Sole Mates: How to Share Your Sneaker Addiction with Your Significant Other

With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, it’s time to take your relationship with sneakers to the next level. If things could do with some spicing up, consider adding a third party: your significant other. Sneaker swinging is hardly taboo these days, so here are some saucy suggestions to get the ménage à trainers going.
