Top Sneaker Styles You Need to Know:
1. Workout Sneakers:

Holly’s Recommendations: Brands like Nike, Adidas, and Asics offer excellent options. Remember, these should only be worn for workouts to maintain their functionality and lifespan. Save them for the gym to ensure they provide the support you need.
2. Recreational Sneakers (Rec Sneakers):
Description: Also known as lifestyle sneakers, these are versatile and stylish, perfect for everyday wear without compromising on comfort. They blend fashion and function, making them ideal for long walks or casual outings.
Holly’s Recommendations: Holly loves her New Balance and Adidas sneakers for this category. She suggests styles like the New Balance 574s, Adidas Originals, and Saucony Jazz. These sneakers are stylish enough to pair with casual outfits but can handle a bit of activity if needed.

4. Flat Sole Sneakers:
Description: Known for their minimalistic design and flat soles, these sneakers are comfortable and versatile, ideal for pairing with a wide range of outfits. They offer less support but make up for it with their sleek and classic look.
