Yes, Slip-On Sneakers Can Be Fashionable—Here Are 21 to Prove It

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

I admit that I like the ease of slip-on sneakers, and I don’t care what anyone else has to say about it. Seeing as you’re here right now, I’m guessing you feel similarly. It’s so convenient not to fuss with coaxing my foot into a shoe, which, by the way, is a pretty embarrassing scenario. Picture me wearing some skirted outfit and trying to shove my foot into a still-laced sneaker (because I will never untie), trying to do so with poise, grace, and, of course, balance. The chances are high that I’ll a) flash someone, b) lose my footing and knock something over, or c) inevitably give up and awkwardly limp off into the night with shoes that are only halfway on.

I should make it clear, however, that stomping down the back part of your shoes is not a viable option. If it isn’t made for slipping on, don’t try to make it such. As a result, you’ll damage the integrity of your sneaker, ultimately causing creases and loss of shape. I have to tell myself on repeat: I will not step on the back of my shoes. I will not step on the back of my shoes. But damn, if it isn’t tempting...

You can eliminate this predicament altogether quite simply with a pair of slip-on sneakers. Contrary to popular misconception, there are ways to make the style align with current shoe trends, and I’m here to show you how. Plus, they make for the ultimate travel shoes; TSA is sure to be impressed by your practical footwear. Ahead, find 20 pairs of the most stylish and comfortable slip-on sneakers, including a few you can shop directly from Amazon.
