Down with whites
Never could stand white sneakers. Unfortunately, white is their predominant. Yeah, it makes it hard to buy sneakers, then. I don’t like white sneakers, because once you get them dirty, they become ugly.
But I can’t stand black sneakers, they make your feet look tiny. Black is also sneaker’s second most popular color. The set of sneakers I can buy gets smaller and smaller as I shop.
I went sneaker shopping today and bought a pair of grey Adidas. Now there’s a color to like. This pair are running shoes. I looked at some casual Sperry slip-ons, but no size 9. They have 9 1/2, which were a tad too big. I would’ve liked to have compared the 9 to 9 1/2 just to see if they felt better. I then found the Adidas (9 1/2) that I bought, but I am completely underwhelmed with them. I still bought them as I like the brand and the color, but I kept searching for another pair.
I checked out tennis shoes. What a difference! They fit and feel better than running shoes. I’ve been deceiving myself all my life. Because tennis demands white, all tennis shoes are white. They don’t have another color except black — the two colors I can’t stand. Yet, now I have to get a pair of white tennis shoes because they feel so much better than the running shoes that I’ve been buying.
My prejudice has been arrested. White it is.
