The sneakerina , a.k.a. the ballet flat x trainer combo shoe, has been having a moment for, well, way longer than a moment now. No matter how many times the topic of whether or not trainers are dead comes up, the sneakerina is still everywhere. What many thought would end up just a micro-trend turned out to be just one branch of what some have dubbed the freaky footwear trend that’s been going from strength to strength. But in my humble opinion, the sneakerina isn’t even that freaky. Once the ballet flat came back into the wider fashion chat, it felt like only a matter of time before designers found a way to make it more comfortable. After all, the last time ballet flats were this trendy, they really were flat as pancakes – wearing them felt like your heels were just slamming onto bare concrete all day, which was as unappealing as it sounds. So if you, like me, are ready to embrace the cushiony comfort of these hybrid shoes, look no further – here are some of the best pairs to shop now. Related...
