Product Type: Sneakers

Gray is the sneaker color for the months when bright white looks out of season. Soda's Slick-G is a low top lace-up in gray faux suede on a platform sole, a shape that goes from jeans to office pants without asking for attention.

Gray faux suede. A soft, napped surface that hides the dust and scuffs white sneakers show within a day.
Low top cut. It sits below the ankle bone, so cropped pants, full-length jeans and skirts all work.
Platform sole. The lift runs under the whole foot instead of under the heel alone.
Laces you set. Snug across the instep for walking, easier for a long day at a desk.

Gray Platform Sneakers After Summer

Platform sneakers in gray earn their keep from September on, because they sit between black boots and white canvas in both weight and tone. Charcoal dress pants, dark denim, olive cargos and camel coats can make white shoes look stark, and gray settles in next to all of them. Tonal outfits are the easy win: gray knit, gray coat, gray shoe, with one different texture so it does not look like a uniform.

Keeping Faux Suede Looking New

Faux suede is a brushed fabric, so treat it like fabric. Let mud dry fully, then lift it with a dry brush, working in one direction. A damp cloth handles most marks; soaking the shoe does not, because water leaves tide lines on any napped surface as it dries. Spraying them with a fabric protector while they are still new pays off each time you clean them afterward.

Slick-G Sizes and Sock Choices

Soda lists Slick-G as true to size. It is made in US women's 5.5 to 11 with half sizes up to 8.5, so a 9.5 orders the 10 and a 10.5 orders the 11. Man-made uppers do not stretch with wear, so the fit on day one is the fit you keep. A low top leaves the sock decision visible: no-show liners for bare ankles in early fall, a ribbed crew sock pulled up once it is cold, and nothing in between.

Rain, Laces and Gray Outfits

Can faux suede sneakers get wet? A short shower will not ruin them, but dry them properly. Blot with a towel, pack the toe box with paper and leave them overnight away from any heater, then revive the nap with a brush when they have dried. A hair dryer stiffens the surface.

Are gray sneakers easier to keep clean than white? In daily use, yes. Gray sits close to the color of street dust, so the film that turns white shoes dingy within a week barely shows. What gray does show is dark liquid, such as coffee or oil, so treat those spots the same day.

Should I swap the laces on gray sneakers? It is the quickest way to change their mood. White laces make the pair sportier and brighter, charcoal laces make it quieter and closer to a dress shoe, and a colored lace turns it playful for a weekend.
