Best Suede Shoes

Customer Review: "On my 3rd pair I use them for driving and everything else. They are very light and contour to your foot. They hold up to the washing machine also!"

Size Range: 4 to 14 women's

Material: Suede

Pros: Ultra-trendy and celebrity stamp of approval

Cons: Suede may scuff easier in lighter colors.

15. Vans Classic Slip-On

These timeless slip-on shoes from Vans have been cult-favorites since the Tumblr fashion days, with street style stars and boybands alike sporting the minimalist, lace-free silhouette. Van's durable canvas makes this pair a perfect choice for high-intensity walking or other activities (like biking or skateboarding) where you'll need a pair of sneakers with a durable lining and thick rubber sole to withstand impact.

Best Slip-On Shoes

Customer Review: "These are the shoes I have been searching for my entire life. Little did I know they were right under my nose. I'd always seen them and passed them up. The older I get, the lazier I get. No laces?! Sign me up! These are comfy. I have slightly wide feet and these really fit the bill in terms of not being too squished for my poor little feet. They are cute, go with everything, and are great every day shoe. No complaints thus far. I will continue to repurchase when these die."

Size Range: 5 to 17.5 women's

Material: Canvas

Pros: Great for wider feet

Cons: Longer break-in time than other sneakers

How to Clean White Sneakers

To clean white sneakers, start by removing the laces and giving them a quick wipe to remove any surface dirt. Mix warm water with a small amount of mild detergent or baking soda to create a gentle cleaning solution. Use a soft brush or an old toothbrush to scrub the sneakers, focusing on any stains or scuff marks. After cleaning, wipe the sneakers down with a damp cloth to remove any soap residue, then stuff them with paper towels to help them keep their shape while drying. Allow the sneakers to air dry in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent any yellowing.

How to Style White Sneakers

The great thing about white sneakers is that the styling options are limitless. If you want to try something different than your go-to jeans-and-tee look, I have a few suggestions. You could try pairing the shoes with all-white pieces for a monochrome look, style them with a moto jacket and cargo pants for a sporty vibe, or wear them with your favorite office-ready blazer and trousers. You simply can't go wrong.
