Your Search for the Most Comfortable White Sneakers Ends Here

Every capsule shoe collection needs a few key styles in order for it to be truly complete. A good pair of boots to weather the colder seasons, comfortable walking sandals for warmer days, and dress shoes for formal fetes are among the many that make the cut. Another absolute essential that need not be overlooked? The LBD of shoes, otherwise known as, white sneakers.

As a shopping editor and sneakerhead, I have very strong opinions about white sneakers. First and foremost, they need to be comfortable. I'm talking comfortable enough to handle a day's worth of walking in Disney World (IYKYK) without pinching your toes or causing blisters. Secondly, they should offer arch support or shock absorption to prevent the balls of your feet and muscles from aching. Also important, but not a deal breaker, the white sneakers you buy should be easy to clean... because a fresh pair of kicks that always looks brand spanking new is always a plus.

Nowadays, the white sneaker options are vaster than ever, ranging from unisex leather styles (the OG versatile option!) to canvas tennis shoes to sporty silhouettes that go from workout to hangout with ease. Because shopping for the perfect pair on the internet can be very hit or miss, my feet did some some heavy testing so yours don't. Ahead, the most comfortable white sneakers around.

Esplar Logo Leather Low-Top Sneakers

I rest my case.
