About this list:

So, so many shoes from which to choose. Yet, at the end of a hard, pavement-pounding week, nothing feels better than slipping into a great pair of sneaks. And, as 2008 is the 100th anniversary of Converse, I thought I would make a list of some outstanding sneakers as a sort of homage. Here's to you, Converse.

Qualifications:

I worshipped the Nike Pegasus throughout middle school.

Athleta: Women's New Balance Trail Runner

First to recommend

Description

I love running outside, but the average running shoes easily come untied, lead you off-course, or get mired in mud. These shoes are my dream come true: traction, stability and lace endurance in a duo of cool colors.

Eddie Bauer - Women's Venice H2 Sandals by Keen

First to recommend

Description

Although Keen refers to these shoes as "sandals", I prefer to call them "sneals". As hybrids, they are sturdier than sandals but more sea-worthy than sneakers. And since they have an anti-stink factor built right into the lining, you can wear them whenever weather permits without getting funky. Sneals. I kinda like the sound of that.

LACOSTE shoes

Description

If you look closely, you'll notice that these men's sneakers have a design similar in structure to that of a tennis net. Blending right in with the alligator logo, the pattern is subtle but very cool.
