Start the year on the right foot with these 12 chic pairs of sneakers for back to school

For us, back to school has always been synonymous with three things. It always included a new backpack, a chic planner and a brand spankin' new pair of sneakers.

We all went through the same thing: The shoes were forbidden by Mom and Dad to see the light of day until the very first day of school, and it had to be maintained in perfect, mint condition until at least week three of the semester.

Of course, shoes these days are so stylish that they should remain scuff-free for the whole year! From glittery slip-ons to the classic high-tops, start the school year on the right foot with these stylish selections.
