The Sneaker Boot silhouette has been with us for a while, but brands
are serving up fresh designs that point to this being a key trend for
Fall 2018. Whether it is based in performance or style, the sneaker
boot is a versatile look that pairs well with jeans or leggings. It works
for men as well as women. And it is a hook that can play across
most retail channels, from sneaker boutiques to performance shops
to family footwear retailers. There is a look and a price point for
everyone. The Sneaker Boot also provides an answer to consumers
looking for a wardrobe addition that is not already in their closets.
Footwear designers have approached this category with a range
of upper materials in an array of colors from the brightest of hues
to subdued tones suitable for hiking or otherwise sneaking around.
