Well, you might recognize most, if not all, of these shoes! Since I still have planter fasciitis in my foot, I haven’t purchased new shoes because I know which ones work for me right now. I would hate to buy a new pair only to find they hurt my feet after one wear. These shoes are all tried and true, so I know I can wear them pain-free! Love that!

For the summer 2022 season, I will be wearing my sneakers a lot since they have arch support and are the best option for my foot right now. Of course, sneakers are not always an option for certain events. This last week when two of my kids had graduation, and events surrounding graduation, I needed to wear nicer shoes. These slingback heels worked really well, and I was able to walk around pain free. The block heel hits my arch in the right spot and provides the ideal arch support. Love!

In addition to my slingbacks, these classic, tried and true, espadrille wedges, hit my arch in the right spot too! Love that! This means I can wear both of these shoes for occasions where I cannot get away with my comfy sneakers.

You might be side-eyeing the very flat, and unsupportive loafer flats in my summer shoe capsule wardrobe. Well, you have good reason! Thankfully I am able to wear them because my doctor gave me an arch band which fits on my foot and supports my arch. I should not go for a long walk in flat shoes, but I can wear them to lunch and not have foot pain.

Lastly, how cute are these woven slides? I purchased them last year and thankfully they are still on the market; just in case you have been thinking about them. The sole is very comfy and cushioned. They feel like slippers when you wear them! Due to my foot pain, I cannot take a long walk in them, but I can wear them without pain as long as I am not going to be walking for long periods of time. They are perfect for backyard BBQ’s, going to lunch, attending a casual event, and anything which does not require walking for long periods of time. Last summer, before my foot injury, I could walk for miles in them. So, if you are foot-injury-free, you can rest assured they would be very comfy and easy to walk in.

Street sneakers spring 2022

Spring 2022 street sneakers from top: Nike sneakers / Gucci platform sneakers / boat shoes /

Spring 2022 street sneakers are here! For the spring 2022 season, street sneakers are back, and this season, they are more individual, special, and downright funky.

Gone are the days of the simple white sneaker, or the understated street sneaker. For the spring 2022 season, we are looking at bright colors, mixed colors, avant-garde designs, platforms, and unique sneakers other people are not wearing. Instead of season-long styles we can think about for a couple of months and then purchase, many sneaker brands, such as Nike and adidas, are releasing limited inventory which sells out within seconds of being released. While this is nothing new in the sneaker world, it has gone mainstream for spring 2022, everyone wants sneakers other people don’t have.

Of course, with scarcity, comes… well, scarcity! If you cannot get your hands on a pair of limited-edition sneakers, you will reach for the next best thing, which is what is on trend. The hottest trends in sneakers for spring 2022 are the platform. If you already invested in the Gucci platforms, you’re golden! If not, the converse platforms are also hot this season. Seriously, they might be the IT sneaker of the season, and they happen to be affordable. Love that!

The black pair featured above, is the current IT sneaker of the season. My daughter is rocking them on an almost-daily basis, in addition to her Nike Dunks, which were of course, limited edition. That’s what’s hot!

I am loving my Gucci platforms and switching things up with the funky Nike’s pictured above. In addition, I love a classic boat shoe with shorts on warmer days. This is a good sneaker wardrobe for the spring season, and also moving into the summer. I recommend investing in one platform shoe, one funky pair which could be limited edition if you can snag a pair of Dunk’s, Air Jordan’s, or Air Force One’s, and also a classic pair of boat shoes or canvas sneakers you can pair with shorts on warmer days.

These classic white sneakers, with a touch of color on the heel, are a huge trend in street sneakers for fall 2021. So many designers are creating their own version of this street sneaker style for really high prices. Thankfully, this classic style has been done for decades under $100 by one of my favorite athletic brands. Love that!

If you want a statement making IT shoe, go for the designer version. If you want the street style original for under $100, you will love these.
