5 Comfortable Shoes I’m Living in This Spring

White sneakers are timeless, but they’re an especially great pick for spring because they go with most light-colored outfits. I’ve had this pair in extra-white/matcha for over a year, and they’re some of the comfiest sneakers I own. They’re incredibly sturdy for white leather; I’ve accidentally rubbed them against many a curb, and they’ve never scuffed or scratched. They also hold up surprisingly well in rainstorms. I love that the brand uses sustainable materials, like Amazonian rubber and recycled plastic. But the best part is the fit: I’ve walked over 40 blocks in a day in these babies, and they managed to keep my feet feeling great. Bonus: the heel top also never causes blisters. Several colorways are currently on sale, and the black/white combo is 20% off.

The ballerina sneaker trend isn’t going away anytime soon, but they’re at the apex of comfortable and cute, so we’re not mad about it. We love this pair from Vivaia, a brand that makes some of the most comfortable flats for work around (the square-toe Mary Janes will always be in our closets). The Sneakerina feels like you’re walking barefoot, but with enough support to keep you going. The shoes’ elastic backs keep them from rubbing or slipping, and the square front gives your toes more space to move. Did we mention you can also roll them up so they fit compactly in your suitcase? We can’t imagine a more versatile shoe for spring.

If there’s one pair of shoes that will take you from now through the summer, it’s plain canvas tennis shoes like these from Seavees. My usual problem with tennis shoes is that they have no support for my flat feet — not the case with this pair. They have the cushiest insole (it’s a bio-based memory foam), and the white canvas isn’t too white, if you know what I mean. I love wearing them with sun dresses, but they’re also the perfect throw-on-and-go sneakers with your favorite worn-in jeans or workout leggings. They’re super breathable, 100 percent vegan, and made from entirely recycled materials. If you prefer a slip-on style, try these.

When it gets warm enough to let your toes peek out, fisherman sandals will be your bare feet’s best friends. They’re stylish but also built for walking around all day in the spring sunshine. We love their insoles, which are super plushy, and the signature Rothy’s fabric upper is made from recycled plastic bottles. They’re designed to stretch and move with you, so the shoes never rub. You can easily wear them from work to dinner, and we love them with wide-leg ankle pants or a casual midi-length dress. Unbelievable perk: they’re machine-washable.
