Welcome to The Essentials, our weekly series highlighting a must-have classic, key to building a timeless, pulled-together closet.
When it comes to the very best sneakers of 2022, it's not often that a pair of slip-on sneakers tops my personal shopping list. The easy-on-easy-off style is known for its comfort, and not always for its stylish qualities. However, several brands have dropped some seriously trendy options this year—so we put together a guide to all of the best slip-on sneakers to shop in 2022, no matter your price point.
It makes sense that I would be looking for a new pair to try; I'm something of a sneaker expert at this point. My own personal sneaker collection is growing at a rapid rate these days, and I'm always on the hunt for new pairs. I've already found the coolest white sneakers and the a few of the best black sneakers on the market that I've been alternating between on a daily basis this season. I've even broken down the best sneakers by brand, starting with my list of the best Nike sneakers for every purpose and style. Chunky sneakers? I've got a few in my collection at this point. Splurge worthy designer sneakers? There are a few of those that I love, too. Slip-on sneakers, with their simple colorways and easy-to-style silhouettes, are the final frontier of my collection.
Keep reading to check out all of the cutest slip-on sneakers for women that I've been able to track down. These picks are simple, yes, but think of them not for their statement-making qualities but for the fact that they're so comfortable. Some of the top slip-on sneakers on this list are known for their arch support, while others come in too many colors and patterns to count.
11,500 five-star reviews can't lie. This pair of slip-on sneakers from Dr. Scholl's is adored by legions of fans who are looking for a cute, versatile sneaker that won't break the bank and feels amazing after hours of wear. "I absolutely love these shoes. I was looking for slip on sneakers that would be comfortable and that I could wear everyday but also dress up," says one reviewer. "These were the perfect match."
Skaters and everyday people agree: the Vans Classic Sneakers are some of the best slip-on sneakers on the market. Available in the iconic checkered colorway and this all-white iteration, they're a great, affordable way to stay on-trend.
We've long loved pieces from Rothy's here at Marie Claire, and this pair of sneakers is no exception. Available in 15 prints and colors and in sizes 5 through 13, this pick is both machine-washable and made from plastic bottles.
This vegan sneaker is also knit from sustainably-sourced bamboo as well as other recycled plastics, making it good for you and for the environment. It has a removable memory foam sole for comfort, and comes in 13 colors.
Vince's clothing range contains some of the most chic elevated pieces, and their shoe collection is no different. This suede pair has a slight platform and is formal enough to work at the office or on your day off.
Not all running shoes for women need to have laces, people! This pair from APL: Athletic Propulsion Labs proves that slip-on sneakers can be just as sporty as the regular old lace-up kind. Available in sizes 5-11, they'll take you far.
This pair of slip-ons were made to party. Outfitted with tons of gold and silver sequins, this option from Keds x Kate Spade bridges the gap between work and play. Shop them in sizes 5 through 11.
Marie Claire editors have already waxed poetic about these Nike sneakers, but we're bringing them up here for good reason: they're so affordable at just $55. Shop them in either black or white.
Part mule, part sneaker, these plaid picks from Burberry are screaming comfort. But, thanks to the instantly recognizable logo, you'll feel OK wearing them out of the house, too.
If a shoe is called "The Forever Sneaker," you know it has to be good. You can shop these slip-ons (a version of Everlane's iconic regular Forever Sneakers (opens in new tab), which Marie Claire has already raved about in many a story), are available to shop in either white or black.
A pair of cute black sneakers that won't break the bank? Sign me up! These ones from ZARA have a subtly embossed design on the top for added style points while only retailing for $50.
Leave it to The Row to design some of the most low-key yet chic slip-on sneakers on the market. These undeniably cool sneakers are for the person who wants to invest in a pair for the long-haul.
The Cardi B references are too easy not to include here, so I'll just say this: these are the Balenciagas, the ones that look like socks. Shop this nude version of the now-iconic slip-on sneakers while they're (somehow) still in stock.
If you suffer from constant foot pain or just prefer a pair of sneakers with added arch support, these slip-ons from VIONIC are perfect for you. The insole support can make sizing tricky, but I recommend sizing down to find your perfect fit.
