Shoes are the thing in an outfit that can make or break it. It's either you've got a shoe on that compliments your outfit beautifully or you don't, but not to worry shoes can easily be cropped out of the frame of your picture and no one will even notice that the shoe you're wearing is actually breaking your outfit.
I'm going to start a serious called "Why Shoes Make It For Me", where I'll be not only speaking about shoes I love but I'll also reflect on the experience I've has with these shoes. I also plan to speak about shoes your favourite fashionista's and shoe fanatics are currently wearing and supposedly loving. I, myself don't own too many pairs of shoes, but I do hope that in times to come my shoe collection will grow rapidly and beautifully. For now I'll just continue wearing my beat up all white Nike Air Force 1's Sage Low's.
On Today's episode of "Why Shoes Make It For Me", I'll be speaking about all white sneakers that seem to be making the rounds on the internet. All white sneakers are not only easy to style but they look effortlessly amazing paired with just about any outfit.
"The All White Sneaker"
These are my favourite pair of all white sneakers(my top two, but not two) as they are easy to clean, they fir the foot beautifully, are comfortable, they not only feel like a good quality shoe, but they that exactly that.The best thing is that are are available in many different styles, there's the Sage Low's, the Shadows and of course the regular degular Air Force 1's, which are everyones all time favourite (yes, I'm speaking about the ones Drake wore in a recent Instagram post). My current favourite pair are the Shadows and they are definitely on my wishlist.
Even though Air Force's are a bit of mission to find in South Africa the Nike South Africa has made everything so much easier for those of us in South Africa that are absolutely obsessed with this shoe.

The infamous low cut white Chuck Taylors that we all love and have probably owned at least once in our lives. They are probably the most affordable and most accessible pair of shoe on this list.
The downside to Chuck Taylor's is that through my experience with them, they are not true to size as you would probably need to size half a size down to get your perfect fit, over and above the the sizing problem these shoes can get extremely uncomfortable and may cause a bit of pain to your feet.
These sneakers are mostly enticing to me because they have a platform and I love a shoe with a good platform, they would not only make me taller but they look absolutely fashion forward and stylish. I absolutely love the shape of these sneakers as they take on a tilting effect, as the back of the shoe is has a higher platform than the front of the shoe. These shoes are Italian and Italians are not only known for their pasta but they are known also for fashion, as Italy houses one of the "Big Four" fashion capital in the world, Milan. I've had my eye on this shoe for a while now and I definitely plan on getting a pair, I also see a lot of similarities between this sneaker and the Alexander McQueen oversized sneakers, so I guess these sneakers are perfect dupe for the infamous oversized sneakers.
This Yeezy Boost is a monochromatic take on the much loved Yeezy 350's, these are a bit more of a multifaceted pair of sneaker as they can be used to exercise but can also be used to pair with your day to day outfits. I would never imagine myself actually using these sneakers to exercise because they actually cost an arm and a leg but would definitely sport these shoes when I'm wearing my super comfy , sporty outfits. These shoes aren't easy to find in South Africa at all, so resellers that authenticate the products you purchase are your safest bet.
I've been dying to hold a pair of these calf leather sneakers in my hands for ages now, but for now all I can do is just adore them from a distance. These sneakers are not only gorgeous and but they definitely have that "thing" we all look for in an all-white sneaker. These sneakers are a favourite among European bloggers and for very long I didn't even know the brand or name of this stunning, yet simple sneaker all the bloggers I loved were wearing, but I was always obsessed with the simplicity of this shoe as simplicity is said to be the ultimate sophistication. Something I absolutely love about this sneaker is that it comes mainly all white, however you can get different heal details every time you buy a pair so that your not exactly splurging on the same pair all the time, but you splurging on a similar pair that has it's own purpose in your closet.
Balenciaga Triple S' Clear Sole
Ever since the launch of this pair of sneaker, they have been widely bought and wanted, internationally. These shoes not only reap the words 'dad sneaker' (which were a popular trend in 2017 and still continue to be a trend), they reap comfort, style chunkiness and sportiness all in one. A single pair of chunky sneakers are definitely a staple in any fashion fundi's closet right now and I've seen these sneakers styled up and down in so many different ways. These sneakers had to go on my list of 'must have white sneakers'.
Chanel CC Logo Triple White Sneakers
These sneakers are the ultimate trainer-sneaker, they not only look absolutely comfortable but they would look great with any 'running some errands, in comfortable clothes looking absolutely gorgeous' outfit.
