Sure, you can wear sneakers all year round—but there's something about springtime that just calls for a shiny new pair of kicks. Maybe it's because the return of dresses and skirts to the rotation means our ankles are fully released from hibernation, or maybe it's the basic fact that a new season calls for a fresh start. Whatever the cause, the Well+Good editorial team is currently ushering in spring by clicking "add to cart" on sneakers of all types. From cushioned walking sneakers to leather skater shoes, read on to explore the shoes that are putting a spring in our step—literally.

Spring sneaker editor picks, at a glance

New Balance 530 Sneaker

New Balance 530 Sneaker

$100

"I love a sneaker that works for all occasions, AKA walking, light activity, and fashion. 530s are a staple in my wardrobe and I love the light blue and cream combo—it feels extra springy." —Katie Maguire, Senior Director of Commerce

Nike Zoom Vomero 5

Nike Zoom Vomero 5

$160

"My first foray into the chunky 'dad sneaker' trend, and these have been perfect to wear on any occasion. They're athletic enough to wear on long walks or to a workout class yet stylish and on-trend to wear on a casual Sunday to grab coffee." —Celine Newman, Director of Audience Development

Adidas Handball Spezial

Adidas Handball Spezial

$110

"For anyone who tried to get into the Samba trend and found they were too hard to break in (I'm the problem, it's me), the Spezials have been a godsend. They're incredibly comfortable and all the color options are SO FUN. I have the red and pink color and someone compliments me literally every time I step out in them." —Kelsey Kennick, Director of Content Operations

Vionic Monarch Sneaker

Vionic Monarch Sneaker

$140

"I'm usually more of a white sneaker girl, but since I've been trying to add more pops of color to my wardrobe, these shoes from Vionic caught my eye. I love how they are multi-color, so they can go with pretty much any spring outfit, and the cushion and arch support are perfect for everyday wear." —Allison Forsyth, General Assignment Associate Editor

Adidas Y-3 Kaiwa

Adidas Y-3 Kaiwa

$400

"I’m almost a little embarrassed to admit how much I spent on these sneakers, but I wanted something cute and comfortable for a trip to Disney World. The good news: they definitely check the “cute” box and are super comfy—just not walk-10-miles-a-day-at-Disney comfy." —Danny Feekes, Head of Commerce

Soludos Roma Retro Sneaker

Soludos Roma Retro Sneaker

$139

"I keep getting served ads for these Soludos sneakers, so naturally I'm convinced I need them. The Retro Roma style is a little bit skater and a little bit sweet, a combination I really love for spring 'fits. They're made from leather and suede, and come in a variety of color combos—but it's the orthotic insole that's really selling me." —Jamey Powell, Commerce Writer

Tracksmith Eliot Runner

Tracksmith Eliot Runner

$198

"As someone who really loathes having to make room for a pair of running shoes and a pair of casual sneakers, these have become my go-to shoes for weekend trips. They are the perfect blend of street style and running performance. I can wear them from the airport to the gym to all-day touristing, then wake up and run a few miles in them—and feel stylish and comfortable the entire time." —Jen Ator, Contributing Fitness Editor

Salomon Xt-6

Salomon Xt-6

$180

"Do I dare jump on the Salomon sneaker trend? It's one of those sneakers that If I saw on a shelf in-store I would probably pass by, but now that I've seen them out in the real world and at the gym, they have definitely peaked my interest. Plus the slip-on-no-laces style makes them even easier to throw on while running out the door, especially with little ones in tow!" —Celine Newman, Director of Audience Development

Flower Mountain Washi Sneaker

Flower Mountain Washi Sneaker

$258

"Ok I know these are pricey, but they're so unique I think it's worth it. The rugged outsole and sweet, detailed upper makes for a really fun and multi-dimensional silhouette. And the colors? Come on! Plus, they're super lightweight and have a antimicrobial cork footbed to keep stink at bay, perfect for heading into warmer weather." —Powell

Veja Recife Logo Sneaker

Veja Recife Logo Sneaker

$170

"These have been my go-to sneakers for the past two years, and I've worn them absolutely to death. The little platform is extremely comfortable, and the velcro straps are something different that make me feel like a little kid again in the best way ever. I have worn these walking around Europe, running errands, with a cute dress out, or with sweats. I'm literally about to buy a new pair of these in a different color, because that's how obsessed I am." —Khuyen Dinh, Editorial Assistant

Onitsuka Tiger Serrano

Onitsuka Tiger Serrano

$130

"When it comes to my ideal sneakers, they need to be comfortable with great aesthetics. The Onitsuka Tiger has checked these boxes off for years as my everyday go-to pair. Now go enjoy browsing all the colorways your spring wardrobe desires." —Delaney Lamb, Email Marketing Associate

Cariuma IBI Low Knit Sneaker

Cariuma IBI Low Knit Sneaker

$129

"Ever since I got this shoe in pink, I've wanted them in white. The knit material is so comfortable, and the signature Cariuma cork footbed makes them supportive without being clunky. Plus, they're made with sustainable bamboo and recycled plastics, which we love to see." —Powell

Puma Speedcat OG

Puma Speedcat OG

$100

"These Y2K-inspired sneaks are sleek enough to go with any outfit, yet fun enough to make a statement. The only problem is I can't decide what color I like best." —Maguire

Adidas Taekwondo Shoes

Adidas Taekwondo Shoes

$100

"Not-so-hot, hot take: These will be *the* sneakers for spring, or at least mine. There's something so refreshing about a sporty slip-on shoe, and I can't help but keep reaching for the sleek silhouette. If you're thinking about getting the silver, take it from me, you definitely should!" —Lamb
