Let us hearken back to those elementary school days when putting on shoes was as easy as sliding into a pair and rolling out the door. It's not that you don't have the time to lace up your sneakers; it's just that you'd rather not on some days. Not to mention, the laceless sneakers trend looks cool as hell. To help you jump-start your shopping, we've rounded up a versatile range of our favorite lace-free athletic shoes. May your future be full of breezy footwear and nice, sweaty workouts!
We're really digging these lightweight, colorful slip-on sneakers from Vionic ($100). They come in navy (with green details) and black (with pink details) and were designed with Orthaheel technology to absorb shock and relieve joint pain.
What's not to love about the wing-esque design on these Round-Toe Slip-On Sneakers ($145)? They're a collaboration between Alexander McQueen and Puma, so you know they're good.
Give off Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century vibes in Tod's Embellished Fringed Metallic Leather Slip-On Sneakers ($258, originally $645), our splurge-y pick of the day.
For max comfort, try Adidas UltraBOOST Laceless Running Sneakers ($200). They feature a sock-like collar, a ribbed upper for flexibility, BOOST midsoles to improve your run time, and the prettiest hue.
Channel your inner Dorothy with these Maddox Fast Track Trainers ($260). Bonus: you can customize them with your initials, too.
Laceless atheleticwear? Yeah, Michael Kors does that, too. These grayscale leather sneakers ($166) feature the MK logo and are treadmill-approved.
You'll definitely be sweating in style with Adidas's popular NMD CS2 PK ($180). It boasts a kimono neckline, textured Primeknit upper, and boost sole.
Velcro? Hell yes. New Balance brings us back to third-grade style with these Hook and Loop sneakers ($57, originally $70).
These Ignite Dual Disc Sneakers by Puma ($86, originally $120) may very well inspire your next big race.
For those who prefer the look of laces but don't want to bother with tying them up, Ryka Women's Halo Slip On Walking Shoe ($57) is a great option.
For something similar to the Ryka "no-lace lace look" — but with a holographic spin — try New Balance's Fuel Core Coast v3 Lightweight Running Shoe ($60).
