If there's one thing New York City girls have mastered, it's dressing for their environment. Everything from unpredictable weather to crazy commutes to not-so-clean sidewalks has required Manhattan's most stylish dwellers to think out of the box when it comes to getting dressed (and looking great as a result). Specifically, as it pertains to footwear, sneakers have long been a go-to option. Not only are they the most comfortable way to get from point A to point B every day, but there also happens to be a slew of options on the market, which makes slipping into trainers in place of stilettos a no-brainer.
Recently, some of NYC's most inspiring women have been illustrating the effectiveness of the comfortable footwear. To encourage a little arch support and some summer shopping, we rounded up 10 sneakers we spotted on the streets and included each in case you need a new pair or two to put your best foot forward.
