Best Sneakers for Women in 2023
Best Everyday Shoe - Tree Runner by Allbirds
Allbirds launched in 2016 and have quickly taken over the streets of New York. They are the perfect lightweight sneaker for everyday use. Allbirds are sustainable – made from a variety of resources including plant leather, eucalyptus tree fibers, and castor bean oil to name a few. All of their shoelaces are men made from recycled plastic bottles! If you aren’t so hyped up by sustainability, that’s OK. Other great features include being made with merino wool helps keep your foot cool and the sneakers are machine washable! Allbirds offers a variety of styles, but the Best of the Best is their Tree Runners. The best part – they make tree runners from both men and women!
I’m OBSESSED with their Kalkoura White (White) and Mist (Grey) colored Tree Runners! I wear my white ones to run errands and grey ones for light hiking! I’ve also worn these for HOURS at an amusement park in the hot summer without any pain or sweaty feet! Also, you don’t have to wear socks with these sneakers at all, but I personally just can’t go sockless in shoes! If you are looking for the perfect no-show socks to wear with your AllBirds, you have to try these no-show socks!
Pro-Tip – Allbirds doesn’t make half sizes so be sure to size up if you are between sizes!
Best Casual Sneakers for Women - ON Roger Advantage
ON Running was created by runners who felt like the running industry deserved better shoes. While I personally can’t speak to their running shoes, I LOVE the ON RODGER Advantage sneakers. These are low-top sneakers created in conjunction with tennis star Roger Federer. These shoes are truly SO COMFORTABLE for everyday use and actually look cute with jeans! I am anti-jeans and sneakers unless they are low-top, then it’s acceptable.
Overall the shoes are lightweight and easy to slip on and off. The soles are extremely comfortable and you don’t feel like you’re touching the ground in them. I promise this will easily become your favorite everyday casual sneaker, perfect for work, running errands, and enjoying your day at a brewery. These casual sneakers for women also come in men’s as well!
Best Running Shoe for Low Arches - Asics GT-2000
The Asics GT-2000 has been around for many years and each year the design gets better and better! If you are somebody with flat feet, this running shoe with provide all of the support you are looking for without feeling big and clunky. These shoes are relatively lightweight with enough room throughout the toe box for your feet to slightly swell as you run for longer distances. If the GT-2000s aren’t your favorites, don’t worry, Asics makes some of the BEST running shoes for women on the market and has plenty of other options to suit your foot!
Pro-Tip – if you are getting black toenails while you run, be sure to size up a half size! This means that there isn’t enough room in the front of your shoe and your foot is smashing into the front with every stride. Most runners will size up a half-size to allow enough room for their foot to swell and move while running!

Best HIIT Shoes - Nike Metcon 4
I know you’re thinking why can’t I just wear the same shoe for gym and running? While it would be the dream to find shoes for the gym and running, it’s not realistic. You should have shoes specific for running because you wear them out differently while you run compared to other activities. If you are using them for other workouts or walking too, you’re going to have to change out your running shoes more frequently to avoid injury.
So what shoe is great for working out you might ask? The Nike Metcon 4 was designed specifically for Metabolic training. They have a thicker heal while letting your toes rest closer to the ground with a supported mid-foot which makes them perfect for your HIIT workouts and agility training. These workout sneakers for women come in a variety of fun colors to spice up your workout outfit too! The Nike Metcons are also available in Mens!
Pro-Tip – these run a tad smaller than other sneakers so be sure to size cup a half-size to ensure enough room for your toes when working out!

If you have wide feet too, you know how difficult it is to find shoes that actually fit and feel good. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! We found that the best sneaker for wide feet overall is the ASICS Gel-Kayano 27. This shoe comes podiatrist recommended and has the support and stability to feel good while wearing for longer periods of time. The bonus is that they are actually running shoes!
