Today we're going to be going over seven ways you're wearing your sneakers wrong which you'd be surprised considering the sneaker game is at its highest peak. Today, you'll walk around and see some dude wearing their sneakers in the funkiest ways possible. We're gonna highlight the 7 biggest mistakes we've seen dudes commit when wearing these beautiful pieces of art so you never become victim to it.



1. Pants Hiding The Sneakers

The biggest mistake we see even to this day is your pants are hiding the goods, you just paid 100 to 500 dollars for these pair of sneakers, would you not want everybody to see them? It's not 1990s boys and no matter how much you're trying to revive that trend, you don't want to fall victim to this; you want to highlight your sneakers the best way possible and the best way to do this is to make sure that your pants are always nicely tailored. This is to ensure that you don't have mounds of fabric just hiding your sneakers or hiding the goods and also just making your overall look stumpy or shorter and overall messier. A nicely tailored pair of chinos or jeans will always look better especially on low-top sneakers to be able to show off the sneaker and your overall look tailored and taller.


2. Tie The Shoes Too Tight

You're just tieing them too tight, when you tie a shoe it should be tight enough of course so it's not moving around or it's going to become untied but not so tight that you're cutting the circulation and distorting the natural silhouette of it. It should be comfortable enough to be able to put at least one index finger underneath, the tongue of the shoe and this will let you know that there's enough breathing room and your feet aren't gonna die.


3. You're Too Matchy

When you're wearing sneakers that are very bold and colorful and there's a lot going on, what you want to do is make the rest of your outfit pretty neutral to make sure you're balancing it out and instead you're not looking like a clown or a walking streetlight. For example, if you're wearing blue sneakers, your shirt and pant don't have to be blue, just wear match mixed colors.


4. Wearing Colourful Laces

You're wearing tacky laces, sometimes you'll go out and about and you'll see dudes wearing sneakers with colorful laces, you look childish and then on the men's world culture, you'll see the same effect, dudes wearing dress shoes looking all dapper-looking like a million bucks and then you look at their feet they're wearing colorful laces and on top of that, you got the biggest sinners of them all the ones that use those cute tip no-tying or rubber lace, if you wear those boys, just throw out the whole damn thing you don't want to wear that will ruin the shoe.


5. Wearing Shoes That Are Old Or Distressed

Shoes that are just completely dead, RIP they should be underground six feet, these things will have holes in their toes, the gum soles are coming fully apart, they probably stink, shoes depending on the styles like your converse chuck taylors, for example, they look good with a little dirt and grime a little character but when they look super dead and OP dirty, they need to be replaced, you shouldn't be wearing these anymore.


6. Wearing Sneakers Barefoot

This is the worst mistake you can make with your shoes because- i) It's gonna be a swampy sweaty mess inside there. ii) You're gonna create a stench from all the bacteria that are growing in there, that way you won't be able to control to the point that if you never take them off nobody's gonna want to be around you and that's disgusting, just wear socks, it's such a simple thing to do it the socks will absorb the sweat and protect the longevity of the shoes.


7. Not Changing Your Sneakers

You want to make sure you rotate them and you don't just focus on one pair that you use all week long, you're cutting the longevity of your sneakers, when you rotate your sneakers, you let the sneakers that you just wore take a rest, you allow some of that moisture to evaporate and also if you're using shoe trees, it'll restructure the leather or the shape of the shoe, so the next time you wear them they're refreshed and they're looking good.
