Are Skate Shoes Back in Style?

Much like other 2000s fashion moments, skate shoes are back in style this year. At first, I didn’t know how to feel about the trend (similar to low-rise jeans, I feel a bit scarred by my early teens fashion choices), but there are actually so many different ways to try the trend—including some more minimalist silhouettes. And, there’s one sneaker that totally changed how I feel about the return of skate shoes and made me want to add the style to my regular rotation.

My Review of the Cariuma UBA Sneakers

The Cariuma UBA Sneakers in White Leather Leopard are the sneakers that made me want to try the skate shoe trend. They’re not as chunky as the original sneaker style and feel like a nice way to capture the style in a more modern way. I have them in the white leather and leopard combo, but they also come in 14 other colors and are available in leather, suede, or a mix of the two. The shoes also feature more eco-friendly construction with a mix of recycled and bio-based materials, including a flexible and supportive cork insole.

Aside from their looks and construction, these sneakers are super comfy. I’ve walked miles in them and recently wore them to The O.C. Fair, and my arches and ankles felt supported and comfortable despite being on my feet for hours. Since they are made of leather, they get a little warm in the Los Angeles heat, but they’re not as bad as some other leather sneakers I’ve worn (and I never get blisters).
