downtown reflections: kicks aren't just for kids

Throughout my "travelling life" I have developed this love for wandering the streets of unfamiliar cities (during daylight of course) not necessarily with a destination but always ending up on an adventure. Spending hours upon hours of walking along sidewalks and walkways while losing track of time often sparked my curiosity and sense of wonder within each city. Well if I’m being totally honest, what will often begin as curiosity and wonder usually ends up me, lost, trying to find my way back to my hotel, hostel or bus depot and what began as a stroll turns into a full on 10K hike.

Now during these expeditions in Vancouver, Los Angeles, San Francisco or any of the other cities, I have learned my lesson as to styling my outfit of the day with less than practical shoes. Nothing puts a damper on an afternoon of shopping, dance drop-in’s or city exploration like blistered and bruised feet.

That being said I love that as far as fashion goes sneakers aren’t confined to gym class and the playground. One can always count on the classic sneaker brands to deliver; however designers of all kinds are now also on this casual street style bandwagon.

Ultimately, you and your chucks can head out on the town... any town... in the upmost comfort and style.
