Planning a holiday trip? Find the best travel shoes for kids, from easy slip-ons to cushioned sneakers that make airport travel easier.
Today's sneakers & athletic shoes cover the gym, daily errands and everyday outfits for men, women and kids, with new releases and classic styles from brands like Nike, Jordan, adidas, PUMA, New Balance and Under Armour. They have moved well beyond their gym and track roles to become staples of everyday wear and high fashion: athletes rely on them for performance, while many others choose them for their blend of comfort and style. Each brand brings something different to the table, so the right pair starts with what you need it to do.
From high-performance athletic pairs to casual models, the options fall into three broad groups:
Within each group, brands bring their own strengths. Nike covers running, basketball, training and lifestyle styles under one name, while Jordan sneakers bring basketball heritage and retro releases. New Balance sneakers lean into heritage runners, and adidas Originals sneakers focus on classic lifestyle silhouettes.
Start with what the pair needs to do, then narrow by fit, material and how often you will wear it.
Members also enjoy Free Shipping for Members, Free 60 Day Returns, and rewards that stack up fast. Earn $10 for every $200 spent, plus 15% off for new rewards members.
Sizing can vary from one model to the next, so check the Hibbett size chart before you order. Unisex styles are often listed in US men's sizes, so use the brand's conversion chart for the exact model. Try shoes on later in the day, since feet swell as the hours go by, and walk a few steps on a hard surface to make sure the pair feels secure without pinching anywhere.
A breathable mesh upper keeps heat from building up over a long day, which suits warm weather and active use. Leather holds a more structured shape and a heritage look, so it fits days when style matters more than airflow.
Casual sneakers go with jeans, joggers or shorts for errands and weekends, while leather and suede styles sit well with chinos for a more put-together look. A collector's release can anchor the outfit as the statement piece.
Remove dirt and debris with a soft brush, then wipe the surfaces with a cloth dipped in warm water and mild detergent. Scrub tough stains on the soles with a toothbrush and let the pair air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
