2. High-top Suavs made out of a knit material to ensure your tootsies experience the *utmost* comfort at all times. You're welcome.
BuzzFeed writer Harper Hendrickson has nothing but good things to say about their Suavs sneakers:
"I’ve been having a difficult time with shoes lately, due to my feet growing and shoe size changing a little since starting HRT. I recently tried Suavs high-top shoes in Timber, hoping that they would be stretchy enough to fit me till I get through this awkward shoe phase! I was not disappointed; these fit true to size, they are nice and stretchy, and they are some of the comfiest shoes I’ve ever worn. I liked them way more than I anticipated I would, so much so that I didn’t take them off for a week when I first got them! My favorite thing about Suavs are how easy they are to slip on and off, yet they are durable enough to get me through hectic days and long walks. The few minutes I save in the morning slipping these on when I’m stressed and in a rush really makes a difference. I also love that these are made from recycled water bottles!"
Get them from Suavs for $110 (available in men's sizes 8–14 and three styles and in women's sizes 5–12).
3. Chunky Fila sneakers, because it's about damn time you got on the "dad shoe" bandwagon. They're comfortable, cute, and will feel waaaaay better than the last time you forced yourself into heels just to make a fashion statement.
4. Rothy's slip-on sneakers you can toss into the washing machine after accidentally stepping in a big puddle while wearing them — they're as cute as they are practical!
5. Color-block sneakers made with a removable insole pad, arch support, *and* mesh fabric so you won't end up with sweaty, stinky feet this summer.

Get them from Domo Ink for $74.99 (available in women's sizes 5–12 and men's sizes 3–14).
6. Greats sneakers, because everyone should have a classic all-white sneaker in their wardrobe lineup. These are the perfect choice because they won't give you blisters the first time you wear them.
BuzzFeed editor Abby Kass seriously put these shoes to the test:
"The first time I wore these shoes, I walked 16,000 steps in them. Yep, you read that correctly, 16,000 steps and not a single blister and no foot pain at the end of the day. Soon after that day, these shoes became my new go-tos. They have a classic look to them and really do go with everything. I even took them on vacation with me to Paris, and I wore them almost every day. They didn't look like tourist shoes at all, and I never had any pain while wearing them. The price point is a bit steep on them, but for the quality, I really do think they are worth it."
Get them from Greats for $130 (originally $189; available in sizes 6–10 and 14 styles).
7. Madewell Court sneakers, featuring a playful color-block style you'll never get tired of showing off. Get ready to be *showered* in compliments — these are showstoppers.
Promising review: "I bought these a week ago and have worn them just about every day. They are so comfortable and not quite as heavy of a shoe as the trainers, which I also have a pair of. I have a narrow foot and these fit like a glove but not too snug. I have done a lot of walking in these shoes and no issues, so comfortable!" —Tmell14
Get them from Madewell for $98 (available in sizes 5–11).
8. Brooks Ghost 13 sneakers will quickly become your go-to pair for outdoor running. You're gonna love their supportive cushioning and durability.
These are the most recent addition to my outdoor running/walking sneaker collection. I really like the cushioning in these babies and how shock absorbent the base of the shoe is. The bottoms are a bit rigid, so they make me feel a lot more sturdy when walking on wet ground. I didn't even need a break-in period! They were comfortable from the first time I laced-up.
Get them from Amazon: women's for $103.45+ (available in sizes 5–13, medium and wide widths, and 20 styles), men's for $100+ (available in men's sizes 7–15, medium, wide, and extra-wide widths, and 17 styles).
9. Custom Haunted Mansion sneakers you'll absolutely want to have on hand for *spooky season* and all of your future trips to a Disney park.
My cousin ordered a pair of sneakers from this woman-owned small business and told me I *had* to check them out. They have a bunch of made-to-order sneakers available, but these were easily the ones that caught my eye right off the bat ;). Since these are custom made, you can specify what size you want at checkout.
Get them from UnremorsefulArt on Etsy for $120.
10. Leather sneakers that'll have you feeling like a badass each time you lace 'em up.
Not only are these shoes made with full grain leather, but they also feature a dry mesh lining that provides climate control. Say "goodbye" to sweaty feet!
Promising review: "These look like bowling shoes — in a good way! I ordered a half size up since previous styles tended to run small. The fit is good, the soles are well cushioned. The rose gold leather is truly striking, beautiful, and shiny. Laces come in a choice of two colors, white or mauve, which is a nice touch. Overall a good purchase from one of my longtime favorite brands." —Sooslie66
Get them from Hush Puppies for $84.99 (originally $99.95; available in sizes 5–12, medium and wide widths, and four styles).
11. High-rise Keds, a must-have for anyone looking to spruce up their typical sneaker game.
I have these sneakers and I love love love them. They're very supportive, never cut-up my heels, and give me a little extra height. When I had a torn tendon and had to wear a big, clunky boot alongside my cast these were my go-to. They were stable and cute and helped keep me safely balanced. Basically, they're amazing and a must for your fall/spring/summer wardrobe.
Get them from Keds for $69.95 (available in sizes 5–11 and two colors).
12. Allbirds Dashers that'll make you feel like you're walking on air even if you're dripping sweat and huffing 'n' puffing from your outdoor run.
Without access to the gym last year I had to push myself to learn to run while safely social distancing (which is NOT an easy feat). I’ve had multiple foot injuries (I’m very accident prone) so choosing the right sneaker has been a challenge. I’ve tried out manyyyy different pairs but the only ones that have truly won over my heart are the Allbirds Dashers. I got them in a stunning mint green color and get tons of compliments on them. They’re super supportive, lightweight, and have held up great against months of running outdoors. Honestly, I’m already looking into buying a second pair!
Get them from Allbirds for $125 (available in men's sizes 8–14 and 17 styles, women's sizes 5–11 and 12 styles)
13. Sorel Kinetic Impact Lace Sneakers with a futuristic look to them, perfect for your trip to the year 3000 with the Jonas Brothers!
I recently snagged a pair of these in the Sea Salt/Yellow style and am *obsessed* At first I naively thought I was supposed to untie the laces — please learn from my errors and note that the laces actually do go around the bottom fo the shoe! They're a fun play on the street style trend and will surely become a favorite in my sneaker line-up.
Promising review: "I normally don't like wearing tennis shoes all day because my feet tend to sweat in them, then swell when I take them off. These are the best brand of tennis shoes I have ever owned. They feel wonderful on my arthritic feet, and my feet breathe in them all day, so they never sweat and don't swell up when I take them off. I bought a second pair in white. Well worth the money. All my other tennis shoes are going to Goodwill." —SBoo
Get them from Amazon for $105+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and six styles).
14. Adidas Cloudfoam Pure Running Shoes that'll leave your feet feeling ~heavenly~ after each mile. You can slip right into these without even wasting time fumbling with laces!
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE these running shoes. They are extremely lightweight, feels like you are running on air yet with support. Super cute, look exactly as pictured and are true to size. I always wear a 6 and the 6 fit me perfectly. I would order these 100 times over, actually contemplating getting another pair in a different color just because these are so perfect. I’ve had them for over two months and they have not worn out at all. Wipes clean and doesn’t stain, which is amazing!! I regularly run outside so I destroy my running shoes; these I’ve just taken a wet paper towel to and they are good as new! Sooo so happy with this purchase!" —Kat

15. Classic Keds Champion Canvas Sneakers you can count on for a perfect fit whether you pair them with jeans or a sundress. They're a must-have staple I'd be shocked to discover you don't already have in your closet.
I'll never forget the time a college professor caught me on my phone trying to order the Taylor Swift x Keds collaboration version of these classic sneakers. No regrets.
Promising review: "I purchased these shoes eight months ago and I am completely satisfied with my purchase. They fit true to size and once they are broken in, they are so comfortable. I wear them all day walking around the office every day and they are still holding up. I plan on buying another pair, they go with almost everything! I bought some no-tie silicone stretchy shoe laces so I can easily slip the shoe on and off without tying." —daniel&c

Get them from Amazon for $99.42+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 13 styles).
17. Superga sneakers you might want to add to your cart simply because Kate Middleton owns them. Who wouldn't want to dress like royalty without having to wear a ballgown and a heavy crown? JK, give me that crown ANY DAY.
BuzzFeed senior writer Elena Garcia loves her Superga sneakers:
"The design is classic and goes with everything. My go-to is a fresh white pair but they come in nearly every color you could think of and so many fun prints. They have an unlined cotton upper that's comfy and flexible, the footbed is perfectly cushioned, the soles are rubber and offer plenty of traction, and the platform gives you an extra inch of height."

Reviewers note to buy these in a size up from your usual shoe size!
Promising review: "Love these shoes! I saw them in-store at UO but they didn't have my size. Obviously I turned to Amazon because what doesn’t this site sell, and lo and behold, y’all had it. I try to pair these with almost every outfit because they’re so comfy and stylish! Recently went to Philly, where I had to walk everywhere because we didn't rent a car and these were only pair of shoes I brought (I travel light). These didn’t cramp up my feet at all as I walked over seven hours daily over the course of five days. Definitely recommend!" —Alli J

19. Nisolo high-top sneakers you'll love not only because they won't cut up the back of your ankles, but because they come in a neutral color that'll match anything and everything you pair 'em with.
20. Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars that'll look lovely with your daily uniform of leggings and a band T-shirt. What? That can't possibly be just me? You won't regret buying a fresh pair of these timeless shoes.
I mean, they're Converse! I've had quite a few of these over the years and the remain some of my favorite sneakers. I covered my original black pair in Taylor Swift lyrics ("Picture to Burn" was an ANTHEM for me in 2009, OK!) and have worn in many other pairs since. They're comfortable, look cute with jeans and dresses alike, and IMO are the perfect casual sneaker.
Promising review: "I LOVE Chucks. I have about eight or nine pairs. They are my go to shoe. I wear them with everything., skirts, dresses, jeans...... I like them because they hold up well and are comfy right out of the box. I also have knockoffs and the are so uncomfortable with thin soles or they are HOT and not in a good way (sweaty feet). Chucks have those little air holes in the side and, believe me, it makes a big difference. On my feet all day and when I wear my Chucks...no sore feet (or smelly feet)!" —Whovian
Get them from Amazon for $54+ (available in men's sizes 4–13, women's sizes 6–15, and 24 styles).

I love these sneakers because they look super polished and don't show a lot of wear and tear. I wore these in the pouring rain and they still look brand new.

Promising review: "I adore these shoes, and I get compliments on them often. I usually avoid tennis shoes because my feet are wide at the front and narrow around the heel, but these fit comfortably everywhere. They make me feel grounded and playful, so it's a delight to wear them." —DogMa
