I’m not going to lie—there’s nothing like a great pair of heels to boost my confidence and make me feel altogether polished, but even as a kitten-heel lover, over the past few seasons, I’ve slowly become a sneaker devotee, mostly thanks to the plethora of genius sneaker outfits I’ve been saving to my Insta collection (not to mention the practicality and comfort they provide after recently having a baby). Either way, sneakers have been on my mind. So today, I’m sharing some of the most enticing sneaker outfits I’ve recently bookmarked that will make even the most ardent heel lover want to toss them out in favor of some cushy soles.
