Now trending at NYFW: colorful kicks

Let this season's street style be proof that sneakers are reaching new, high-fashion heights.

The latest crop of footwear has all the comfort you would expect with a kick, but still looks pulled together enough to pair with pleated skirts, flared dresses and even culottes. The key is to have the sneaker add to the vibrancy of the outfit, not take away from it.

The easiest way to pull that off is by investing in a pair that's colorful and carefree. Take note from the fashionista hitting the streets outside of NYFW who have been sporting quirky footwear, like the golden sneaker flatforms above, on the daily.

And who can blame them? Not only do they look just as chic as stilettos, but they're way more comfortable than heels -- and there's little that can top that.

If you're still killing your toes over pointy heels, we suggest giving your feet a stylish makeover with these ultra-colorful kicks.
