Here’s the thing. Ever since I can remember, my daily uniform consists of jeans and sneakers. Generally, I mix them with simple T-shirts, but almost every day, you can find me wearing jeans and sneakers. I realized years ago that if I’m getting a bunch of things done around the house without the proper foot support, my joints get extremely achy, so I began wearing sneakers every single day. My love for a rigid pair of jeans is a whole separate story, but I wanted to gather up a bunch of the cutest sneakers for women to be wearing this spring (or year-round if you’re like me).

I feel my most productive when I put on a good pair of sneaks and sinch the laces up tight. I can just go and go and go, and like most working mothers, I’m needing to max out productivity most every day. Sneakers are my lifeline.

And at the risk of triggering a whole bunch of you, I wear sneakers in my house. I know a lot of people find that really gross, but nobody’s eating food off the floor, and it doesn’t really bother me. My house, my rules!

I grew up in a “socks-only” household! My parents had a basket of footies that they would hand out to guests (embarrassing when your friends come over to play), and I think that’s more out of concern for preserving the carpet for as long as possible. Wood floors are much easier to clean!

Okay, now let’s get into the fun part. Shoesssss.

I’m currently wearing these three pairs on repeat every day. This past fall/winter, I wore my black Adidas sambas all the time, so it felt like a natural progression to get a white pair for spring. They’re so, so cute.

My Nikes are on their third or fourth year and still going strong. Luckily, the vintage sneaker look is really trending because I plan to wear them into the ground. They look especially cute paired with dresses and skirts.

My New Balances are about as chunky as sneakers get. I especially love wearing them with leggings, but they’re cute with jeans too.

Here are a bunch of cuties that I either have or have my eyes on.

    We are a no outdoor shoes inside household, but we live in an area that is dusty and we also have winter. However, I have a pair of indoor shoes. I found when I was pregnant, I needed the support of a shoe on hardwood and tile floors. My shoes are only worn indoors, if I go outside, I slip into different shoes or boots. It’s a win/win here, no tracking in dust or snow.

  2. Morgan says:

    Am I the only person who feels like asking people to take their shoes off in your house if you have a dog is hypocritical? Seems kind of moot to me. Maybe it’s just my dog, but he brings in WAY worse stuff on his paws than the average pair of shoes.

  3. Annelise Kromann says:

    I’m a shoes on in the house person, too, and it roots in having dogs that peed when excited, or when they got old. I did not like stepping on surprises. And now that I’m older, I can’t go without some kind of footwear in the house or my back and feet get mad.

  4. Mia says:

    I’m with you! Shoes on! I wash my floor multiple times a week and honestly I don’t like looking at feet. I live in Charleston and most likely my guests will be in some sort of sandal or flip flop.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
