24 Best Summer Sneakers For Women

The collection of summer sneakers we're sharing is the result of research that includes 2022 fashion trends, women's summer sneaker favorites, as well as expert advice on what to look for in a summer sneaker. It makes sense that if you're going to live your best life this summer, being comfortable is not optional. In fact, Dr. Timothy Karthas, DPM and podiatry expert at OOFOS shoes, explains that one of the critical factors in comfort is heel stability. For this story, he advised that "...a deep heel cup to hold the heel in position or straps to prevent the heel from shifting is very helpful." So, although you might stray from this advice from time to time, this roundup makes it easy to follow his advice.

In addition to real-life user reviews, social media feedback, and quality ratings, we also consider some shoes are timeless, like platform Converse and classic white sneakers for women.

But, these days, there's more to it than that, according to Julie Kuo, Co-founder, and CEO of AVRELIFE. To help with our summer sneaker research, Kuo's expertise confirmed our natural inclination to include plenty of brands prioritizing sustainability. "The latest trend is showing that fashion and sustainability go hand in hand," says Kuo, who co-founded LA-based shoe brand Avre after years of experience in her parents' footwear line, Qupid, as per Fortune. She goes on to say, "Shoppers are very aware of the impact that fashion has on the environment. They support brands that are doing their part to reduce their carbon footprint by using sustainable or recycled materials."

Combining Statista's research with experts' advice, we created a robust list of the best summer sneakers for women. It features plenty of sneakers that are making strides in sustainability and comfort, plus each pair is 100% swoon-worthy and on-trend for summer 2022 (via PureWow, Vogue).
