Running sneakers provide the ultimate wearing experience, because they are designed to provide optimal support for the soles of your feet. Get the best of comfort and design with these sleek runners.

Wear with: Softer silhouettes work with with these sneakers. Try a pleated midi skirt with a fitted blouse, or a pair of wide-legged pants with a thin pullover.

Save yourself the hassle of having to deal with your shoelaces, and head straight for a pair of slip-on sneakers instead. They are just as comfortable, and they require very little fuss. Plus, there’s more surface area for interesting textures, so try looking for embroidered shoes or floral patterns.

Wear with: A languid suit, or a geek-chic style dress.

If you don’t already have a pair of white sneakers in your closet, you are seriously missing out on the style perks they can give you. Comfort aside (because they are seriously comfy), they are versatile pieces that can work with just about anything you throw on.

Wear with: A checkered pair of pants, a floral dress or even a metallic skirt.

The opposite of white sneakers? Throw on some colourful kicks and inject some fun into your workwear without thinking too hard! This season’s colourful kicks feature a strong leaning towards colour blocking, but you can also work in some texture with random paint splatters.

Wear with: A chic black dress, a grey suit or even a camel-coloured pair of pants.

Metallic sneakers may sound a bit out there, but hear us out. They actually make for good workwear sneakers if you’re in a less formal environment, and they can help add the drama and fun that your outfit might need, so you don’t have to try too hard with everything else. Throw it on with a tired-looking dress and pull your hair back into a bun and you’re all set.

Wear with: Your go-to LBD, or jeans for Casual Friday.

If you find white sneakers to be too clinical looking, try a soft shade of pink instead.
