At this time of the year, there are people all across the internet telling you what the best sneakers of 2017 were. It's inevitable at this point: The writers and pundits feel they know best which shoes truly stood out and it just doesn't feel right to let the year pass without sorting them somehow.
But, sometimes we get it wrong. Which is why Sole Collector's year-end offerings also include this, a poll where readers voted to determine the best sneakers of the year. Note that this poll asked only what the best sneaker of the year was rather than asking readers to rank all of the entries, so the breakdown here orders each shoe based on how many people voted for it as the best. Scroll down for the results and feel free to debate the rankings in the comments section.
