3 Unique Affordable Sneakers thatDon’t Sacrifice Style

By: Lucy DiChristina

It is the end of the school year, and one of my favorite accessories to add to any season are sneakers. Sneakers can easily dress up or down any outfit and elevate any outfit to look put together. When shopping for sneakers it is always difficult to find unique shoes that still manage to be in style. I pride myself in uncovering the rising shoe brands before they gain their impending popularity. No matter how much I want new sneakers to accessorize my outfits as the school year is coming to a close, my budget is shrinking. I have taken it upon myself to discover some new shoe brands that satisfy my desire for fresh sneakers and are not extremely expensive or always sold out.

Steve Madden

Steve Madden is always a go-to shoe brand for people when looking for formal shoes, because of this I think Steve Madden is always overlooked when it comes to sneakers. One of my favorite aspects of Steve Madden sneakers is that they are sometimes modeled after popular shoe trends that are nearly impossible to find for under $500 dollars. Steve Madden manages to balance keeping their shoes trendy, affordable, and comfortable, and I feel like there is always a good range of things in stock.

H&M

H&M is a consistent spot to look at for clothes and accessories, however I have recently learned that they also have shoes and I was shocked to see how much I love them and think they align really well with current trends. H&M seems like some of the most affordable shoes that cater to many different styles and think they can be built into people's go to brands.

Back 70

Although Back 70 isn't the most affordable brand I think they are in range with other shoe

brands that have become extremely popular. With that being said my Back 70’s are my favorite shoes that I own. I have walked 10,000 steps in them and have dealt with no foot pain. I also think that the Back 70’s have brought many new designs to everyday shoes.
