I remember my dad telling 8-year-old me to put on my Skechers sneakers ahead of a Disneyland trip, and I wanted to wear anything but the chunky tennis shoes. Ironically, athletic trainers are now my favorite footwear due to their max comfort — and lucky for me (and you), Amazon just dropped a fashion storefront full of cloud-like kicks.
The Amazon lineup features more than 100 sneakers from brands like New Balance, Asics, Ryka, and more; you’re sure to find a pair you love thanks to tons of colorways and silhouettes available. I know scrolling through pages of sneakers can quickly become overwhelming, so I’m sharing the five must-have picks I’m adding to my shoe collection as we speak. Keep reading to discover the ultra-comfortable choices (and give your feet a break).
5 Comfy Amazon Sneakers
New Balance Nergize V3 Cross Trainer
Amazon
Try your hand — or, rather, foot — at the dad sneaker trend with New Balance’s Nergize V3 Cross trainers. Not only are they an Amazon best seller, but the kicks come in sizes 5 to 12 including wide options for the perfect fit. Choose from 32 colors and look forward to a plush insole, breathable, mesh upper, and grippy bottom. The flat laces make taking the shoe on and off a breeze, while a slightly flared sole provides stability.
Racking up nearly 3,800 five-star ratings, shoppers can’t get enough of these sneakers. One reviewer called them their “favorite shoe of all time,” while a nurse who works 12 hour shifts gave the New Balance shoes their stamp of approval. Someone even went as far as writing a “love song” to the kicks: “You're my perfect fit, my love, my desire / New Balance Nergize V3, you set my soul on fire,” they wrote.
Asics Gel-Nimbus 25 Running Shoe
Amazon
If you have a thing for celebrity-worn fashion, then you’ll be all about the Asics Gel-Nimbus 25 running shoe. The brand has been worn by actresses and supermodels such as Hailey Bieber, Kaia Gerber, Elsa Hosk, Jennifer Garner, and Reese Witherspoon — and now, you. Complete with a knit upper, springy cushioning, laces, pull tabs, and sturdy sole, this shoe is the real deal. Shop it in 26 hues and sizes 5 to 13.
Style the kicks with sweatpants and a cropped hoodie for a head-on approach, or opt for wide-leg jeans, a bodysuit, and oversized blazer for a trendy office look. You can even pair them with a swing dress heading into spring like Emily Blunt.
Sorel Waterproof Sneaker
Amazon
I’m all about functional fashion products, and this Sorel sneaker meets that criteria. Great for hiking through mushy vegetation and jumping over rain puddles alike, these waterproof kicks keep your feet dry no matter what. You can look forward to a mesh and suede upper, grooved, rubber outsole, and lace-up closure, alongside eight colors and 14 sizes to help you to find your perfect match. Don’t worry about getting these babies dirty, either; pop them in the washer machine for a like new look.
