The Unique Sneaker Trend Celebrities and Fashion Enthusiasts Are Pairing with Leggings Currently

      When it comes to controversial shoe trends, ballet trainers are definitely my top pick. Maybe it's because I’m a commuter—someone who deals with an hour of trains, stairs, and steps each morning and evening—but their practicality, comfort, and playful design have completely won me over. Of course, like all shoe trends, there is a range of styles out there, and while I haven't been able to embrace every type of ballet trainer I've seen, Puma's Speedcat Ballet Flats have truly become one of my favorites.

      These ballet trainers boast a low-profile design with multiple straps that secure the shoe comfortably to the foot, featuring a rubber sole that provides the same comfort as your favorite sneakers while maintaining the elegant look that is characteristic of ballet flats. If I needed any more convincing, Dua Lipa's recent Instagram post solidified their status as a style to keep an eye on. She wore hers with leggings and a snug sports jacket, showcasing their functionality during a yoga class, where their slim-fit and comfortable design supported her movements effortlessly.

      While Puma's classic Speedcat trainers are a staple in the fashion community, their ballet-flat trainers have not yet gained the same traction. However, I've observed a steady increase in search interest on Google Trends over recent weeks, suggesting that these playful flats might soon rival the popularity of their sneaker counterparts. Besides Dua Lipa's silver version, these trendy shoes are available in softer pink and white shades, as well as a bold black option for a striking contrast.

      If you're as eager as I am to dive into this shoe trend, keep reading to check out the Speedcat Ballet Flats and other ballet trainer favorites.
