10 Sneakers We’re Loving for Winter

Being active shouldn’t mean sacrificing style. These Ghost Max SE suede running shoes are perfectly cushioned for all-day comfort. They come in two light colors that pair just as well with leggings and a sweater as they do with jeans and a puffer. One editor paired her own pair of Brooks with her daily gym sessions. Throw these on to run laps, run errands, or run home to binge-watch your feel-good shows. ($160, Brooks)

Don’t let your footwear stand in the way of a night out. These suede and leather sneakers have thick, cushioned midsoles that give you just enough lift while keeping your feet supported. They have a sleek, minimalist design and a wide range of colors so you can find the perfect accent to your wintery day-to-night outfit. ($150, FitFlop)

These are perfect for year-round and even though they’re lightweight, our editors claim they still keep their feet warm enough for winter workouts. They have a breathable mesh upper and come in 12 colors and two sizing options, including one for wide feet. They even have reflective panels, which are perfect for days when it’s dark by the afternoon. These shoes? Definitely made for walking. ($145, Free People)

If you’re traveling to a walkable city, we recommend throwing a pair of these lace-ups to your suitcase. They’re extremely lightweight so they’re easy to tote around, plus they have an anti-odor footbed that will help keep everything around them smelling fresh. Customers say they take almost zero time to break in so they’re ready for the gym, the park, or a night out whenever you are. ($129, L.L.Bean) 

We can’t all afford to store our shoes in the oven à la Carrie Bradshaw, which is why we’re big fans of any and all hybrid-style shoes to help cut our collection in half. These are part sneaker, part snow boot, and 100% comfortable. They’re waterproof, which makes them a great choice for trudging through the snow or sleet. ($150, Merrell) 

Being caught in the winter rain = the worst feeling. With this high-top pair from Allbirds, you can rest assured that your feet will stay dry and warm. They’re water-repellent, have a no-slip natural rubber grip, and are lined in the brand’s classic fluff. Plus, they’re made of sustainable materials. ($72, Allbirds)

Your favorite pair of Chucks are ready for the cold. This khaki-colored pair has a chunky rubber sole and durable suede. Plus, it has a fleece lining that’ll keep your toes extra warm. Add a pair of comfy socks and you’re good to go. ($31.50, Shopbop)

If “Singing in the Rain” were filmed today, we can imagine the leads in these waterproof Uggs. These shoes have a seam-sealed, waterproof leather design on the outside, and a cozy, upcycled wool lining on the inside. We especially love that they’re slip-on, so they’re easy to put on and take off. ($160, Ugg)  

We get it, sometimes black-on-black just makes sense for those dark, wintry days. But that doesn’t mean you can’t add a pair of festive earrings, a knitted scarf, or colorful shoes for a pop of color. These Steve Madden platform sneakers definitely fit the bill, thanks to their bright red or green colorways (festive, we know). Their thick sole makes them extra comfy, and the suede and leather material keeps them looking sleek and elevated. ($70, Urban Outfitters) 

Move over Sambas, there’s a new viral sneaker in town. Adidas’ SL 72s have been taking over our feeds for a few weeks now and they’re finally back in stock. We love the look of their ‘70s-inspired design and the retro color combos they come in. If you’re looking for winter-friendly casual sneakers to replace your summery white ones, look no further.
