Women's sneakers: the quick guide
Our women's sneakers are made for everyday life rather than the gym: errands, travel, the school run and weekends. Most have leather or suede uppers, a cushioned footbed and a rubber sole, so they look smarter than a running shoe and feel softer than a flat.
Popular picks:
- Clean white sneakers: the Makea Court and Zizi go with jeans, dresses and tailored trousers.
- If you walk a lot: the Mayhill Walk, in black, white or beige.
- A bit of colour: the Meridor Lo and Bryianne Bayla.
- The lightest option: Cloudsteppers styles like the Ezrinn.
White or black?
White sneakers go with almost everything but need a wipe-down every now and then. Black or navy hide marks, look neater at work and are the easier choice if you're hard on your shoes.
Keeping white sneakers white
Wipe leather sneakers with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, then let them air dry away from heat. A protector spray when they're new helps them stay cleaner for longer. Don't put them in the washing machine, because it can damage the leather and loosen the sole.
Sizing
Our sneakers run true to size, and leather gives slightly over the first couple of weeks. If you're between sizes or like thick socks, go up half a size.
