It’s the timeless shoe everyone needs for spring.
I’m someone drawn to pretty, shiny things, which is how I’ve amassed a closet and shoe rack full of items I seldom have the opportunity to wear. Rare formal event? I’m more than set. Frequent casual brunch? I’m kind of struggling. This is all to say that I’m in desperate need of practical pieces; fortunately, Gisele Bündchen just inspired me to buy something that’s both wearable and still really stylish.
The supermodel just gave a masterclass in airport fashion, layering a polished double-breasted coat over a casual gray hoodie and straight-leg jeans. On the bottom, she wore a pair of shoes I immediately added to my cart. Her all-white Vince Oasis sneakers were somehow both casual and chic. Featuring a flat sole, streamlined silhouette, and leather exterior, they felt like the more sophisticated sister of the classic white sneaker.

Bündchen’s look proved how cool the classic style can be while still being perfect for everyday life. It was a reminder I don’t have to pick fashion over practicality. While I’m obsessed with her exact shoes, I also found seven similar styles, including on-sale Tretorns and an editor-loved sneaker that was just worn by Brooke Shields.

Tretorn’s on-sale Nylite Plus sneakers get you Bündchen’s casual-cool look for less. This style has her shoe’s same streamlined silhouette — sleek and simple — but swaps out leather in favor of canvas. And according to shoppers, these are “unbelievably comfortable and versatile.” “They feel…like small pillows on the feet,” wrote one fan about the comfort, while another said that the style goes with any look “whether casual or dressy.”

If you prefer something slightly chunkier, consider grabbing these Gola x Anthropolgie sneakers. The leather sneakers are a favorite of shoppers, with one person writing that they’re “comfort meets cute.” “[They’re] such a good everyday sneaker,” they wrote, explaining that the style “goes with everything and is so comfy.” And according to another customer who called them “cute, comfy, and chic,” these are versatile enough to wear casually and to the office.
Cariuma Salvas Sneakers

Cariuma’s Salvas white leather sneakers are timeless, versatile, and a go-to for editors and celebrities. Brooke Shields just wore this exact pair, and according to InStyle editor Eva Thomas, the sneakers are so comfortable, you can walk 20,000-plus steps in them. “They’re made from a soft, supple leather…[and] have a cork and bio-based foam insole that feels like you’re walking on clouds,” she wrote, adding that she’s been living in her Salvas for months. And according to another fan, these are so comfortable they even keep plantar fasciitis “in check.”
