I bought these sneakers for work. I was getting a lot of flak for not dressing more "trendy" but my thing was, I'm setting up displays, getting dirty, climbing ladders. I'm not about to wear a mini-dress and heels. How impractical. : ( So I got these cute turquoise Candies sneakers in an attempt to look cute and still not fall and break my neck. Instead, I broke my knee. Oh well!
