Best White Sneakers
Table Of Contents
Travel Fashion Girl help! A reader asks:
Help! I’m trying to find some basic white sneakers I can wear with anything (dresses, jeans, etc.) that are comfortable as well, with a wide enough toe box that my feet aren’t squished. I bought some Stan Smith Boost shoes but aren’t sure if those are “the ones.” Most of the styles I’ve tried so far are either super-narrow or have no arch support whatsoever. A girl can only make (and return) so many Zappos orders. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!
Finding the perfect pair of shoes to add to your travel capsule wardrobe can seem impossible at times. Sometimes they’re stylish but not comfortable. Or comfy but unattractive. We asked our readers and they shared their picks for the best white sneakers.
Tip: Packing cubes make the perfect shoe bags to protect your luggage from dirty shoes.
Taos Star Sneaker
Rated as a top travel shoe by USA today, the Taos Star has stellar style. With a lace-up closure, rubber outsole, and soft textile lining, you can be sure of having a flexible fit with traction for various landscapes.
The washed canvas leather and removable footbed makes these easy to wash and keep them clean. It’s important to note that these run small, so you’ll want to size up at least half a size.
One reader shared, “Taos are awesome. They’re comfy and have great support. My feet were never tired after a day in them.” Sounds like some of the best white sneakers for travel to us! Buy it here!
Vionic Midi Perforated Slip-on Sneaker
Vionic Perforated Slip-On Sneaker
We’re big fans of Vionic shoes, and these are no exception. The slip-on style is a great alternative for when you don’t want to wear a shoe with laces. The geometric perforations make them so breathable, and add texture and dimension to a classic and sporty slip-on style.
This style has a generously cushioned footbed and a grippy cupsole, so your feet stay comfortable and in place while walking. As one reader says, “Vionic has a pair of perforated white sneakers I’ve had my eye on. The most comfortable sneakers I’ve ever worn are from Vionic.” Buy it here!
Cloudfoam Advantage Fashion Sneaker
Adidas Advantage
It seems like Adidas Stan Smith sneakers have been everywhere! From Europe to North America and just about anywhere in between, these are the classic travel shoe of the moment.
They’ve definitely made a come back over the past year and have peaked the interest in white sneakers for travel and for everyday use.
You can say they’re the originator of the trend and have inspired this post on the best white sneakers for travel so we definitely couldn’t leave this trendy shoe off the list! However, if you want more comfort, the Advantage sneakers featured above boast having cushiony cloudfoam that gives an amazing step-in feel. Buy it here!
FitFlop Sporty Lace-Up Sneaker
FitFlop Sporty Lace-Up Sneaker
We’ve talked about FitFlops before, but usually we’re mentioning their amazing sandals. However, they also make a great pair of sneakers.
The Sporty Lace-Up features ANATOMICUSH™ technology, which is designed with a single-density layer of anatomically curved cushioning for superior comfort. With a soft and breathable cotton lining and insulated footbed, these shoes will keep your feet dry and warm.
One reader says these are the best white sneakers for travel, sharing, “The most comfortable and supportive of this kind of shoe I have ever tried on or owned. Just wore the suede version for a 6 day conference (at least 11,000 steps a day) with no problem, and I am having foot surgery next week!” Buy it here!
Superga Cotu Sneaker
If you’re a reader of Travel Fashion Girl, you know how much we love Supergas. They definitely get our vote for the best white sneakers for travel but only if you do not suffer from foot issues as they offer zero support. They’re most recommended for minimal to moderate walking such as leisurely seaside or cruise vacations.
One reader says, “I love my Supergas. They match everything,” and another added, “These are very comfortable.” These shoes are also great for people with wide people. One reader shared, “I have a wide toe box and the Supergas had plenty of room.” Buy it here!

Naturalizer Morrison Sneaker
Naturalizer is known for making shoes with comfortable features and a great fit, and these Morrison sneakers are no exception.
Their N5 Contour technology features dual-density cushioning on a patented contoured footbed with arch support. Along with a lightly cushioned tongue and collar, the shoes are made with lightweight and breathable materials for superior comfort and support.
We love the color accent on these shoes, too, and several readers agree. One said, “for what it’s worth, I think I may have found ‘the ones!’
These shoes from Naturalizer have a cushioned footbed and come in a variety of sizes and widths for hard-to-fit feet like mine. At first, I didn’t like the tan with the white, but it’s growing on me–I think it helps prevent the shoe from looking too orthopedic.” Buy it here!
Ecco Soft VII
This Ecco Soft VII Fashion Sneaker keeps your feet cool with their comfort fibre system. Stylish and comfortable, these long-laced trainers have a contrasting sole and are crafted for a great fit, making them an optimal walking shoe.
One reader has a pair in multiple colors, saying, “I have this shoe in another color and wanted the gray/black for winter. The shoe has great arch support and cushioning under the ball of the foot.” Buy it here!
Monterey Standard Fashion Sneaker
SeaVees Monterey Sneaker
Like Supergas, SeaVees offer a great mix of style and comfort. These shoes feature a superior custom contoured, perforated footbed lined in cotton canvas.
The dual compound rubber outsole provides cushioning so you can walk all day long without feeling any pain in your feet. The outsole also provides maximum grip, so you won’t slip and slide on uneven terrain, and the long-lasting wearability means you can take them around the world with you.
Several readers recommended SeaVees. One reader said, “I am a fan of Seavees. Just ordered a lace up. I have the slip on ones and love them and they have a good arch support.” Another reader chimed in, “I’m a fan of my SeaVees,” with another adding, “I am sold on SeaVees. Buy it here!
Converse All Star Dainty Ox Sneakers
Converse Classic Chuck Taylor
Most people have owned Converse at some point and that’s because they’re a classic sneaker. They go with everything including leggings and a tunic or dress. Wear them with a skinny jean (rolled) or a jogger, and you’ll look super trendy cute but age appropriate.
For traveling, add an insole for extra support. They do need to be broken in, and they aren’t ideal for women that need arch support or have back issues. For leather white sneakers, clean them with a washcloth (or baby wipes) and hair conditioner – just the cheap kind from a hotel. Dab on the cloth and wipe to condition the leather while cleaning any mud off the shoes. Buy it here!
Cole Haan Grand Crosscourt II Sneaker
Cole Haan Grand Crosscourt
Made from classic leather with a cushioned footbed, this Cole Haan Grand Crosscourt II Sneaker is very lightweight and fashionable, sporting a sleek and stylish design. Rubber pods are placed strategically in the outsole for great traction and walkability.
One reader says these are one of the most comfortable white sneakers, sharing, “It is so light that I really enjoyed it in every way!” Buy it here!

Dr. Scholl’s Massaging Gel Insoles
Don’t Forget About Gel Inserts!
You can create a soft and comfortable fit in many white sneakers by adding your own padding. Whether they’re boots, heels, flats, or sneakers, add a padded insole to massively increase your comfort.
Even during long promotional modeling gigs where I was required to wear high heels, I survived with specialty insoles for heels like these. For most other closed shoes, like cute black flats, I use a style like these. You can also find a large variety of insoles to meet your needs on Amazon.

We are going to Almalfi Coast first, then Tuscany area, Cinque Terre and back to Rome
all after September 5th. Is it still appropriate to wear white sneakers after “labour day”
Hi Dar, my biggest piece of advice when choosing what shoes to pack is to choose function over fashion. The last thing you want is to allow pulsing, injured, or tired feet prevent you from enjoying the trip of a lifetime. White sneakers are very popular in Europe at the moment and the rule of not wearing white after labour day is not practically practiced in Europe. So if you white sneakers are comfy then would be a great option to pack. For more tips to help you with your packing, check out our 10 step guide to Italy: https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/10-step-packing-guides/10-step-packing-guide-italy/ I would also highly recommend that you join our TFG facebook group and post your question there about sneakers for Italy: https://www.facebook.com/groups/travelfashiongirls/ Its a fabulous community of helpful female travelers that have the best advice and recommendations to share. Hope this helps. Have an incredible trip! 😃
I do have foot problems (RA) and burning on the soles of my feet. The best shoes for me have always featured cork soles. Very hard to find in a flat shoe or sandal. (btw Vionic slip-ons are too wide – I have a narrow heel and I walk right out of the shoe.)
Hi Susan, thank you for taking the time to share this with us. Happy travels! 😃
Yikes. I commented earlier but I was referring to the Pier View sneakers. They are everything.
Hi Eboni, thank you for sharing your favorite pair of white sneakers with, always love reading about our readers favorite brands and products! Happy travels!
I find the best white sneakers are Skechers. They have great arch support and memory foam and look good. I wear them everyday at home and travelling. My favourites are the ‘On-the-Go’ but they are hard to find. They seem to have been replaced with their street style but these are not as comfortable.
I am going to France for 2 months in July and was thinking of only taking sneakers and flip flops (Aussies call them thongs) and wearing ankle boots but it is summer and wondering if I’ll wear the boots other than getting there and getting home. I don’t wear sandals as I don’t like my feet exposed to dirt. The thongs I mainly wear indoors.
Hi Pauline, thank you so much for sharing your great review of Skechers white sneakers! For more ideas about what to pack for France in the summer, have a look at these TFG posts: https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/packing-for-paris-the-ultimate-summer-style-guide/ https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/what-to-pack-for-france/ Hope these help. Have a fantastic time during your trip to France! 🙂
Hi, I’m one of your blog readers, and right now I’m having a little trouble in choosing what kind of shoe should i bring to my trip. I really like white sneakers, but I’m afraid if i use my white sneakers, it would get dirty. And I’m kind of person that only bring one shoe for my trip. So could you recommend me about what kind of shoe that i should bring? Shoe that could fit in any kind of outfit.

Nice informative post about white sneakers, I bought a pair of OTBT Normcore white sneakers (https://www.otbtshoes.com/products/normcore-white-otbt) for myself a few months back. They are also very comfortable and don’t make me feel tired even after walking in them the whole day. Also, I am in love with their looks.
Great tip!
Birkenstock sells a fabulous white sneaker in leather or canvas. It has an ample toe box and the cork footbed insole with good support. They go with everything! They are an investment for your feet. I highly recommend them!
Great tip Barb!
