These 20 Sneakers Are Rated the Most Comfortable
There are many factors to consider when it comes to finding the perfect pair of sneakers, but the comfort aspect tops the list. (Okay, yes, they need to look fly too.) Sure, trainers should, in theory, be comfier than heels, given the cushioned, flat silhouette, but some can actually be deceiving. To pinpoint the absolute best sneakers out there, we culled through the stores you love to shop (hello, Nordstrom and Amazon) to pull the styles that are rated the comfiest by real customers. Here, we’re talking sneakers with a rating of 4.3 out of five and higher. Keep scrolling to find your new go-to pair and stay comfortable all season long.
