The best sneakers for women are non-negotiable, wardrobe essentials. You may swear by heels, or have a collection of slip-on loafers and ballet flats in rotation, but sneaker mania has swept our hearts, and these comfy-yet-chic shoes have become our footwear mainstays rain or shine. The best sneakers for women are those that are simple and durable enough to go with everything, whether you prefer an affordable classic, such as the Nike Cortez or Adidas Sambas, or live for a luxury designer pair, like those from The Row or Gucci.
Vogue’s Top Sneaker Picks:
If you’re looking for somewhere to start, you can never go wrong with the iconic sneaker houses, such as Nike, Adidas, Converse or Vans. You can also shop material or silhouette first, like a leather low-top, suede runner, or classic canvas high-top. For street style cred, a contemporary, fashion sneaker has become the editor go-to—retro-inspired picks from Loewe and Miu Miu are current favorites. However, the main approach is find the style that you prefer, whether that’s chunky, slim, or sporty (plus, cushioned or with arch support and a removable insole should you need it), then decide on the colorway and material.
Minimal white sneakers tend to get the most wear, since they complement just about anything, but depending on your preferred color palette, you might choose a cushioned shoe that mixes neutrals, such as blacks and browns, or something with a little more flair. Retro shapes are having their moment in the spotlight, as is the ballerina runner (we can thank Bella Hadid for that one), and you’ll find them in both vibrant hues and mainstay classics. From coveted designer iterations to heritage classics, find our top picks for the best sneakers for women that are sure to upgrade your shoe closet.
Designer Whites
A white leather sneaker is a no-brainer purchase, whether used as an everyday shoe or travel shoe for a full day of walking. The material gets better with age, plus offers a snug and secure fit—no blisters here! If budget allows, it makes sense to invest in a designer iteration—after all, they do know good leather. From a slim runner shape from Toteme and Gucci’s tennis-inspired trainer, to Dries Van Noten’s retro shoes and Prada’s newest distressed sneaker, there is something for everyone.
