The Best Sneakers for Women in 2025

Whether it’s leopard, cheetah or – in this case – snake print, animal motifs are one of AW25’s foremost shoe trends. Here, Miu Miu blends python-embossed leather with brightly hued fabric to create the Gymnasium sneakers, inspired by classic ’80s styles, completing the pair with mismatched double laces and a curved sole that defines their slender profile.

Suede – especially in neutral hues – is one of the season’s go-to materials, so it’s only fitting that these Golden Goose sneakers make our list. One of the brand’s newer styles, the True Star features the same scuffed sole and star appliqué as you’ll see across its roster, while spotlighting supple brown suede on the upper for a sleek look.

Shades of red – think burgundy, merlot and cherry – are key colours when it comes to autumnal dressing, and trainers are a wearable way to dip your toe into the trend. Loewe chooses a rich bordeaux shade to create this iteration of the Ballet Runner 2.0 sneakers, complete with flatter soles and a slimmer, sportier shape.

If you like to bring a sports-influenced element to your ensembles, then the T-Marathon sneakers from Tod’s are the ideal pair. They feature a removable foldover tongue that sits boldly atop the upper – a detail inspired by vintage football boots – alongside the brand’s signature pebbled rubber soles for a balance of smart and casual codes.

Timeless, versatile and sophisticated, neutral colours are considered classics for good reason. Those three elements also apply to these Prada sneakers: light beige suede panels are defined by tonal topstitching for a sports-inspired aesthetic, while the brand’s logo on the tongue and sides serves as a stamp of approval.

You might associate Bottega Veneta with its iconic Intrecciato weave – but these Orbit Flash sneakers prove that the Italian house excels far beyond quiet luxury. They’re defined by latticed detailing that oscillates between soft suede, technical fabric and smooth leather, all in different hues for a bold effect that doesn’t compromise on comfort.
