like typical athletic shoes, so I can wear them at the office without feeling too casual. I highly recommend. I will probably buy another pair. I usually size up in athletic sneakers to a 9, but I'm glad I ordered an 8.5 because they are plenty roomy.

amazon.com

Promising review: "These are very stylish and very cute! I honestly didn't know what to expect when I made this purchase. It's all about style for me, and I personally like the look of this sock sneaker. My shoe size ranges from a 9-10, but as advised by the reviews to size down, I decided to go with a 9, and the fit is perfect. It's a very comfortable shoe to walk around the city, however not enough support to wear to the gym. The ultimate test for me will be travel wearability and flexible packing. This sneaker is incredibly lightweight and yes, I'm going to say it again, extremely comfortable. I'm very happy with my purchase." —Ms. Misha

Get them from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in sizes 5-10 and in five colors).

I'm addicted to buying shoes, and 100% okay with it!
