Women’s sneakers or women’s shoes? Discover the history of sneakers
Let’s start by explaining the origin of the term “sneakers.” Synonymous with shoes, these comfortable shoes are adapted for sports. Originally, it was mainly the sole that differentiated sneakers from other shoes. The term “sneakers” probably comes from the English expression “to sneak,” meaning to sneak quietly. Since the 1920s, these shoes have been nicknamed this way because they were so quiet that you could approach someone without them noticing. Initially dedicated to sports, sneakers gained popularity in the 1980s thanks to hip-hop influence, gradually becoming true fashion accessories. Their adoption was further strengthened with the rise of streetwear fashion and the “casual chic” style.
Today, sneakers are a real essential, whatever your age. Their unmatched comfort will seduce you. Moreover, with thousands of different models, in various shapes and colors, there is something for everyone. If you’re still unsure about color choices, opt for sober women’s sneakers, like a black pair, which will easily match all your outfits.
There are also many pairs of sneakers considered true high-end shoes, combining style and elegance.
