When it comes to the most comfortable sneakers around, it's hard to beat the New Balance 990 V6. An updated version of the the brand's iconic 990 silhouette, this trendy style boasts responsive FuelCell cushioning and a plush yet durable midsole for all-day comfort.
There's a reason everyone from finance bros to A-listers continue to flock to Allbirds sneakers. The brand's styles are known for being ultra-supportive, lightweight, eco-friendly, and machine washable—with the newer Tree Dasher 2 being no exception. Perfect for everyday activities, it has an airy upper made of eucalyptus tree fiber, castor bean oil-based foam insoles, and a cushy, shock-absorbing midsole crafted from recycled sugarcane.
For a sneaker that can easily be worn from the trail to the streets (and back again), Olukai's sporty Mio Li shoes are a must. They feature a grippy lug sole and secure bungee laces for enhanced stability on rugged terrain and slick sidewalks. Thanks to their signature "drop-in" heel design, they'll also double as sporty slides that you'll be eager to slip into for brunch or running errands.
Hoka makes some of the hands-down cushiest walking and running shoes on the market. Case in point: Its ultra-plush Bondi 8 runner, which is built with layers of soft yet lightweight foam and a crash pad at the rear for a pillowy yet balanced ride. It's earned The American Podiatric Medical Association's Seal of Acceptance for promoting good foot health, and, per multiple Amazon reviewers, offers great relief for anyone suffering from plantar fasciitis.
If you're seeking a timeless everyday silhouette, you can't go wrong with a classic court sneaker like Cole Haan's Grandpro Rally. Featuring a durable canvas upper with sleek leather accents, it's easy to dress up or down for all kinds of occasions. Plus, its memory foam footbed and lightweight injection-molded soles will help keep you light on your feet for hours.
Veja's minimalist leather kicks are effortlessly cool. Like most of the French footwear brand's offerings, the Campo style has a streamlined silhouette with subtle branding and is made with recycled materials in the soles and lining for an extra feel-good touch. Recycled EVA foam gives it a plush feel underfoot, too.
Another great cozy-meets-sustainable sneaker, Rothy's RS01 has even made fans of stars like Pedro Pascal and Ben Affleck. Its soft, breathable knit upper is impressively spun from 100 percent recycled plastic bottles. And underfoot, there's a contoured footbed and sturdy gum soles for enhanced comfort and grip. And as the cherry on top, these stylish, retro-leaning kicks are also machine washable!
Stan Smiths are always a good idea, especially when they're done in this crisp white and navy-accented colorway. Complete with a sturdy leather upper and lightweight cushioning, these simple, reliably comfy kicks will never go out of style and go with everything in your closet.
Don't be fooled by their polished exterior. These sharp, faux leather sneakers are packed with plenty of supportive features like a breathable insole with arch support and a padded tongue and collar. A textured outsole also helps give you better grip from the office to happy hour.
Add some fun '80s-inspired flair to your running shoe collection with these eye-catching, color-blocked Reeboks. Ideal for casual daytime and nighttime runners, they feature a lightweight, responsive insole, a waved, shock-absorbing outsole, and reflective details to keep you visible to oncoming traffic after dark.
If a pair of vintagey high-tops is more your speed, go for this sleek style from the experts at Greats. Handcrafted in Italy, it has a distressed suede upper for an edgy, worn-in feel, plus a premium leather footbed with plenty of plush cushioning.
These sporty Adidas sneakers are designed to offer an ultra-lightweight feel for long runs or while you simply go about your day. It's all thanks to their stretchy textile and the brand's signature "Cloudfoam" insole that helps keeps aches at bay but never weighs you down.
