Frequently Asked Questions

Can you wear sneakers with a dress?

Yes, and it is one of the easiest outfits you will ever pull off. Beth Ferguson at SAS for Short (May 2026) says shorter dresses and midis that show some ankle work well, that sporty sneakers suit relaxed dresses while cleaner ones suit structured dresses, and that a low, light profile works better than a chunky sole. Who What Wear's Dale Arden Chong (updated August 2025) says to let the dress be the hero with a classic pair, or to go colorful for a bold pop with coordinating high socks. Shopping sneakers with dresses in mind? The black and purple glitter print pair keeps a low top profile, and the Glitter Me Up lace-ups bring the color pop in silver, pink, red or blue.

How do you clean canvas shoes?

Gently, and never near heat. House Digest's guide by Mary Cornetta (March 2022) says to shake out loose dirt, brush with a soft toothbrush, take out the laces, cover stains with laundry detergent for at least 15 minutes, hand wash with mild soap in warm water, wipe with a damp cloth, then blot and air dry stuffed with ink-free paper, away from direct heat or sunlight. Good Housekeeping's Alyssa Gautieri and Carolyn Forté (via AOL) skip the washing machine, because tumbling and spinning can damage the shoes, and use hydrogen peroxide on a soft brush for tough stains. That is how to clean canvas shoes like the pink and light purple lace-ups, which also have removable insoles you can take out first.

What shoes go with wide leg jeans?

Low sneakers, platforms or boots, depending on the hem. InStyle's Ariel Wodarcyk (December 2025, via AOL) says low-profile sneakers play into the effortlessly cool energy of wide-leg jeans, lug soles add contrast to faded denim, and block heels balance a wide hem. Audrey at Putting Me Together (October 2025) adds that a platform sneaker balances the volume of full-length jeans, open-toe styles lengthen the leg line, and ankle-length jeans keep your feet from being swallowed. For what shoes to wear with wide leg jeans from this page, start with the low top black and purple glitter print pair or the flat Glitter Me Up lace-ups on a 1 to 3cm heel.

What shoes go with barrel jeans?

Something sleek and low. Woman & Home's Molly Smith (October 2025) recommends streamlined trainers with a lower sole, retro low-tops or white trainers, plus pointed kitten heels, slim heeled ankle boots and flat mules. Wardrobe Oxygen's guide agrees on a sleek, low-profile retro sneaker, warns that chunky sneakers add too much volume to the bottom half, says high-tops work when they are laced snugly, and suggests colored or black crew socks instead of white. If you are deciding what shoes to wear with barrel jeans, try the Glitter Me Up lace-ups on their 1 to 3cm heel, the low top black and purple glitter print pair, or the black canvas high-top trainers laced tight.

What shoes go with flared jeans?

Height or a sneaker with a clean line. PureWow's Dominique Hobdy (August 2021) says platforms add lift and balance a denim cut that can feel heavy, that sneakers from canvas styles to chunky trainers work as long as the flares hit high enough, and that flip flops get swallowed by the extra fabric. Who What Wear's Bobby Schuessler (updated June 2024) adds that a retro sneaker silhouette works well with flares, alongside ankle boots, pointed heels and strappy sandals. For what shoes to wear with flared jeans from this page, go for the pink or light purple canvas lace-ups, and pick a hem that clears the toe.

What shoes go with straight leg jeans?

A slimmer sneaker with a cleaner toe. Cosmopolitan's Alexandria Dale (September 2025, via AOL) recommends a slimmer sneaker with an almond toe, warns that a chunky dad sneaker draws the eye down, says loafers need cropped or ankle-grazing denim, and adds that kitten heels create the illusion of longer legs. Looking for what shoes to wear with straight leg jeans that are not chunky? The flyknit lace-ups in forest green, leopard and pink glitter are built in an ultralight knit, and the Glitter Me Up pair is a flat lace-up.

What sneakers go with blue jeans?

Match the sneaker profile to the jean cut. Personal stylist Katie Mander at The Wardrobe Consultant says ankle flares want a medium to low profile with an elongated toe, wide-leg crops and barrel jeans want low-profile shoes, full-length flares work with a low-top or a high-top with a tight ankle shaft, slim straight jeans work with a low profile or a cuff or two, and bootcut jeans pair with non-chunky high-tops. Picking sneakers to wear with blue jeans from this page? The black canvas high-top trainers and the gold leather print high-tops cover the bootcut and full flare side, and the low top glitter print pair handles the cropped cuts.

What are the different ways to lace sneakers?

More than you think. Ian Fieggen's Shoe Lacing Methods page (updated August 2026) catalogs 62 methods, including criss cross, the most common, over under, which eases tightening, lock lacing, which adds heel-lock loops to stop your heel slipping, and straight bar, which shows horizontal bars on the outside. Wikipedia's shoelaces entry adds that criss-cross lacing is the strongest and most common and that checkerboard lacing is decorative, letting the shoes be treated as slip-ons. That is a lot of different types of lacing shoes can carry, and the white laces on the gold and black high-tops and the pink and light purple canvas lace-ups are ready for any of them.
