The sneaker trend is still going strong and we’re thrilled about it! Once confined to the gym, sneakers have become a lifestyle shoe that can go with most casual daytime looks. From running to the grocery store to an outing with friends, these styles are our favourite looks for the season. Pair them with ankle jeans, shorts, t-shirt dresses, and maxi dresses to stay on trend for spring and summer!
Lacoste Carnaby EVO Metallic ($140 at Lacoste): The slim profile with a subtle metallic colour gives a polished look that goes perfectly with a pair of ankle length jeans. Feminine and versatile. If you’re just starting out and wanting that one comfortable and simple white sneaker, check out Lacoste L12.12 Canvas style sneaker—it literally goes with everything.
RON WHITE Layton sneaker ($395 at Ron White Shoes): Ribbon and thicker ties are all the rage this season and while there are more exaggerated styles out there, we’re more comfortable with this luxurious sneaker that subtly nods to the trend. The hint of metallic is great if you want to add a bit of shimmer.
Stan Smith Adidas Cutouts ($130 CDN at adidas.com): This iconic style is the first-ever tennis shoe. Introduced in the 70s, the line has gone from the court to the streets. This cutout style offers an edgier look.
KEDS x Rifle Paper Co. Triple Decker Lively Floral (approx $70 CDN at Get Outside Shoes) We can’t get enough of this beautiful collaboration! The prints are so pretty on these platform slip-ons! We can see this with an easy tee dress, shorts, jeans. . .okay, everything.
ADIDAS NMD_R1 (approx. $170 CDN at Footaction): NMDs pay tribute to Adidas’ collective memory while experimenting with new shapes, angles and materials. The “Boost” offers unrivalled cushioning that we’ve had on our feet. It also has a breathable mesh lining and comes with reflected laces.
TOMS Avalon Sneaker Coated Canvas (approx. $70 CDN at Get Outside Shoes): This black coated canvas women’s slip-on sneaker offers comfort and stability. It also has a removable, antimicrobial sock liner. Bonus! It’s vegan. And as always with TOMS, every pair of shoes you purchase, the company will donate a pair of new shoes to a child in need for their One for One program!
SAUCONY Jazz O Cozy ($120 CDN at saucony.com): This classic style blends comfort and style for the days you’re feeling like you need a big hug. Made with a soft jersey material but with a shock-absorbing midsole to give you the best of both worlds.
VANS x MLB authentic in Toronto Blue Jays ($75 CDN at Get Outside Shoes): Part of the official collaboration, this style combines the original and iconic low top style with a fun Blue Jays print. Great for kicking around at the game or weekend getaways to the cottage. Maybe it’s our lucky shoe? Go Jays Go!
KEEN Elsa Sneaker (approx $100 CDN at Keen Shoes online): Perfect for running errands or touring the city, this cut canvas sneaker is designed to suit busy lifestyles and offers flexible comfort.
