The best casual shoes are all about ease and comfort. They're a don't-think-too-hard kind of shoe, a shoe you can wear with jeans or joggers, a sweater or a casual blazer.
Whether they're worn in the office, for walks around the park, to the bar, or just in your home, these are the styles that don't require too much effort or deliberation on any front—you don't have to mess with a bunch of laces and straps, you don't have to pull out a special pair of socks. You can slip these on and head out the door, saving all that mental energy for corporate functions, state dinners, weddings at the St. Regis, and other hard-and-fast black-tie events.
A casual shoe is a shoe you'll likely get a lot of use out of. It's in your everyday rotation, and when you reach for a different shoe, it's because there's an occasion. So, to make sure your shoe game is up to snuff, here are 24 options for you to check out right now.
From fashion runways to tennis courts to streets far and wide, this sneaker dominates. You'd be wise to cop a pair, if you haven't done so already, because like the man it's named after, the style is the cream of the crop. And if that doesn't get you, the fact that this particular version is made of Primegreen (a performance recycled material) should.
Since its debut in 2017, the Allbirds Wool Runner has been a consistent bestseller for the DTC label, astounding (and confounding) many sneaker fiends. But what it lacks in sneakerhead cachet, it more than makes up for in durability, performance, style, and comfort. It's reliable. And that's damn important. One Allbirds customer said, "Definitely a comfortable pair of shoes. Either when I'm at work all day or taking my daily walks, they've been great every step of the way!"
For a shoe that looks casual but is crafted with the utmost precision and care, the Dice Lo sneakers are perfect, with a retro aesthetic that uses leather and recycled rubber.
Ashton Kutcher and a ton of celebs love Cariuma, and it's easy to see why. Lightweight and sustainably made, this affordable, casual shoe is one of our editors' favorites of the moment.
For something modern and sleek, turn to On Running. Even if you put these on with a plain white tee, you'll instantly look smart and sharp.
This Todd Snyder style is for a guy who wants a casual shoe that isn't an ugly shoe, as some sneakers tend to be. Sorry.
Ah, the classic Nike Cortez. Cool. Casual. Versatile. A shoe that never goes out of style.
For when you want to feel instantly better. This is a sneaker you can (and should) pair with everything from joggers to chinos to khakis.
Everlane's soft, lightweight sneakers are so comfy, you'll forget you're even wearing shoes. These look cool with just about anything—including formal pants, when you need to dress them up a bit.
One Everlane customer said, "These are amazing sneakers. The color and material combined with the comfort make it a great everyday shoe."
The great thing about Vejas is that they're so damn wearable. Once you have these, you'll probably never put on your other shoes again.
Whether it's spring or fall, the desert boot is a foolproof option for in-between seasons, thanks to its easy, versatile silhouette and lightweight construction. And it really doesn't get any better than Clarks.
The mule is having a moment. And the ultimate shuffling-around shoes definitely qualify as a go-to casual choice, whether you're heading out for a quick coffee run or, depending on your job, a long day at the office.
Casual doesn't have to mean you don't look like you tried. Tecovas's leather slip-ons are an effortless style that gives your look a dose of elegance.
M.Gemi brings together the best of luxury and the best of everyday casual footwear. Made in Italy, the Paolo is perfect for daily wear, but it feels like a shoe you save for special occasions. One M.Gemi customer said, "The new Paolo is like walking on a cloud. Very happy with them!"
Tough as nails but kind to your feet, thanks to the good doctor's signature bouncing soles. A killer combo for any casual shoe—and even better when it's a bona fide classic like the 1461.
These boots may seem like a little bit more effort to slip into than, say, a casual sandal or sneaker, but at the end of the day, they make a pair of jeans look damn good, but not like you're trying too hard. One Huckberry customer said, "These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. The style is unbeatable."
Vans keeps it classic with a style that's never not cool. The Old Skool is an iconic shoe for the everyday, and you can dress it down with jeans or up with a button-down.
Hear me out! Not all derbies are casual, but these definitely can be. You don't need to wear tuxedo shoes into the office every day, after all, but does that mean you should be wearing sneakers? No, it really doesn't.
This is one of the most iconic, recognizable shoes in the world. Do I even need to explain how you can wear this with literally anything? It's the very image of a casual shoe.
With a wool and cashmere blend, these sneakers feel endlessly luxurious, but they're such a versatile option that they're pretty much made to be worn everywhere, every day.
One Naadam customer said, "This item is impressive on all factors, comfort, build quality, size and fit, material softness, durability. I am a fan for life."
