women's casual sneakers?

[stickonatree]

hi all,

so my friend today messaged me on facebook with 2 of the ugliest puma shoes ever with full intent of buying them but couldn't decide which. i quickly told her they belonged in the fireplace, and she asked me in return what shoes would i suggest? i don't usually look into these kinds of things, so i was pretty much stumped after chucks.

could some people here give me some suggestions for women's casual sneakers that aren't blatantly full of branding, aren't chucks, and are maybe more classy than pumas?

thanks all!

Emma Hope. Not cheap, though.

In that range of pricing, maybe tretorn?

sorry socal, i should have mentioned that it's gotta be college student price friendly

thanks for the tretorn suggestion macuser, i will look into it. any other affordable brands?

i personally like clydes as well, haha. i'm just not a fan of all those low profile with like 5 logos for women's shoes. and you don't wanna see the pics.

Tretorns are legit... Also espadrille makes some rad sneaks for men and women...

It doesn't really matter then, she should just get some ugly ass sneakers and make sure she never wears them in public

post the pics anyways, for curiosities sake lol

LOL. roger that. the best we came up with eventually were onitsuka tigers. i guess those will work for now.

What I'd wear if I had a vag (and because I'm a brand-whore)

That aside, I imagine one of the classic Adidas models would be swell also.

+1 to classic adidas.

thanks for the suggestion. my friend says that they look more like guy shoes, and that i should think like a girl, whatever that means.

Thinking like a girl mainly just means looking for less pieces that make you go "That looks awesome!" and more for ones that make you say "That's cute!"
