When the leaves start turning and the temps drop, it’s time to swap out your summer wardrobe for cozier layers. Spaghetti straps and tube tops get traded for coats and cardigans; sundresses make way for turtlenecks and hoodies. And when it comes to shoes, it’s time to stash those strappy sandals and opt for something that’ll keep your toes cozy. Your mind might jump straight to booties or Uggs for fall, but don’t sleep on sneakers—they can be just as stylish and warm.
Think about it: Sneakers look way chicer with a dress than you might think, and they’re a no-brainer with your favorite jeans, no matter the style. Not to mention, they’re a natural match for all your athleisure looks. So before you settle into your usual autumn shoe lineup, hear us out: a solid pair (or two!) of the best fall sneakers might just be your go-to for autumn.

There’s nothing quite like a great suede sneaker to help you brave chillier weather. We love these vintage Nike Cortezes for a few reasons. First, the suede lets people know that you’re cozy as could be. Second, the three color options are green, gray, and cream—all beautiful autumnal tones. And since they’re $100, they’re also kind to your wallet. There’s not much negative to note about this pair of sneakers, the only downside is that this runs a little small; Nike recommends ordering half a size up.
Pros:
- Affordable and durable
- Padded collar for added comfort
- Foam insole with wedge insert
- Comfortable
Cons:
- Runs small
- Not ideal for weightlifting or running
