Sneak Peek

While it is indisputable that when together we are horribly girly - we giggle, squeal and spend a disproportionate amount of time discussing unicorns and K Pop stars - we are convinced that our male counterparts would be hyper masculine and total Sneakerheads. As discussed before, we are sartorial equal opportunists - see our clutch bag related waffling - which means that we find it positively infuriating that we are unable to unleash our inner trainer monsters. Of course WE know that trainers aren't just for boys, there's nothing we enjoy more than a manly shoe on our dainty feet, but most brands seem to be under the impression that girls must want pink or purple splashed across their kicks. Wrong. Even the most preposterously girly amongst us don't necessarily want trainers to look as though they were vomited out of the front door of Barbie's Dream House. This is especially the case when it comes to limited edition trainers, the very best ones are almost always available only in clonking great man sizes. So, we are left with 3 options:

1) Bow to sexism and wear ugly trainers. Never

2) Shop on Small Feet Big Kicks, the brainchild of a much more entrepreneurial girl than us, who sick of not being able to find good kicks in lady sizes, invented SFBK - a, quite frankly, awesome site that is dedicated to bringing terrific trainers to teeny feet.

3) Make our own.
New Balance is one of our favourites; as an American brand, which has a factory in Miriam's home county, they were always going to occupy a portion of our conjoined hearts. Then they went and got even better, by offering a custom service. It is now possible to design your own trainers; picking as a base either the 574, the 993 or the 990, everything about the shoe, from the sole to the laces, can be customised.

Dove grey and buttercup yellow - seems as though we inadvertently invented country mouse trainers
Once you have your proportionately dinky hands on some trainers that hopefully Kanye would approve of, the main concern is keeping the suede pristine, especially if you're a clumsy pair of spillers like us. There are quite strict grubbiness guidelines that must be adhered to when it comes to trainers, yes Converse look good when they're a bit messed up but suede should never look as though you might have stepped in something a little bit suspect. And so, with the all too real prospect of having ketchup stained kicks, we looked for a saviour and stumbled across Crep Protect. There is all manner of science behind the product that we are not going to even begin to trouble our already clustered brains with. Just watch the video below, we can only assume it works due to a healthy dash of unicorn magic.
