These are made with a soft leather and suede, and just feel a little bit more well done than your regular (cheaper) sneaker. The blue stripes and gum sole make them stand out just a bit.Colors12Sizes7-13WidthsStandardUpper MaterialLeather, suedeReebok’s Club C Vintage is a slightly more retro version of the classic sneaker, visible largely in the off-white color. They are comfy right out of the box with a flexible leather upper, padded tongue and heel, and small perforation at the toe. They don’t have the most arch support in the world, but they are plenty able to fit an insole if that’s a better fit for your foot.Colors5Sizes3.5-15WidthsStandardUpper MaterialLeatherAdvertisement - Continue Reading BelowThe 9060’s wide base and dual-cushioned midsole make it one of our favorite New Balance sneakers. And also maybe just favorite sneakers? The weird supportive (NB calls them “sculpted”) midsole pods cushion all around your foot and make for a stable step, with all force diffused outward as you walk.Colors9Sizes4-17WidthsStandardUpper MaterialPigskin, meshThese runners are shockingly comfortable. Like, they look like they might be comfortable, but the midsole really comes through big time on its cushion and softness. If you want a shoe that is comfortable, looks put together, and doesn’t scream any labels, these are it. The cream and black suede details and faded black nylon make them interesting—and they come in nine other fun colorways. Plus, these are lined with moisture-wicking mesh to prevent foot stink.Colors10Sizes7-13WidthsStandardUpper MaterialRecycled nylon, suedeAdvertisement - Continue Reading BelowThe Greats Kingston sneaker is a great alternative to a minimal white sneaker. It is still a low-top, all-white sneaker—the easiest one to style—but it’s more interesting than a plain leather or canvas. Instead, this has a more textured upper made from premium goat leather with a perforated toe and sides. They’re flexible and comfortable.Colors5Sizes7-16WidthsStandardUpper MaterialLeatherI’m sorry to say that if you want one of the most comfortable and stylish pairs of sneakers out there, you’re probably going to have to preorder them. We’re not ones to gate-keep here, so at the risk of making these cult-favorite shoes even more popular, we need to tell you about Amberjack’s Court sneakers, which are one of the brand’s best-selling styles. Not only do they look great with a premium leather and water-resistant suede upper, but the removable heat-activated insole literally molds to the shape of your foot for the highest level of comfort.Colors4Sizes8-14WidthsStandardUpper MaterialLeather, suedeAdvertisement - Continue Reading BelowIf you’re looking for an everyday sneaker with a pop of color, check out these ones from Saucony. The ProGrid Omni 9 is light and breathable thanks to its open mesh upper, and suede and leather overlays keep things interesting. And with comfy cushioning, you can wear them all day long. Sure, you can get them in a classic black-on-white colorway, but we especially like the fun, colorful designs, like this orange one.Colors19Sizes3.5-14WidthsStandardUpper MaterialMesh, suede, leatherA classic German Army Trainer makes a great everyday sneaker, and we’re big fans of Oliver Cabell’s version. These have the simple, streamlined look of a GAT, but the leather and suede stand in stark contrast to each other, which helps them stand out from the rest of the pack. We’re also suckers for a gum sole and cushy EVA insoles.ColorsWhite, blue, blackSizes6-15WidthsStandardUpper MaterialLeather, suedeAdvertisement - Continue Reading BelowCole Haan makes a lightweight leather tennis sneaker you could walk for miles in and still have happy feet thanks to the molded EVA midsole that gives top-tier cushioning. The white leather option is, of course, polished and timeless, but if you’re worried about getting these dirty, there are seven other great colorways to choose from, like navy blue leather and a gorgeous light blue suede.Colors8Sizes7-15WidthsMedium, wideUpper MaterialLeatherJust because these are everyday sneakers, doesn’t mean they can’t be a little fancy. Take these low-profile leather and suede sneakers from Todd Snyder, for example; they’re stylish and made in Portugal from premium materials, but they’re also comfortable to walk in and pair perfectly with any outfit, thanks to their clean and classic design.Colors4Sizes8-13WidthsStandardUpper MaterialNubuck suede, leather
