We all know I love a good pair of white sneakers. It doesn’t matter if it’s a school run, a brunch with friends, or a Saturday date night, I will probably be in some sneakers. The simplicity and reliability of a good pair of white sneakers can do wonders when you want to try wearing something out of your comfort zone. Ready to try that short dress for your dinner date? Pair it with your sneakers. Unsure if you can give up your skinny jeans for the wide-leg style? Throw on your favorite white sneakers. It’s basically impossible to “mess up” your other style choices when you pair them with white sneakers, and they can provide a blank canvas when trying out other new and bold pieces.
While I may sing the praises of the white sneaker with unbridled passion, finding the perfect pair of white sneakers can sometimes be tricky. Many are super uncomfortable, or make your feet look too big (or small). I’ve rounded up some of my favorite brands of white sneakers, and a few new ones I plan on getting for myself! And don’t forget to pick up some good shoe cleaner while you’re at it-while a few scuffs give your kicks more personality, it’s always nice to have handy for some of the bigger marks that may happen with normal wear. Mr Clean Magic Erasers are god sent.
Sneakers for On-the-Go
If you’re needing some fresh kicks that you plan on doing a lot of walking in, there’s nothing better than a classic Nike. Made for walking, running, and most importantly, chasing after my two boys! I love that the laces are hidden, and they are so cushioned it will be a breeze getting around the city. I also love these Bright White Slip On Sneakers because they have the dependable cushion as most Rothy’s do, but they’re also slip on. Perfect for walking the dog, a quick trip to the store, or going to lunch with the hubs. Add the fact that they’re machine washable and these white kicks will stay fresh many outings to come.
Madewell also has some super cute leather sneakers with a touch of color that have MWL cloudlift insoles as well as being eco-friendly. They are high quality, casual, and they’ll keep your feet comfortable while running all your errands
Sneakers to Splurge On
If you’re ready to take the plunge into an elevated, designer sneaker, these Nama Platform Sneakers by Chloe are IT. You know I already have them in another colorway, but I may just need to get them in the pure white. They’re so comfortable and such a great versatile shoe that can be worn to many different events.
I’ve also been eyeing these Gucci GG embossed sneakers I am obsessed with how retro they look and the small platform is perfection. 100% want to be wearing these to a fancy dinner in the city with friends.
Sneakers on a Budget
When looking for a good, everyday pair of white sneakers with a budget in mind (sorry Gucci), these platform sneakers by…wait for it…Dr. Scholl’s are perfect. Dr. Scholl’s has come along way, because these sneakers and trendy and fashionable while also having a ton of padding. Your feet will be happy as well as your wallet, because these are under $80.
And while we’re talking white sneakers, we can’t forget the original Chucks. These All Star Lugged Sneakers are so freaking awesome. These eye-turning Chucks are only $80! If you like a high-top sneaker, grab yourself a pair of these super cool All Stars.
Sneakers for Day or Night
While we are on the subject of high tops, I have been eyeing these platform and high top Vans. Once again, retro is in and these are stunning. These can be dressed up casual with some wide-legs jeans or get paired with a fabulous strapless dress for a night out. If high top is not your love language, these Roger tennis shoes from ON make such a statement. Called “court-tech street sneaker,” these kicks give comfort, agility, and a chic profile perfect for dressing up. How fab would these look with a mini dress?
Finding the perfect pair of white sneakers for YOU may take a few try-ons, but rest assured you WILL see me in white after Labor Day, and it will absolutely be in my white sneakers.
