I’m on the hunt for what I’d call athleisure sneakers. Something I can wear every day but probably not to do any high impact workouts in. Bonus points if I *can* work out in them. But I envision these as mostly “nice” sneakers.
I’ve been looking at Allbirds but want to see what else is out there.
What do you have and love? Show us!

I like Nike’s Flyknit shoes that have laces for show but just stretch on.
I used to wear the Juvenate style but it was discontinued and my four pairs are looking rough.

I am moving on to my second pair of Adiddas Cloud Foam.
I want AllBirds but the Addidas Cloud Foams are quite cute and quite a bit cheaper.

Adidas cloud foams are my favorites. I had a pair that I walked the dog 3-5 miles in daily and they held up well for a few years. I finally gave in a replaced them when the tread was completely gone.
I have running specific shoes but they are comfortable enough that I could run in them if I wanted to.

I got these for Christmas and like them. They came from Kohls. There were lots of colors.

I have a few pairs of adidas that I like and i want to get a pair of Nike renew shoes. I also have this Walmart pair (leopard print) for $16 that I think are cute and I like running errands in them on the weekend. Throwing them out here as a cheap option. I haven’t gone for a run in them but I’ve done long trail walks.

Another adidas cloud foam fan. At one point H, me, and DS all had them. It was a bit ridiculous. Lol. I just love how lightweight they are. My running shoes are heavy. I do wear these for strength workouts and walks but not running or hiking.

I would try TJ Maxx or Marshalls. I got my adidas there and they were less than 30 bucks.

i guess i’m the only one that hates adidas cloud foam. i’ve had 3 pair (because they’re cute don’t @ me) and they all fell apart in their own ways. in one pair the toe started coming undone and looked awful. in another pair the sole started coming off the fabric. and in my last pair the foam started ripping. 😑

My go to are my Nike Revolution 5s. They're super light. I've been eyeing up a pair of Vejas though, the V-10s.

I have flats from Allbirds and love them! So comfortable. I considered their sneakers because I loved their flats so much but I don’t wear sneakers.

I found a really cute pair of slippers on flats that seem to compare with Allbirds or Rothy's. Sadly it was another MOTN online shopping and now we I can't find them. They were really cute and I remember wanting the dark green with black trim?

I got a FB ad for this brand called Kizik that are intriguing as they’re fully hands free and I like to do the least. I love all of the recs in here. I know I just need to pick.

I have completely different sneakers for day to day than I do for workouts. Some of my favorite daily sneakers are: P448 high tops are my obsession of the year, so comfortable. You have to watch because they get marked down often. Air Force 1’s. I buy them in boys sizes and save myself like $50. APL Techloom Bliss. These are so easy and comfortable. MH now owns a few pairs because I wouldn’t shut up about how great they are. Golden Goose. Yes, I know you all hate them. I don’t care. Air Max 90. There’s so many cute color combos and they’re another one you can buy in boys sizes.
