I
couldn’t be happier that
active wear is becoming more and more accessible - for years I’ve put off going to the gym
simply because I couldn’t
afford all the high tech garments those fitness fanatics adorn themselves in
day after day. I wanted to take part in the healthy movement, but I felt like
there wasn’t enough active
wear on the market to cater for all walks of life - especially those on a tight
budget!
I was
always a massive fan of Nike trainers and last Christmas I decided to treat
myself to some in the hope it would encouragement me to join the local fitness
centre. It’s amazing how
much a new pair of shoes can motivate you, and I’ve been training weekly ever since. I still wear cheap
knock-off look-a-like sports bras and leggings from high street retailers, but
I’m totally cool with that
because at the end of the day, I’m
not a hardcore exerciser and all I’m
doing is sweating in them, so the fancy gear doesn’t appeal with those price tags. However, investing in some
quality footwear really has helped me enhance both my comfort and performance. I think it’s so important to look after your feet well, especially when
attempting cardiovascular exercises that massively impact them.
I’ve been looking into purchasing
a second pair of trainers - I’m
extremely happy with my Nikes, but I
wanted to try out another brand this time - that’s when I heard about Skechers
shoes. Skechers are an American footwear brand that specialises in performance
shoes for men, women and children. The company is globally recognised in the
footwear industry, having produced some of the most practical and eye catching
designs of the century. Available in over 160 countries throughout department
stores, independent shops and online, Skechers will bring bounce to the balls
of your feet!
These
insanely bold fashion statements are driven by the performance of an athletes
feet as well as being influenced by print and pattern trends with the fashion
and active wear industry, making them the ideal trainer for style conscious
gym-goers.
I was
enjoying the hunt for Skechers so much that I ended up on a couple of their distributors websites and
found even more gorgeous prints from the likes of company’s such as John Martin’s Shoes. Here are some of my
favorite additional discoveries…
These
rainbow flex appeal Skechers are built with mesh fabric uppers for
breathability and have a memory foam insole for maximized comfort when taking
part in your activities. This candy coloured design looks yummy enough to eat!
For
more of a subtle edge, opt for these leopard print and coral Skechers -
harnessing the same shock absorbent technology as the others, but with less
aesthetic shock! A more muted design for a conscious runner.
Lightweight
and softly textured, these floral beauties are the perfect trainer for the
summer seasons! They’re so
cute that you couldn't definitely pull them off for casual outings that involve
no sports at all! Team with a 90’s
inspired denim skirt and tee for casual cool with a vibrant twist!

These
bad boys are the perfect companion for city walks and sight seeing! the Gogo
mat insole provides lasting comfort for feet going through a strenuous day of
being attached to an eager tourist! The neon coloured uppers and laces still
are a unique and funky addition to the smart shoes.
