Features and Benefits
What is so good these new-featured wagons in the field of female style and uniqueness? The answer is simple: high sneakers are not just a riot against daily “heel” fatigue. First of all, it is a feeling of strength and comfort. The main features of high sneakers are their versatility, a confident combination with almost any style of clothing and a harmonious combination of style and grace in one bottle.
Earlier, sneakers were considered an exclusively sports attribute, but now everything has changed. Today they are manufactured by manufacturers for a wide variety of purposes:
- sport. This reason, as in the old days, remains in the first place;
- everyday wear. As this type of shoe is gaining more and more popularity, modern designers have developed models of a wide variety of colors and patterns (winter, summer, demi-season);

The main advantages of high sneakers are immediately visible:
- They are made of air-permeable mesh fabric when it comes to summer models. For cooler and wetter weather, natural materials are also used: leather and suede.

Often, high sneakers are called snickers and they were made for basketball players, but cunning designers with their fashionable models found an approach to the heart of anyone who at least once looked at such shoes.
Models
As a rule, high sneakers are divided into two types: sports and casual. It is clear that sports are designed for professional sports or amateur exercise. In everyday life, recently, several models have appeared:
- Men's Boots with a classic cut and look are suitable for men to wear at any time of the year. From here they are divided into: summer, winter and demi-season.
- Women's Everything here is not so simple and unambiguous as that of men. The graduation of high sneakers for women is expanding every year. Today, not only seasonal models are known (heat, cold and in the middle), but also models with high elevation and on a high platform (wedge heel).
- Teenage Sometimes high sneakers for older children are made in the unisex style. However, among them you can find shoes with a bright pronounced individuality of the one who is wearing them. So, for example, among teenage girls it is very fashionable and relevant to wear shiny sneakers. At the same time, not only for the holiday.
Color
The palette of colors that designers have worked very successfully when designing high sneakers is staggering. But sometimes, nevertheless, classical tendencies also appear. So, for example, white, black, gray sneakers look very profitable on people of the older generation. Red can be worn under almost any outfit to focus not so much on the model itself, but on the brightness of the personality of the “carrier”. Blue, green, yellow, pink, violet and other, not the most boring colors, are likely to appeal to young active people and adolescents who are not afraid of changes and prying eyes.

The more tall sneakers come into our lives, the more famous companies are taken for their manufacture. The most fashionable and brightest brands in this direction can be called.
- Reebok The company has long established itself not only as a high-quality manufacturer, but also as a brand that confidently keeps pace with the times.

How to lace up?
One of the most familiar and classic types of lacing of high sneakers is the so-called "store" lacing. But, trying to stand out from the crowd of "store" onlookers, you can break firewood, or rather, impose knots.How to lace up high sneakers beautifully and efficiently and not toss out a dozen pairs of brand-new laces, more on that.
Butterfly is not the hardest way to lace up. However, the following sequence of actions should be observed:
- insert both ponytails from above into holes in the nose of the shoe;
- inside the shoe, stretch each lace up vertically to the next hole;
- having made a cross, let them pass into the “minks” one level higher;
- make vertical tracks again. And so on the entire height of the sneaker.
One of the strongest types of lacing is considered sports. Most often it is used for skates. Thread a lace through the bottom of the sock. The ends threaded out must be criss-crossed under the first stitch. Again, we put the ends into the holes from below and skip under the stitch in a cross form.
The higher the sneaker, the more holes for the laces. The question arises: how beautifully lace up shoes with seven holes? The scheme is as follows:
- we let each end of the lace diagonally into opposite holes, leading one of the upper right and the second from the lower left hole;
- end, which is on top (blue), zigzag down to the fourth pair of holes in the shoe;
- the tail from the bottom (yellow) in the same way rises to the middle of the shoe.
Such lacing looks very stylish and unusual on high sneakers, however, you are unlikely to experience special comfort and joy when you take off your shoes.
What to wear?
You can wear high sneakers with anything. They can fully replace shoes, ballet shoes and boots. Here are some suggestions:
- The simplest and first option available in the head is a tracksuit. Logical, practical, but not always appropriate.

- Skirts, dresses, shorts. Despite its sporting nature, high sneakers look very well with short skirts and dresses, as they visually even lengthen the leg. Shorts are directly shown for Sneakers in the warm season.
