A pair of sneakers should suit the way you plan to wear them. A style for school and everyday use has different requirements from running shoes for tarmac or sports shoes for training. Yet many shoes are promoted with phrases such as “extra comfort”, “lightweight” or “durable”. If you don’t check the product specifications, you could end up paying for features that don’t suit your needs.
“Comfortable” doesn’t tell you much on its own. Check what makes the shoe comfortable: a Memory Foam insole, an EVA midsole, a padded collar or a flexible upper. Also check whether the insole is removable. For example, the insole isn’t removable in several of the Skechers sneakers in this selection.
According to information from Skechers, certain models contain Memory Foam or Air-Cooled Memory Foam. This describes the material and construction, but doesn’t guarantee that every wearer will have the same experience.
Casual sneakers for everyday wear aren’t automatically suitable for running. Running shoes are generally designed to support movement, cushioning and grip while you run. A lifestyle style such as the Nike Dunk Low is more about its low-profile silhouette, leather upper and casual look.
For children, the fastening, flexibility and ease of cleaning are also important. A hook-and-loop fastening can be more practical for school or putting shoes on independently than laces alone.
An EU size doesn’t always mean the same length and width across different brands and models. Check the size guide, the stated fit and, if available, the foot length in centimetres. If you’re looking for size 43 sneakers or size 45 sneakers, it’s worth checking the width too. A regular fit may feel different from a roomy or narrow last.
Care is important for everyday wear in changeable weather. Textile can show dirt more quickly, while leather or synthetic sections can usually be cleaned with a damp cloth. Always follow the care label; not every style is suitable for machine washing.
Check these three parts:
According to the product information, the adidas Runfalcon 5 has a Cloudfoam midsole, Ortholite insole and Adiwear outsole. The PUMA Pounce Lite uses lightweight foam and a rubber PROTREAD outsole, according to its specifications. These are product features, not a general guarantee of performance or comfort.
For intensive walking or running, a secure fit around the heel is important. If you have a wider forefoot, a style with a roomier toe box may be more suitable. The LI-NING YUEYING 6, for example, is available with a wide toe box; according to the product information, going up half a size may be a better fit for a wider foot or thicker socks.
Why it suits this profile: This style is designed for everyday wear and has a regular fit, lace fastening and a fixed Memory Foam insole. Size 43 is listed in the product details.
The product information clearly states the fit and size, so you don’t have to rely on the marketing term “comfort” alone.

Why it suits this profile: According to the product description, the low-top Dunk Low has a leather upper, padded collar and rubber outsole. It’s a good fit for shoppers who value style and choice of materials.
The choice isn’t based on the Dunk Low logo alone: the upper, lining and sole are described separately.
Leather upper, low-top fit, padded collar and a black-and-white colourway with grey details.
Why it suits this profile: According to the product information, this unisex style is designed for routes ranging from tarmac to trails. The size guide runs from 39 to 45, including size 43 and size 45 sneakers.
The choice takes both the surface and size into account. The description lists mesh, EVA foam and a rubber ROCKYTEC outsole.
Lightweight mesh and woven upper, EVA midsole and treaded outsole for different surfaces.
Why it suits this profile: These children’s sneakers have a high-top fit, hook-and-loop fastening and rubber sole. Size 33 is described as a regular fit.
The fastening and fit are clearly specified. The description recommends cleaning with a damp cloth; don’t machine wash these shoes because of their light-up components.

As well as this selection, you’ll find styles for men, women and children, including black sneakers, sneakers with Memory Foam, adidas running shoes and Puma running shoes. Before ordering, check the size, width, sole, fastening and care instructions for each product.
We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Their lifespan depends on how often you wear them, the surface, the material and how well you care for them. Check the sole for worn tread, cracks or a heel that has collapsed unevenly. With intensive daily wear, signs of wear may appear sooner than if you alternate between pairs.
Not every pair. Choose running shoes if you run regularly, and look for a good fit, a breathable upper, cushioning and grip. Casual sneakers, including some women’s or men’s styles, are mainly intended for walking and everyday wear.
Measure your feet at the end of the day and compare the length with the size guide for the specific style. Wear the socks you’d normally wear with the shoes. Check the width too, and make sure there’s some room for your toes to move.
