The supportive high drop Cloudnova 2s are down from $170 to $115, making them an excellent choice for serious runners looking for quality at a discount.

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is a made-up event designed to take your money, but it offers genuinely great deals for those willing to search for them.

Clothing that bears the name of a city near or far has become a closet staple for many consumers in recent years, evolving from impulse purchases to mainstream fashion.

Patel's bespoke shoes were black, white, and yellow, and featured a number 9 on the side to signify that he is the bureau's ninth director. A "K$H" logo on the tongue is Patel's personal logo (FBI directors have personal logos now), and a skull from the Marvel character Punisher appeared across the back of the shoe, along with the FBI's slogan "Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity."

Few fashion brands (even fewer maisons) have the aesthetic language required to make a sneaker like the Gel-Kayano 14, which is already the darling of the silvery retro runner trend we've talked about for years, feel immediately interesting-at least interesting enough to put the American Express down. But Thom Browne is the one company, the one designer, I trust to do it.

Tuning frictional behavior on the fly has been a long-standing engineering dream. This new insight into how surface geometry governs slip pulses paves the way for tunable frictional metamaterials that can transition from low-friction to high-grip states on demand.

I remember standing in a boutique in San Francisco, sliding my credit card across the counter for a pair of $400 sneakers I absolutely could not afford. My second startup had just folded-eighteen months of burning through investor money, eighteen months of watching something I built crumble in slow motion-and I was drowning in debt. But there I was, walking out with a shopping bag and a receipt that made my stomach turn, telling myself this was an investment in how people perceived me.

My first pair of Hunter rain boots actually came from my grandmother, who has an incredibly sharp eye for great shoes (and zero patience for flimsy ones). When I was a teenager, she bought me a pair of tall Hunters in a glossy light silver. They were practical, of course, but also strangely cool-metallic enough to feel a little dramatic, subtle enough to still work with everything in my wardrobe.

Specifically, the company is focusing on the production of its newest, weirdest shoe-a giant soled laceless running shoe with a single-piece toe box made of "hyper-foam" plastics sprayed on by robot arms. The plastics are 40 percent biofoam, and the shoe is made of just eight pieces; On says its minimalist approach saves on the shoe's carbon footprint.

Crocs unveiled its first new global brand platform in nearly a decade to better appeal to a younger generation of consumers, according to a press release. "Wonderfully Unordinary" centers on self-expression and real-world experiences in a culture "saturated in imitation and algorithmic sameness," Crocs said. The titular anthem spot depicts a pair of featureless store mannequins as they come alive and grow increasingly human after being outfitted in Crocs' signature porous clogs.

There are certain suitcase staples worth having in your travel wardrobe. An effortless pair of wrinkle-free travel pants is one of them. A comfy pair of shoes is the other. While clogs and flats make a stylish choice, sneakers are our top travel shoe pick, especially when they're known to endure 13-hours on your feet or 15,000 steps without blisters, like two of our editors' favorite Adidas styles.

Now, returning in 2.0 trim, it's been treated to a New York-inspired update thanks to the folks at HSDT. Proportions and comfort have been elevated, while the sneakers' visual language has taken shape through features inspired by NYC's everyday structures. This continues the brand's "The Architecture of Everyday Life" ideology, focusing on scaffolding and steel beams, stairwells and sidewalks, mesh fences, utility grates and metals.

I had to blink the first time I landed on the product page for the Nike ACG Ultrafly Trail. I'd seen lots of promotional assets ahead of the release (see here and here), where the trainer is caked with mud. But in the end, it's hi-vis orange - and like any other brand-new shoe, being sold without a stain or scratch.

Stylists say Mary Janes and ballet sneakers will be trendy as they prioritize comfort and style.

If you've shied away from buying leather sneakers for trips out of a fear that they might cause blisters, give this low-top option from Quince a try. Not only are they "super comfortable right out of the box," according to customers, but the sneakers' soft cotton lining and padded interior are ideal for "all-day comfort."

Winter is here, and footwear is the foundation of every outfit—literally. As a New Yorker working in fashion with a daily commute, I've learned (the hard way) that the best winter shoes have to balance style with real-world practicality. Looking ahead to winter 2026, designers seem to agree. This season is all about polish meeting performance, with sculptural silhouettes, cozy textures, and sneakers made for all-day, everyday wear.

Black leggings might have formed the backbone of your off-duty wardrobe over the holidays, but if you just wore them for afternoon naps or, at a push, to get a takeaway coffee, you're missing their full potential. The street-style set doesn't use this item of clothing (purely) for exercise or work from home days. Instead, they wear black leggings not just on the streets but to fashion shows, letting their slimline second skins into circles more hallowed than, say, your sofa.

There is every chance that 2026 will be the year you see your first pair of Gardana gardening clogs in the wild. In fact, if you spend much time on TikTok, or live in Brooklyn, you've probably already been seeing them for months, if not years. I saw my first pair a few weeks ago. I watched a dad dropping his kids off at school in head-to-toe Carhartt, a pair of Gardanas peeping out from below his trousers like a shy frog.

Choosing a particular model does not necessarily mean focusing on excessive colour, but rather knowing how to identify the lines and volumes that communicate a precise aesthetic vision that breaks with convention. This process requires a certain awareness of materials and proportions, as a shoe with a strong design has the ability to transform even the simplest outfit into a sophisticated and modern style statement.

Some days, getting dressed feels like a complete saga - slipping straps, too-tight waistbands, shoes that betray you the second you step out of the house. But never fear: we've found a ton of clever clothes and accessories that quietly fix everyday woes and help ease additional styling headaches. Scroll on to shop problem-solving bras, magic tailoring clips, layering hacks, and other things you didn't know existed but now suddenly need (and will wish you had sooner).

This winter, a number of footwear trends are battling for the spotlight. From Mary Janes to sneakerinas, it's been difficult to name a definitive reigning champion-until now. After much consideration, knee-high boots have won the title of the most sensible and stylish shoes for travel, and there are so many pairs marked down at Amazon right now to help you score the look for less.

In addition to being comfortable to wear for long periods of time, I make sure my sneakers are supportive, don't give me blisters, and have a long-lasting quality. Skechers Hotshot Cool Transition Suede Sneakers from QVC met all of these requirements with flying colors after I tested them out recently, and they have become my go-to pair of walking shoes.

Here's the thing - looking expensive is way less about your bank account and way more about picking the right pieces. All of the cute-as-hell outfits below feature polished, on-trend details that will make you look like you spent way more than you did. From easy everyday staples to statement pieces you'll actually want to wear, these finds are proof you can serve luxury vibes even on a budget.

What I'm doing here is giving you fashion options. What boots should a man, a man who takes some amount of pride in how he looks, own? And sorry to be one note, but I'm also going to tell you to avoid the "trends" here. We're in a vacuum of trends at the moment. I've talked about this in other stories, and I try to avoid talking about it at parties

Nicole Kidman stepping through an airport is basically a masterclass in effortless travel style, so when she was recently spotted in ballet-inspired sneakers while on the move, I immediately took notes. Her travel shoes struck that perfect balance every traveler is chasing: comfortable enough for days of exploring, but chic enough to make a cozy sweat set feel intentional. Add in the fact that ballet sneakers have quietly taken over the celebrity style circuit, and it's clear this isn't just a fleeting fashion moment.
