Choosing a pair of sneakers online seems simple: click on the colour, brand and size, and you’re done. Yet most disappointing purchases are caused by details that are barely visible in product photos. A sole, for example, may be suitable for everyday use but less appropriate for running. The same EU size can also feel different from one model to another.
This guide from the Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer helps you compare sneakers by fit, fastening, material and intended use. That way, you can find women’s sneakers, men’s sneakers, children’s sneakers, sports shoes or casual sneakers more easily.
Skechers sneakers and adidas sneakers each come in a wide range of models. A low casual sneaker, a walking shoe and a running shoe do not require the same features. So look beyond the logo and check the sole, upper material and fastening.
Black sneakers are easy to match, while white sneakers have a fresh look. However, colour says nothing about cushioning, grip or fit.
A product in size 37 may fit true to size, while another model may be described as roomier or smaller. Pay attention to the sizing system and the stated foot length. adidas may also offer half sizes such as 40 2/3 and 42 2/3.
Ideally, measure your feet at the end of the day, wearing the socks you normally wear. Then compare the measurement with the size chart for the specific model. If you’re looking for size 42 sneakers, size 44 sneakers or size 37 sneakers, always check the product page rather than relying only on a general size chart.
A Memory Foam insole or padded tongue may feel comfortable for everyday use. That does not automatically make a model suitable for intensive training or long runs. According to adidas’s own information, for example, the Galaxy 7 M has a Cloudfoam midsole and a TPU outsole; the manufacturer describes this model as a running shoe. Use this information as a product specification, but match your choice to your own activity.
First check whether the model has a standard, roomy or narrow fit. A standard width is often indicated as D in the product information. If you need more adjustment, lace-up sneakers may be the best choice. You can adjust the tension separately for each foot.
Velcro sneakers are practical for children or for anyone who wants to put their shoes on quickly. Do make sure the strap is long enough to secure the foot properly. Slip-ons and elastic laces are convenient for everyday use, but offer less individual adjustment than traditional laces.
A rubber outsole is found on several models and may be suitable for everyday use. Actual grip also depends on the tread and the surface.
Textile and mesh can be lightweight and breathable. Suede and leather-like materials often provide more structure but require careful maintenance. For many models, cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is recommended. Machine washing, bleach and drying near a heat source can damage the material or adhesive.
A removable insole is useful if you want to use your own insoles. Check this explicitly: some Skechers models have Memory Foam as a fixed insole, while other models have a removable insole.
Why it suits this profile: This children’s sneaker model is designed for everyday use, school and play. The red colour and low-cut shape work well with a casual children’s style.

Why it suits this profile: According to the product description, this model is designed as a running shoe, making it a more interesting option for users who walk, train or run as well as wearing sneakers casually.

We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Their lifespan depends on use, the surface, body weight, material and care. Wearing a pair every day and taking part in intensive sports puts more strain on it than alternating between different pairs. Replace your sneakers when the sole becomes visibly smooth or unevenly worn, the fit changes or the upper becomes damaged.
You can, provided the size and fit feel comfortable. Bear in mind that running shoes often have a different sole construction and appearance from casual sneakers. Do not automatically use a model for a sport it was not designed for.
Memory Foam is a feature of the insole and, according to the product description, may provide additional cushioning. The experience varies from person to person. So also check the width, whether the insole is fixed or removable, and the amount of room around the toes. These factors are more important than the technology’s name alone.
