Supergas For All

Normally I'm not one for sneakers.  I love them for the gym and similar activities that require them.  But for running around town during the day, I just refuse.  I'd rather wear ballet flats.  They're chic and comfortable-- a must, as far as I'm concerned.  

My kids wear sneakers constantly though.  They started wearing Superga sneakers years ago, and they're my favorite.  They're simple, cute, comfortable, and they go with nearly everything.  Made in Italy, where they were born over 100 years ago, Supergas have withstood the test of time.  In the words of the timeless classic children's song Hakuna Mutata, they "ain't no passing craze."


Just recently, it occurred to me that these shoes worked so well for my children, they might work for me too (it doesn't hurt that they come in silver!).  Imagine my surprise to realize that, suddenly, I have sneakers I love to wear around too!  So here we are, this past weekend, in all our Superga'd glory.


As you can tell from the blustery conditions, this shot was unplanned.  We didn't mean to be an ad for Superga.  We just sort of look like one, nonetheless.
