This episode of Wisdom from the Wardrobe, the team laces up a lively conversation that’s equal parts style, semantics, and sole searching. Inspired by a real-life footwear fiasco, where a journalist was denied entry to a private members club for breakfast for wearing “sneakers” she swears they weren’t sneakers and her outfit was elevated. We’re diving feet-first into the fashionable gray area of what actually counts as a sneaker in today’s style landscape.

Are those minimalist leather kicks gym shoes in disguise? Can designer trainers moonlight as dress shoes? And why do some establishments still act like sneakers are the style equivalent of showing up in flip-flops?

From the gym floor to the runway, the hosts untangle the evolution of sneakers, from their rubber-soled roots to their high-fashion reinventions. Expect plenty of laughs, spirited debate, and hot takes on everything from restaurant dress codes to why some sneakers might just be more polished than your average pair of Oxfords.

As always, we’re serving up practical styling tips, sneaky (pun intended) fashion faux pas to avoid, and fresh ideas on how to elevate your sneaker game, without getting turned away at the door.

Oh, and before we step into all that…Bec drops an eyebrow-raising, poop-tastic “in the news” segment that’s about decluttering using the “poop theory”, and let’s just say, things get messy in the best possible way.

Whether you're a sneakerhead or a style skeptic, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who's ever wondered if their footwear is too casual, or just misunderstood
