Typically a shoe relegated to purely utilitarian purposes, the humble sneaker has been revamped for the New Year; so ditch the drab footwear and look for a stylish pair that still serves its purpose. Head to the gym in a chic pair of designer shoes and turn heads in a bold pair of runners this season. Full disclosure: not all of these trendy little numbers are suitable for a heavy duty workout (if you’ll be pounding the pavement, look for ample foot support) but at least you can look the part en route to your training session.
