It's common knowledge that sneakers go beyond the realm of workout gear. They're a staple in our day-to-day wardrobes that make for stylish and comfortable walking shoes [1]. But unlike boots [2] or summer sandals, sneakers are a versatile year-round option that complement various outfits. For instance, nothing gives a slip dress a smart-casual twist quite like a pair of crisp white sneakers. And that's just one example of how to style them; a quick search on Pinterest will easily yield hundreds of ensembles worth screenshotting and recreating ASAP.
From chunky-soled designs that will elevate your look to practical, everyday must-haves, Amazon has a wide selection of sneakers [3] worth upgrading your collection with. From maxi dresses to denim cutoffs, they will quickly become best friends with the clothes you like to wear every day. Keep scrolling to shop our 15 favorite pairs of sneakers from Amazon that are equal parts trendy and timeless, including, but certainly not limited to, picks from Adidas, Converse, and New Balance — all at a wide range of price points.
