Cloudnova Void

These shoes are aptly named, giving you the feeling that you're running on clouds. Skeptical? We get it, but the space-tech-inspired material design of this slip-on style is really something else. The wider outsole also distributes the pressure with every step.

Gel-Kayano 29

This iteration of this beloved sneaker is perfect for those of you that have extra-wide feet. A responsive underfoot feel delivers a staple run, so you feel supported throughout the entirety of it. Furthermore, enhanced stability is achieved through the midsole's construction which prevents your feet from rolling too far inward during your stride.

Clifton 9

The chunky silhouette of this bad boy can be seen gracing all city and suburban streets alike. Whether used for walking or running, the thick-soled sneaker is a favorite for those with any sort of knee injuries. It's heftily cushioned for anyone who wants the extra support.

Made in USA 990v6

Look no further for the ultimate Dad shoe. Embrace the retro vibes with a pair of shoes that are as iconic as they are comfortable. Performance-inspired updates elevated the classic sneaker to deliver a more contemporary version that still retains a streamlined look.

Tree Runner

The soft and stretchy exterior of Allbirds makes them a no-brainer when it came down to selecting the styles for this list. So what is it exactly that makes this material so unique? A breathable eucalyptus fiber that's also machine-washable.

x 01 Classic

We bet you didn't know Alo had sneakers. Or maybe you did, because they sold out immediately during their first launch. Regardless, this white tennis sneaker is designed for post-performance recovery, with an extra bouncy sole to support pressure points in the feet, knees, hips, joints and back.

Zoom Fly 5 Running Shoe

Find out how fast you can run with one of the springiest sneakers to grace the game. A carbon fiber plate gives you a propulsive sensation and seamlessly transitioning that's unrivaled by others. Once again, Nike just does it (better).

Superstar Sneaker

For a style that you can dress up or down, we turn to Golden Goose. The brand's soft leather molds to the shape of your feet, and the Superstar model isn't going to weigh you down. And don't worry about scuffing them up because they're meant to look worn. It builds character.

Ultraboost 1.0 Shoe

Comprised partially of ocean plastic, this eco-minded shoe is ideal for everyday wear. The knit upper gives you a sock-like fit, and the cushioning brings ample energy return. The three stripes are here to keep you going 24/7.

TechLoom Pro Sneaker

If you're after a lifestyle sneaker with a barely-there feel, APL brings you the shoe of your dreams. The one piece woven upper molds to the shape of your foot, and weighing under 8oz, it's one of the lightest styles out there.

Capri Sneaker

Remember Koio's leather sneaker that we mentioned you could wear to the office for a casual, yet polished look? Here it is, in all its glory. Complete the navy-on-navy look with a pair of dark slacks.

Glacier Trail Sneaker

We didn't forget about you hikers out there. Canada Goose makes a trail sneaker that is as durable as it gets. Fully waterproof, it can withstand the elements in sleek fashion. The outsole is providing the ultimate grip.
