These 13 Best Leather Sneakers Can Be Styled with Anything

Veja was created with exemplary ideals, focusing on eco-friendly materials, social causes, and economic justice. Traceability is of utmost importance to the founders, and it begins with the farms the bovine leather comes from and extends to the tanneries and factories the shoes are produced in. Rubber sourced from the Amazon is used for the insoles and outsoles, while trims and detailing—such as organic cotton laces and recycled EVA—are the final touches.

Whether you’re looking to get your morning miles in or are in need of a run to the farmers’ market, these extra-cushioned sneakers make comfort look cool. The water-resistant leather makes them impervious to the elements, while Hoka’s signature midsole provides stability and stamina. Pair them with your favorite workout set and hoodie en route to the gym or a wide-leg jean and cropped tee for a street-style-friendly fit you can walk around in all day.

Is there anything more iconic than the Air Force 1 sneaker? The basketball-inspired style, made with a leather upper and rubber soles, has been a shoe-closet classic since it debuted over 30 years ago. The lace-up, low-top silhouette is a little easier to pull off than the high-top for your everyday. And we love the monochromatic feel that makes this a clean styling essential. Mix with your favorite jeans, sweater, and trench coat for a simple look, or pair with a floaty, floral dress for an unexpected feminine take.

Sneakers that look fashion-forward are not always comfortable—unless Madewell has anything to do with it. Behind the buttery exterior of these court sneakers, you will find a custom cushioned and ultra-supportive insole. The shoes were also made with reclaimed leather that otherwise would have been discarded as waste, and by a tannery that achieved a gold rating from the Leather Working Group. The outsoles are also made from recycled rubber and corn husks. A feel good purchase, for sure.

By now, you know Gazelles are back, because the shoe has been regularly spotted on the likes of Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles.

Easy, comfortable, and versatile, this pair feels like something you’d gravitate toward whenever you have to run out of the house.

A favorite in Hailey Bieber’s closet, this Velcro style from Acne Studios is a unique take on the leather sneaker. In a world where lace-ups rule, the simplicity of a Velcro strap design is effortless. You can slip these on and off with major ease.

Who hasn’t at one point owned the slip-on skate shoe from Vans? If you’re looking for a more elevated option that still gives you nostalgia, this leather Vans is it.

This version is made from perforated leather, so there is a textural element to the fabrication that dresses the shoe up. With a contrasting bumper rubber sole and elasticated side that makes for an easy pull on, they are a wardrobe staple that can (and will) be worn for years.

A leather shoe for under $100? Count us in. The Champion sneaker style from Keds has been around for over 100 years, worn by everyone from Audrey Hepburn to Taylor Swift. But this leather version is even better than the original canvas, as it’s more resistant to spills and stains. A cushioned footbed and breathable twill lining ensure the inside feels as good as the exterior looks. Wear these from season to season with denim shorts and miniskirts in the summer, then swap for cropped jeans in the fall.

Inspired by the past, these 100 percent cow-leather court sneakers from Rag & Bone are actually quite modern. An OrthoLite footbed molds to your foot shape and gives every shoe a custom fit and feel. And the outsole is also made from recycled rubber and walnut shells.

Simplicity is key when it comes to wardrobe basics that can be worn over and over. Keep it simple with Koio’s Italian leather sneaker, made locally in Tuscany. We love this popular style in pebble as an alternative to plain white. An OrthoLite insole ensures this flat sneaker shape won’t hurt after hours on end, either. Try them with a wide-leg, oversize suit for a relaxed feel.

Sometimes you want something a little more unique than your basic white sneaker, like these Alexander McQueen trainers. The flatform sole offers height, while the blue patch on the back gives it a pop of color and a bit more definition. We imagine these paired with a white, billowy dress.
