When buying a product, carefully study it, everything must be done carefully, the sole is stitched, and in no case is glued to the top of the sneaker. In the case when you purchase shoes from an online store, the price of the pair you are going to buy can be the best guide for you.Original Nike, Jordan, Asics or New Balance can never cost 3000 rubles.
Do not forget that you need to choose sneakers for the season - you should not take models with textile tops for spring or autumn. Such shoes will often get dirty, but it will not be easy to remove dirt from them. It is not recommended to wash combined models in the machine, dyed leather may peel off, and creases will appear on the surface of the shoe. An old toothbrush and soap will help you in caring for your sneakers. It will help to gently, but at the same time effectively remove dirt from the fabric surface and the sole.

What to wear
One of the undeniable advantages of sneakers is that they can be worn with almost everything.
An everyday option can be jeans, leggings, short shorts, a bell skirt or a straight mini skirt. The top can be a sweatshirt, bomber jacket, jumper, top or T-shirt in summer weather. Sneakers will look great with a tight plain short dress. In cold weather, a leather jacket, a sports parka, a classic, straight-cut coat and, of course, almost any down jacket will harmoniously coexist with them as outerwear. The only exception here will be, perhaps, only a fur coat and a fitted coat similar in style to a dress.
As accessories, your sneakers will perfectly complement a small backpack or bag made of matching leather. Sports hats knitted with a pompom or careless beanies look good with such shoes. A warm and stylish snood scarf will perfectly complement your everyday look.
