Why do we wear sneakers? Because they are more comfortable than dress shoes. As many industries become more casual in their dress codes, employees opt for more comfortable clothes. Most women’s dress shoes are quite uncomfortable and not designed to be walked in, so it makes sense that women who work for companies with a casual dress code will be very likely to wear sneakers. Many men choose to wear them too. Remember that this is not Europe, and although the ancestors of many Americans came from Europe, this is a completely different place. I am interested in why in your question you hold women to a different standard of dress than men.
