Extra Tips and Notes
There are plenty of options to choose from, so there’s no need to spend lots of money.
Invest in a product that will protect your sneakers from stains and water to keep them fresher longer (especially the all-white looks).
Don’t worry if they get beat up — most spring styles tend to look better worn-in.
Since you’re likely to be doing different things as the weather warms up, make sure you have the proper sneakers for the activity — don’t head out with the incorrect footwear.
