While we love heeled mules and ballet flats here at Who What Wear, there will always be a special spot secured in our hearts for sneakers. After all, when it's time to run errands or spend the day on your feet, you want shoes that will give you plenty of support. But that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style either. (If you saw us in the office, you'd be shocked at how many of us are wearing sneakers on a daily basis.) There are hundreds of pages of sneakers to sift through online, so we went in and narrowed it down to 29 that are worth the purchase.

You'll not only find classic pairs that are highly rated for comfort, but we also included some peak-cool pairs that are hot on the market and will probably sell out immediately. Think (in stock!) Adidas Sambas and Gazelles, brightly hued Nikes, and very retro-inspired New Balances. There's plenty to love in this mix. If you've been on the path to making some improvements to your sneaker collection, you've found the right place to start. Keep scrolling to get started.

Associate Fashion Editor
Yusra Siddiqui is an editor who resides in New Jersey but bounces between the suburbs and NYC. (She's a Jersey girl at heart.) After interning at Who What Wear in 2019, she found her way to the team after graduating from LIM College in 2022 with a fashion media degree. She's also spent time writing and working for publications such as Fashionista, Coveteur, and Nylon, but she always knew that Who What Wear was where she was meant to be. When she's on the job, she's perusing runway shows, analyzing the latest thing fellow Gen Zers are up to on the internet, and sharing what she can about the modest-fashion market. You can also catch her dabbling in entertainment, talking about the costume choices of the latest Netflix series or diving deeper into how the plotline affects the viewers in a myriad of ways. Lastly, she likes to create content for Who What Wear's TikTok. Her personal time is spent doing similar but also different things—deep diving into almost every new TV show (Bridgerton, Gilmore Girls, and Stranger Things are favorites), planning her next local getaway (whenever that may be), and reading the latest Emily Henry or Sally Rooney novel in one sitting.
