We love our community on Instagram at @popsugarfitness [1], and we know that they have good taste. Any question of that was put to rest when they told us all about their favourite leggings [2], and we agree with every single pick. Well, we're back at it again, and this time, we're talking about everyone's favourite workout, and life, essential, sneakers.
We asked our community to do the seemingly impossible, and narrow down their sneaker collection to their number one favourite pair. These are their answers, and honestly, we have some shopping to do. It's worth noting that a very popular answer was "no" or "I can't do this." To that we say, we understand, and to make you all feel a little bit better, you can shop all 14 of these top picks; there's no need to play favourites here.
