25 Best White Sneakers for Women – Leather and Canvas White Sneakers

One of my absolute must-have wardrobe staples is a classic pair of white sneakers. I love styling them with jeans, summery dresses, shorts, jumpsuits, and loungewear—they pretty much go with everything. Plus, they’re the ideal travel shoe to pack for trips that require a lot of walking.

But finding the “perfect” white sneaker is no easy task (and you KNOW I’m picky when it comes to shoes.)

Some feel too childish; others make your feet look too big (or too small); and worst of all—some are downright uncomfortable.

Below, you’ll find a selection of the best white sneakers for women—some of these I personally own (Stan Smiths FOR LIFE!) and others are styles that have high ratings or were recommended by friends.

p.s. If you’re into chunky white sneakers, we have an entire post dedicated to our favorites!

The Best White Sneakers for Women

For the ultimate classic look, these Sam Edelman sneakers are a perfect pick. They’re made with super soft leather (that’s easy to wipe smudges off of) and they’re supportive enough to wear while standing or walking for long periods of time.

These Tory Burch sneakers come in five different color variations (all with white bases!) and have over 100 five-star reviews. I love the navy blue heel detail on this pair, but they also come in plain white if that’s more your thing.

PRO TIP: If you’re looking for the perfect white ankle sock to wear with your white sneaks, these Bombas are the ones I swear by. I haven’t bought socks from another brand since I tried them. And if you prefer a no-show sock, these are the ones I highly recommend! They don’t slide down—EVER—and they fit like a glove.

This classic pair of kicks from Soludos is a fan favorite, and undoubtedly among the brand’s most popular. Soludos die-hards praise the style for being both fashionable and easy to walk in for long periods of time.

One reviewer stated “I had been on the hunt for the perfect versatile white leather sneakers for a while and was weary of ordering these online without trying them on, but so glad I did. They are EXTREMELY comfortable and do not dig into my heels like other brands of leather sneakers. Also very true to size. 5 stars!”

Few brands can boast the cult following that AllBirds has amassed in just a few years. Men and women alike swear by their signature machine washable sneakers, known for their breathability and ease.

Allbirds Wool Runner Sneakers

When I recently asked my Facebook group for recommendations on the most comfortable shoes for standing all day, AllBirds won in a landslide.

My mom recently bought these and says they’re amazing. I love the combo of neutral colors and that the heel is chunky. If you’re into chunky white sneakers, we have an entire post dedicated to our favorites!

Madewell Kickoff Trainer Sneakers

I’ve recommended this sneaker to countless friends—it’s the perfect “goes with everything” shoe that won’t break the bank and will never go out of style. The Italian brand has been making this exact style since 1911 (!) and they remain as relevant today as they were back then.

Superga 2750 Cotu Classic Sneaker

After having my eyes on a pair of APLs for years, I finally pulled the trigger on the Techloom wave—and I’m SO happy I did. These white slip-on sneakers literally feel like walking on clouds. They’re hands down the most comfortable pair of sneakers that I own.

They describe the material as “high-elastic 3D stretch rebound TechLoom”—which, I’m guessing, is a fancy way of saying that the fabric molds to your foot and stretches, without stretching out.

These definitely aren’t the cheapest pair of white sneakers on the list, but based on my experience so far, they seem worth every penny.

You can’t go wrong with a classic pair of converse Chuck Taylors. The nice thing about these is that even if you get them dirty, you can throw them into the laundry with a bit of bleach and detergent and they’ll come out looking like new.

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Sneakers in White Monochrome

I first heard of this brand after Meghan Markle was famously photographed wearing a pair of them with Prince Harry. They’ve since skyrocketed in popularity (and rightfully so.)

Veja Esplar Low Sneakers

While the lace up version is definitely the most popular, Veja also makes a super comfortable Slip On Leather Sneaker for women that has three velcro straps.

Few brands can boast the cult following that AllBirds has amassed in just a few years. Men and women alike swear by their signature machine washable sneakers, known for their breathability and ease.

Allbirds Wool Runner Sneakers

When I recently asked my Facebook group for recommendations on the most comfortable shoes for standing all day, AllBirds won in a landslide.

This Italian sneaker brand seems to be EVERYWHERE lately—and even those who’ve questioned the idea of paying $600 for a pair of sneakers became believers after buying a pair.

Golden Goose Super-Star Low Top Sneaker

These Adidas sneakers are known for being lightweight and wildly comfortable. Made with a soft and flexible knit (that’s super breathable), you may never want to take them off.

Adidas NMD_R1 Shoes

Do these not bring back memories from you childhood? I can’t believe the exact same style we wore as kids are still around—and honestly cuter than ever.

Keds ‘Champion’ Cotton Sneaker

I’ve been loyal to my Stan Smiths for YEARS—and to be honest, I wasn’t sure if I was the “type” that could pull them off. However, once I slipped them on, I changed my mind. These are a no brainer.

They’re SO comfortable and look equally cute with jeans as they do with a minidress. Plus, if you have big feet, Stan Smiths will definitely make them look more petite.

adidas Originals Stan Smith Sneaker

I’m considering getting this pair with really cute gold accents, which feels like the perfect white sneaker for summer.

These no-frills classic Nike low-tops have a cute but sporty vibe. My mom actually just bought them after trying out a number of the sneakers on this list, and she says that they were the best purchase ever.

Nike Court Vision Low Sneaker

Ecco is a brand that’s synonymous with comfort and well-made footwear. These are a great option for women looking for a classic leather sneaker that’s sophisticated and not overly trendy.

Ecco Soft 7 Sneaker

I’ll admit that I didn’t totally understand the obsession with Common Projects until my husband bought a pair—and now I get it. These are so well-made, they honestly are worth every penny.

Common Projects Original Achilles Sneaker

Sporty with a slight platform, these low tops by Puma are super comfortable and great for traveling. While I haven’t tried them on myself, based off of these glowing reviews, they seem like a winner.

One reviewer stated “I bought these before a trip and they were comfortable right out of the box. I wore them with jeans and shorts and liked them with both. I have wide, flat feet that hurt me a lot of the time, but these worked well for me.”

Puma Cali Sneaker

For fashion-y types, these Chloe sneakers are like the under-the-radar answer to the Guccis and Golden Goose.

Chloé Lauren Sneaker

To be honest, I didn’t even think Dr. Scholl’s made cute kicks, but these are kind of adorable? I haven’t personally tried them myself, but I would imagine these are hands-down the most comfortable on the list.

Dr. Scholl’s Time Off Platform Sneaker

I feel like this is the perfect minimalist white sneaker for those who want a high quality shoe that goes with every outfit. The reviews across multiple retailer websites are universally positive.

One reviewer noted “Believe the reviews…they are just great. This shoe is flattering to the ankle, a sleek simple cut…and the simplicity of the color, and (lack of) a showy logo makes them SO versatile and sophisticated. Will get so much use out of these. They are true to size.”

Frye Ivy Low Lace Sneakers

I’d never heard of this brand until I stumbled upon it on ShopBop, but I think I might need to buy these…

Axel Arigato Clean 90 Sneaker

A good pair of slip-on sneakers is a closet staple, especially during the warmer months. These have perforated leather for extra breathability.

Vince Slip-On Sneaker

I can not say enough good things about these sneakers. I own them and have been wearing them consistently for over a year—they’re made in the same Italian factory that Chanel makes all of it’s footwear. Need I say more?

Koio Capri granite perforated sneakers

I haven’t yet pulled the trigger on these but I’ve definitely been tempted. There’s something super preppy and chic about a Gucci sneaker, don’t you think?

Gucci New Ace Sneakers

Classic Vans have been around for ages, but this platform style makes them feel a bit more modern and youthful. The best part? They’ll give you about 1.5 inches of extra height.
