In my humble opinion, the shoes make clothes. Sneakers are great for walking in comfort and to match your better outfits. I love pairing sneakers with maxi dresses, skirts and suits!
Here are eight of our team’s favorite sneakers.
01
adidas Originals Stan Smith Sneakers
Recommended by: Kate
$95
These shoes were everywhere in 2015 and I still think they’re a classic!
Fit: TTS
02
Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Move High Top Platform Sneakers
Recommended by: Nancy, Executive Assistant
$75
I wore these on a recent trip to Toronto, walking many miles every day. They are very comfortable!
Fit: TTS
03
Reebok Club C 85 Vintage Sneakers
Recommended by: Greta, Content Creator
$85
These are the most comfortable shoes I own. I can literally wear them all day and my feet don’t hurt. For such flat work, they are quite supportive!
Fit: TTS
04
Sports shoes VEJA V-10
Recommended by: Carolyn, Graphic Designer
$165
These VEJAs are the only sneakers I wear and I can’t recommend it enough! This is especially true if you are a minimalist and are looking for a non-sporting brand option. I love that they go with everything without feeling too basic. I can say my items are holding up really well after months of wear, including two weeks of walking around Europe with them!
Fit: TTS
05
Brandblack Specter SC 2.0 Sneakers
Recommended by: Kate
$264
This is a gift from Joe for Christmas. Overall, the brand’s sneakers incorporate unexpected colors and include interesting details. I love the exposed foam on the tongue and the fact that they have a slight pre-pain in the sole — it gives them a unique, toned look.
Fit: They run a bit small.
06
New Balance sneakers 237
Recommended by: Jackie, Editorial Director
$80
I heard great things about these sneakers online and decided to give them a try. First and foremost, they’re super comfortable — I wear them while hiking and cycling around town. I also love how easy they are to style up or down. Plus, they come in lots of fun color combinations. I’m thinking of ordering a second pair!
Fit: TTS. I also appreciate the width — not being narrow is an issue I sometimes have when ordering shoes online.
07
Esplar VEJA sneakers
Recommended by: Greta
$140
I’ve had these for four or five years and they’ve been very well organized. The quality is amazing, and if you want a sustainably made pair of sneakers, this brand is one of the best choices IMO. Sneakers come in a wide range of color options and will never go out of style!
Fit: TTS. The VEJA are a bit of a breakthrough because the leather is firmer, but once they’ve broken down, they’re super comfortable!
08
Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Slip Sneakers
Recommended by: Bridgette, Brand Manager
$55
I have worn Converse All Star sneakers for many years. They are classic and easy to style with anything.
Fit: They are a bit large in my experience and take some time to penetrate.
