Spring is in the air, and that could only mean one thing: It's white sneaker season again! Perfect for all kinds of casual outings but just as suitable for dressier occasions, a pristine pair of crisp kicks can take you far—literally. Not only do they pair well with most ensembles, but many just so happen to offer walkable comfort too.

As someone who grew up in a family of mostly men and is a self-proclaimed white sneakerhead, I know a good, reliable men's shoe when I see one. Whether you're on the hunt for a classic, leather everyday option that you can dress up or down effortlessly or looking for a sportier style for runs in the park and pickleball matches, I present to you the 20 best white sneakers I think every man should have in his wardrobe.

Original Achilles Sneaker

There's a reason Common Projects tops this list. A longtime favorite for guys, the sneakers feature a streamlined, minimalist silhouette crafted from the finest Italian leather that looks good no matter how you wear them.

One reviewer says: "Excellent white sneakers that were specifically what I was looking for. Clean, sleek and versatile! Comfortable!"

Campo Sneaker

A little bit sporty, a little bit street, Veja makes some of the coolest and comfiest kicks around. I've been a fan for years and find the insoles offer just the right amount of cushion, while the rubber cupsoles provide reliable traction. Bonus: they're even sustainably made with recycled and organic materials.

One reviewer raves: "Was looking for my new white shoe, these are sporty but also refined enough to be casual chic. I think I need a small insert for my arch if I wear for long durations when hustling through airports, but that’s comparing to my joggers. Very happy and a great value."

Size Range: 40-49

Material: Leather

Colors: Variety

Capri

How much do I love Koio's sneakers? I can go on and on, but I'll keep this brief: I love the clean, no-frills silhouette that just pairs effortlessly with everything. Everything.

One reviewer raves: "The shoes are absolutely amazing and exceeded my expectation, you can clearly tell the quality in the shoe and not to mention they are extremely comfortable... Very subtle, classic, clean and elegant shoe, can’t go wrong. Buy one pair and I’m sure you’ll buy another in the future."

I'll admit: white sneakers do require some babysitting in order to keep them in pristine condition.
