I’m a sneaker snob; I’m not afraid to say it because I’ve tested my fair share of tennis shoes to earn the title. So, whether I’m dishing on the best white tennis shoes for summer, or the trainers Reese Witherspoon can’t quit wearing, I know what I’m talking about. Therefore, giving my stamp of approval on the Cariuma Oca Low sneaker is no small feat.
The irresistibly comfy sneaker comes from a Brooke Shields and Alexandra Daddario-worn brand, amassing a large roster of fans. It officially made the top of my list when I wore the canvas version all over New York City. I took them straight out of the box and hit the busy streets; after walking miles, I didn’t get a single blister, proving they require zero break-in time.

Since then, I’ve snagged the elevated, buttery-soft leather option, which adds elegance to any sporty-chic ensemble. As if I couldn’t fall more in love with a tennis shoe, I basically live in the do-it-all sneaker, constantly recommending it to friends, family, and even strangers.

It’s all thanks to the high-quality materials used in both versions. A 100-percent vegan cork insole adds bounce to each step, enveloping your foot in a cloud-like hug. A durable cap toe prevents early signs of wear-and-tear, while a slip-resistant sole makes sure each step is sturdy and secure. There’s also no loud brand names in your face; instead, a small logo flag is discreetly stitched onto the side of the shoe.

Because of how functional and stylish the Cariuma Oca Low Sneaker is, you’ll be tempted to wear it in the most daunting environments; think dirt roads, tall grass fields, or packed sidewalks during rush hour. The good news is, the canvas can easily be thrown into the wash if it gets a bit gunky, while the leather version can be wiped clean. Of course, you’ll still want to treat them relatively well, but it’s good to know that there’s a backup plan in order.
I prefer to style my Cariuma kicks with kick-out crop jeans from Madewell and a simple red tank from Khy; though, they can be dressed up just as easily with a nautical-inspired dress from J.Crew or a ruffle-sleeve top from Hill House Home. Because of the shoe's versatile silhouette, confidently wear it to summer BBQs, in-office days, Sunday brunch, yacht parties, and everything in between.
