Dressy Adult Sneakers

These Chic and Shiny Leather Kicks Resemble a Casual Dress Shoe

These classy adult sneakers bring style and comfort to a pair of casual shoes that can be dressed up to the nines. Designer Beckett Simonon created these shoes to provide a comfortable alternative to dress shoes that contemporary businessmen could wear every day.

The sleek sneakers are simply made, from two pieces of full-grain leather dyed either black, white or burgundy. They have minimal stitching, creating one solid look with no eye-catching distractions. The cotton laces have been waxed to add some sheen to match their shoes' shine.

With a thick-gummed sole, the adult sneakers give a tiny bit of lift, adding to their comfort and keeping in line with the current popular style of thick platform soles in the realm of running shoes.
