The Fitting RoomThe best white sneakers for every budget
Clean white sneakers work with jeans, dresses and tailoring. These five cover everything from an everyday staple to an investment pair, with notes on sizing and how each one wears in.

Campo
Typical price: around $150
Leather upper with a sole made partly from wild rubber, and a recognisable side logo. Runs slightly large, so many people size down.
Original Achilles Low
Typical price: around $450
Minimal Italian leather with the gold serial number on the heel. Expensive, but it keeps its shape for years if you care for it.
Stan Smith
Typical price: around $100
Slim, flat and easy to wear with almost anything. The current versions use a partly recycled upper.
Air Force 1 '07
Typical price: around $115
Chunkier, with more cushioning than the slim styles here. A good pick if you are on your feet all day.
550
Typical price: around $110
A basketball silhouette with a padded collar. Often comes with coloured accents, so check the colourway if you want all white.
How to choose
Leather or canvas
Leather keeps its shape and wipes clean. Canvas is lighter and cheaper but marks more easily.
Slim or chunky
Slim, low profiles suit tailoring and dresses. Chunkier soles add cushioning and work with relaxed outfits.
Plan for cleaning
A soft brush and mild soap keep white leather bright. Avoid the washing machine for leather pairs.
Prices change often and vary by retailer, size and colour. Always check the final price on the retailer's site. Comparing it is exactly what The Fitting Room is being built to do for you.
