Shoes you can toss right in the washing machine? Yes please! The stretchy, slip-on style is made with memory foam arch support and feels weightless with every step you take.

Asics Gel Dedicate 6 Tennis Shoes
There's nothing basic about these white tennis shoes from Asics. The crisp, clean silhouette is sleek and chock-full of comfortable features like gel cushioning. The flash of silver on the side also helps the shoes stand out from the crowd.

Naturalizer Sibley Sneakers
Who says tennis shoes have to be boring? These comfy statement makers from Naturalizer come in three bold designs — we adore the Pewter Knit one! — and have a stylish wedge heel. The wide variety of sizes is also a major perk.
Ciliviel Sneaker
Calling all fashionistas! These classy sneakers look like they're ready to walk right down a runway with their rhinestone detailing. They're not just a pretty face, though. The chic kicks are supportive and stylish and have a convenient slip-on fit.
Sorel Out N About Plus Classic Sneaker
Made of waterproof suede, these tennis shoes have the curb appeal of a sneaker with the added protection of a rain boot. The thick rubber sole offers plenty of traction and it comes in four colors (sage is our fave) that incorporate fun color blocking.

Vionci Alaina Active Sneaker
As the saying goes, "the devil is in the details" and this pair of shoes from Vionic has plenty of eye-catching details to go around. The airy mesh fabric and contrasting shades of pink certainly caught our attention, and we're also pretty intrigued by the extra orthotic support the style provides.
Dansko Henriette Denim Suede
Sick of the same old tennis shoe year after year? Try a touch of suede! The Henriette sneaker is equal parts sporty and sleek and comes in five colors (we're partial to the blue). It's made with Dansko's signature arch support and treated with 3M Scotchgard to resist stains. Plus, the interior lining is treated to prevent odors!
Allbirds Wool Runner Mizzles
TODAY's resident weatherman Al Roker has professed his love for these comfy kicks and we're starting to see why he digs them so much. The shoe is made of renewable materials (major plus for the environment!), is machine washable (bonus for you!) and repels water, so you'll be ready to run around in any type of weather.
