Fashion sneakers are the shoe you turn to when you want more support than a sandal or flat but don’t need the same kind of cushioning as an athletic "Dad" shoe. Everyday fashion sneakers are casual but not sloppy, sturdy but not bulky — and ideally, they're sneakers that go with everything in your closet. They will have a chic, minimalist upper with a sole that you can tread anywhere. This doesn’t necessarily mean plain, but they might take their inspiration more from loafers or Oxfords than your standard running shoes.
A leather low-top or lace-up sneaker with an on-trend platform is casual yet elevated. If your look is very athletic-inspired, consider stripped-down styles in active materials like mesh sock sneakers that feel futuristic and are easier to style up. Likewise, there are also some ultra-classic and ultra-trendy styles like canvas Keds and leopard slip-ons, plus glam quilted options that channel a classic designer bag.
In terms of color, leopard print functions much like a neutral despite its notice-me aura, but many of the best sneakers below are white. The crisp color looks fresh and clean and brightens up any outfit. Toasty beige and oyster gray make good alternatives if you love the airy look of white kicks but just can’t handle the maintenance to keep them spotless. And know that you can also find most of the styles featured here in darker hues too for those “all black everything” moods (so make sure to click through when you spot something you love).
Ahead: 22 sneakers that really, truly go with just about everything you own.
1A Luxe White Leather Sneaker
White leather sneakers feel fresh and upscale yet laid back. This classic white adidas sneaker comes in neutral leathers (mostly white) with tonal stripes, as well as cleaner perforated designs if you don’t want an accent color. A comfortable layer of foam and a soft sock liner will help keep you on your feet all day. One fan raved, "Best purchase ever. I knew they’d be cute but I didn’t expect them to be SO comfortable. They also, unexpectedly, go with everything from summer dresses to jeans and shorts. I absolutely love these!"

Available sizes: 5 – 11
2A Pair Of Futuristic Sock Sneakers
Sleek, modern sock sneakers have an athletic profile in a minimalist lace-free design. There’s a heel tab to help you pull them on, although the lightweight mesh upper is so stretchy you might not need the extra help. (It's also super breathable.) The rubber sole has light traction. "Very comfortable and easy walking shoe. I usually don't like a tennis shoe without socks, but don't need them with these," one shopper observed, adding, "Love the light grey color. Matches everything." Choose from more than 20 different neutral hues, like white, apricot (featured here), and deep gray.

3A Budget-Friendly Pair Of High-Tops You’ll Wear With Everything
If you need an affordable Converse alternative in a high-top build, these classic kicks from ZGR are everything. The high-rise canvas upper covers your ankle and laces down to a white rubber toe cap and striped sole. “I love them. They are comfy and match almost anything. You can dress them up or down,” a shopper pointed out. “They’ve put up to a lot of wear and tear and dirt and grime and they have survived extremely well.”

4A Pair Of Trendy Leopard Slip-On Sneakers
Get a pair of slip-on sneakers in leopard to add a pop of pattern that's easy to wear with so many things. "I wear them to work, on the weekends, dressy or casual; they always fit the bill. I'll probably get another color soon, but I absolutely adore these leopard prints," one fan gushed. These glam sneakers have the insole technology that Dr. Scholl's is known for: They're engineered for comfort across three different planes, and a padded heel cup is trimmed on the outside with faux-patent leather for a little extra visual interest. With a thick rubber sole and synthetic upper, they're a comfortable, sturdy shoe. Plus, they're available in a range of wearable neutral colors and in regular and wide sizes.
Available colors: 18
Available sizes: 5 – 11 (and in wide sizes)
5These Sporty Sneakers With A *Massive* Cult Following
With over 50,000 ratings, the adidas Cloudfoam sneaker is on its way to becoming a new classic. It’s a knit slip-on style with two tabs that make them easier to get on and laces at the instep for an adjustable, secure fit. Inside is a layer of their proprietary cushioning that lives up to its cloudlike status, and the sole is engineered to be equally lightweight in a nonmarking rubberized foam. “They are extremely light weight, feels like you are running on air yet with support. Super cute, look exactly as pictured & are true to size,” one shopper commented, adding that they held up well to outdoor exercise and wiped clean with no stains. “Actually contemplating getting another pair in a different color just because these are so perfect.”

6An Affordable Vegan Leather Sneaker
These budget-friendly white faux leather sneakers look as good as they feel. They have a soft lining and padded insole with a waterproof rubber sole that features light gridded traction. A small grosgrain stripe on the heel cup is a subtle upgrade accent that doesn't detract from these sneakers' clean lines. "These shoes are comfortable and great looking! I buy them because they're non-leather, but they look as well-made as any leather ones out there for a fraction of the price," one reviewer wrote. Choose from perforated and non-perforated options and even one mauve pair that feels eminently wearable.
Available colors: 14
Available sizes: 6 – 10
7Some Modern Minimalist Slip-Ons
These oh-so-comfy memory foam sneakers have a faux suede upper and ultra-clean lines, not to mention the nice use of texture, that belies their under-$50 price point. You'll wear them all day with that plush cushion, and the rubber sole is flexible and waterproof while an elastic gore ensures they’re easy to slip on or off. "They are so stinking adorable and they go with everything! Not to mention that they are extremely comfortable, like walking on pillows. I’m really considering ordering a back-up pair in case anything happens to them," one shopper mused. Choose from eight colorways, all in a super-wearble neutral palette. They aren’t quite as padded at the heel as other picks on this list, due to the overall low-profile style, so sensitive skin might want to pick up a good low-profile sock, too.
Available colors: 8
Available sizes: 5 – 12
8An Affordable Converse-Alternative Canvas Sneaker
Get iconic style without the sticker shock in these adorable Converse alternatives. They tick all the boxes, with a low canvas upper with contrast stitching and silver metal eyelets, plus a white toe cap and subtle striped rubber sole. They come in classic colors including black, red, and blue with fun variations like the leopard, faux linen, and a peppy tie-dye. “I was excited to try these and so happy when I found they fit so nicely,” reported one shopper. “I’ve worn them nearly everyday since I got them.”

9A Pair Of Cross-Trainers That Look Ultra-Fresh
The mix of textures with an eye-catching strap over the instep makes New Balance’s FuelCore sneaker one you won’t want to save for the gym. A lightweight knit upper is flexible and breathable, while inside, contoured memory foam builds serious arch support with ample cushioning. All of its colorways are nicely muted yet not at all boring — from black and fog gray to blush, and check out that navy with a brushed gold strap if it’s available in your size. “This is my 3rd pair of these shoes (all in different colors). They are so comfortable and go with everything...They're truly an everyday sneaker,” a fan praised.

10These Street-Style Leather Sneakers With A Bit Of Lift
Puma partnered with Amazon to create a line of street-style kicks at an affordable price point. These leather low-tops, with a subtle 3-inch platform, are cut like a retro gym shoe and have a perforated upper, but that sleek shape is pure 21st-century athleisure. The memory foam insole got high marks from shoppers, and more than one fan compared it to walking on clouds. “Amazing value! Shoes look great, feel great, and are holding up well,” a reviewer reported. “They're not clunky, but have a nice streamlined fit.” Some shoppers with wide feet recommended going up a size.

11These Classic White Canvas Sneakers
A quick and casual shoe for easygoing days, a white canvas sneaker won’t weigh you down and has the added benefit of being able to go in the washing machine if it gets dirty. "I can wear these everywhere, with everything and it's as close to barefoot, I think I can get," a reviewer pointed out. Although the breathable cotton canvas upper isn't water-resistant, the thin rubber sole on these classic Keds is naturally waterproof with plenty of traction — and the shoe is low-profile enough to squeeze into a crowded suitcase. What's more: They come in four widths — including narrow, regular, and two wide measurements — so there's a shoe for everyone.

Available sizes: 4 – 13 (and in narrow and wide sizes)
12These Boat-Ready Slip-Ons With Nautical Flair
These Sperry canvas shoes look ready for the high seas, with their cute and preppy nautical striped heel accent and genuine rawhide laces. And they’re ready for plenty of steps on land too thanks to their sturdy, rubber sole that comes with wave traction. “The memory foam insoles make it feel like you are wearing slippers. Yes, your feet are that comfortable!” one fan reported, adding, “I love the way that the rawhide laces are coiled into a knot instead of tied in a bow.”

13A Flat Sneaker Bootie With *Tons* Of Stylish Variations
I couldn’t resist showing you this flat sneaker boot as an alternative to the Athlefit wedge above. This style is halfway between a sneaker and a Chelsea boot with a faux leather high-top upper and elastic ankle gore for the easiest slip-on fit. There’s some impressive padding along the back of the heel and a memory foam lining, with extra cushioning thanks to their thick rubber sole. “They are crazy comfortable, absolutely adorable,” a shopper commented. Several fans reported that the colors were true to what you see on screen, and some recommended sizing down for the perfect fit.

14These Chunky Platform Sneakers That Look High-End
In luxe leather, these platform Puma sneakers are an elevated spin on your regular kicks. Clean lines are accented with swoops of tonal stitching and matching laces for a minimalist effect, and they’re well-cushioned with a soft lining inside for comfort. The 1.5-inch platform is nicely chunky without weighing down your feet — not to mention bouncy and shock-absorbent. “Feels like walking on clouds! I was a little worried about getting these because I am not a huge fan of platform shoes. But they are not super high platforms and are super cute! One of my favorite pairs of shoes,” a reviewer gushed.

You get a 100% cotton canvas upper with curved stitching over the instep and flat rubber sole on par with their more expensive counterparts. “I wore these for a full day of walking at Disneyland. I had no blisters and my feet were not overly tired. Definite win! I plan on ordering more in any available colors. I was finally able to retire my old Keds that were falling apart,” a fan vouched. Note: The brand advises to order up a half-size for extra width if needed.

16This Light-As-Air Sneaker Designed For Serious Comfort
These comfortable walking sneakers look like an expensive athletic pair, but they’re all cushion and bounce — and, wait for it, they weigh only 0.8 pounds each for an extremely lightweight pair. The mesh knit upper has targeted channels for breathability, while inside is a padded collar and soft fabric lining layered over memory foam cushioning. The MD sole is a blend of EVA foam and rubber to provide excellent shock absorption and flexibility. “I honestly am in awe of how nice-looking and comfortable these sneakers are. I tried them out yesterday and got some head-turners; they even compared it to Adidas and Nike,” a reviewer remarked. “Absolutely in love with these sneakers. Will probably buy another pair.”

17These Arty Kicks For A Fun Statement
The Lugz Clipper sneaker has laidback skater style that leaves you with money left over to invest in your board. (Or at least an iced coffee.) A 100% canvas upper features a faux leather heel guard that looks cool while preventing excess wear, and twin elastic gores for an easy on. The interior is lined with a soft and breathable fabric, plus a removable cushioned lining between you and the skidproof rubber sole in case you need to swap out. The paint splatter colorway feels unique but neutral enough to go with anything and you can also score them in textured solids, pastels, and tie-dye. “I wanted Vans, but didn’t want to pay $60,” a reviewer confided. “Ordered these and wore them for an entire weekend walking around NYC. We walked like 30 miles in two days and these were surprisingly comfortable, I didn’t regret wearing them. I’ll definitely buy more.”

- Available sizes: 5.5 — 12
18These Chunky Platform Sneakers
If your aesthetic leans more towards edgy (or you're seeking a little extra height), a platform sneaker in white canvas is your stylized spin on the basic. The extra-thick 1.5-inch rubber platform sole is a statement that actually absorbs more shock than your average sneaker — although they do have some heft to them. The natural cotton canvas upper is breathable but not water-resistant. "Cute shoes! I love these 90s style platforms- they make an ordinary white shoe way more fun!" raved one reviewer. Some fans did think they felt a little loose in the heel but remedied that with heel cup inserts.
Available colors: 22
Available sizes: 5 – 10
19These Chic Quilted Slip-Ons
Some trendy, quilted slip-on shoes channel one iconic handbag in a much more accessible package. The textured synthetic upper tops a comfortable thick rubber sole in a convenient slip-on design. Its collar seam is lightly padded and therefore less likely to rub, while subtle elastic gores ensure a comfortable fit that’s easy to get on and off. "These are my go-to daily shoes," reported one shopper. "I teach and am on my feet all day so I need something comfy and these fit like a glove and feel like walking on a cloud! They are an amazing value for the money." They're available in regular and narrow widths, and if you're looking for a slightly different style, make sure to scroll through the listing's dropdown menu for variations on this theme.

20A Vintage Athletic Shoe That’s Pretty Iconic
Sturdy and iconic, the Reebok Classic Renaissance sneaker is still going strong decades after its introduction. The faux leather upper is sewn with multiple layers to be strong and supportive with a soft fabric lining and plenty of padding. Inside are two layers of foam cushioning, including a thick layer that brackets the ankle and another under the tongue, that virtually guarantees they can’t rub. Underneath is a low lug sole that channels the grip of a hiking boot for plenty of traction. “This is literally the best shoe I've ever worn,” a fan gushed. “This shoe has actually made me more active because I don't have the dreaded pain anymore. They are SO comfortable...Added bonus: much more stylish and cute in person.”

21Some Cute Wedge Sneaker Boots
These on-trend sneaker booties boast just under two inches of lift, giving you a walkable wedge with a little extra height. They have a faux suede upper and a nonslip rubber sneaker sole, while the wide elastic strap across the front both ensures a secure fit and somehow makes them look far more expensive than they are. A short zipper inside each ankle makes the streamlined ankle boot easy to get on and off. "I bought them prior to a trip to use occasionally while traveling, and ended up wearing them almost everyday! They are SO COMFORTABLE! I walked miles in these while sightseeing and was amazed at how comfy they are. Plus, they are very cute and I got numerous compliments," one fan raved. They're available in several different finishes, from a black faux croco to a soft leopard print.
