I am a freelance writer and editor who has been covering lifestyle for more than 20 years. I have written about women’s and men’s fashion for publications such as Allure, In Style, Cosmopolitan, Women’s Health and Details—and the highlight of my career so far has been hanging out with Taylor Swift one weekend for a cover story. Along with fashion, I cover topics around running gear and equipment; I’m a former track athlete and four-time marathoner who still logs 40 to 50 miles each week, many of them on the treadmill. In addition to my writing career, I also have a small interior design and gardening business, and have done some personal styling. I live in Connecticut with my husband and three sons, who are all obsessed with their sneakers.

Sizes: 8 to 14 | Upper materials: Eucalyptus tree fiber knit | Sole material: Brazilian sugarcane (SweetFoam) | Colors: 22 total, including Jet Black and Mist

  • What’s notable: This pair is machine washable, so you don’t have to stress about spills or scuffs.
  • What could be better: It comes in whole sizes only, which can be frustrating to some.

Perfect for everything from the workday to a plane trip to even light exercise, Allbirds’ Tree Runners are simple to slip on and feel comfortable all day. Between the light knit upper, cushioned sole and relaxed style, they’re an easy pick for your collection. You can feel good about wearing them, too; every material they’re made with is sustainably sourced.

What the reviews say: These shoes are praised for their versatility and comfort: Reviewers comment, “these shoes changed my life,” and “I work in retail and these are the only shoes that I can wear all day without my feet hurting.” But some remark that they can be hard to get on, saying if you have big or wide feet, the shoe opening can be “very shallow.”

Sizes: 6 to 15 | Upper materials: Leather, synthetic materials | Sole material: Rubber | Colors: 10 total, including White and Black

  • What’s notable: The discreet perforations on this style add to its breathability.
  • What could be better: It runs narrow, and the white color requires upkeep to keep it free of scuffs and stains.

Retro looks never go out of style—nor do crisp, white sneakers—and this classic throwback to the ‘80s will keep you looking fresh with your favorite pair of jeans or shorts. Plus, Nike updated the construction with 20% recycled materials at minimum, so you can feel good about this pick. The supple synthetic upper is flexible, and the collar hits low on the ankle so you move with ease. And FYI, if you’re shopping through Amazon, keep in mind: The Nike Court Vision Low sneakers are listed as “Nike Men’s Basketball Shoe.”

What the reviews say: Wearers “love the material and the way they hold up over time” and say that they’re “comfortable and supportive.” However, some say these run “very narrow” and “crease instantly.”

Sizes: 6 to 16 | Upper materials: Leather, nubuck, suede | Sole material: Rubber | Colors: 9 total, including British Tan and Marine Blue

  • What’s notable: These look like dress shoes but feel like sneakers, and this style is available in medium and wide widths.
  • What could be better: They run large, so you may have to size down, and the soles are not true white.

When you need a comfortable pair of shoes for the office, Cole Haan is a reliable source. Its Zerøgrand shoes have been work staples for years, and this latest iteration seamlessly blends business with a touch of laidback style, particularly with the sporty sole and mesh upper. They’ll keep you looking like a pro but feeling like you’re lounging about.

What the reviews say: This shoe is a standout for its cushy, lightweight sole and business-appropriate style, with wearers saying they are a “sharp-looking shoe that is more comfortable than my sneakers,” and they have “great style and comfort that can be either dressy or casual.” However, some say the leather could be better since “the edges of the shoe are hard and rub against the ankle.”
