I can comfortably walk for miles in ultra-durable Coach sneakers

I have always associated the Coach leather brand only with handbags. I particularly associate them with the formative years of my youth, when poring over a shoulder bag adorned with the iconic letter print was all that took up my free space.

It’s only now, at age 30, that I’ve finally added a Coach product to my wardrobe that I’ve never tried before: shoes. The style I incorporated into my shoe lineup was the Runner Sneaker in Moss/Army Green, which adds a pop of color to my mostly neutral wardrobe. They’re also on sale right now for 30% off.

Even though handbags have always been a priority, it didn’t occur to me to try Coach’s sneakers until I saw Jennifer Lopez in a pair. The singer was recently spotted in the brand’s low-top sneakers, and while I love their sleek profile, I figured I’d try another sportier silhouette since I already own my fair share of white sneakers.

The Runner Sneaker — available in beige, black, lavender and moss green — features a lightweight, supportive sole, contrasting suede and nylon details and a pointed toe. Even though I didn’t run in it, I did some serious walking in it. The day I received the shoes, I immediately tested them, walking several miles on the rough city sidewalks near my apartment. They required no break-in period and the cushioned sole kept my feet comfortable and pain-free.

Since they have a suede exterior, I wouldn’t recommend them for rainy days in order to preserve their beautiful craftsmanship. Also keep in mind that they run true to size on the larger side, so consider sizing down a half or even a full size to find your perfect fit. Although they’re not meant for intense workouts, they’re the perfect companion to my fancier outfits when I want a more sporty, casual touch.

Shoppers agree that sneakers are an elevated shoe option that deserves to be readily available in your wardrobe. One reviewer called them “super comfortable with a sporty luxury vibe.” Another person who said their feet tend to become sore quickly after hours of walking mentioned that they are “the best (shoes they have) ever worn” and that they have “helped prevent the onset of this pain.” A third customer called them “perfect for an afternoon out or traveling across the country.”
