Trust me, I'm a shoe connoisseur.
Shopping — or getting dressed — for a new season can be hard. It’s like this: You’ve been doing something one way for a long time (ahem, four-plus months if we’re talking about winter). Then, all of sudden, you have to totally flip the switch and do it differently — the “it” here being how you dress yourself. It’s hard and can take time, but with the right guidance (me!), it’s possible to tackle this transition with ease.
I’ve advised plenty of my friends on how to take their wardrobes from winter to spring and summer, so much so, in fact, that I now, like clockwork, get a text this time of year that says, “Eva, help me!” Everyone’s style is different, so I have varying tidbits of advice for each person, but the one thing I’ve told everyone to get for the season ahead, no matter their age, style preference, or budget is Cariuma’s famous leather Salvas sneakers. I swear by them year-round, and they just so happen to be on secret sale for InStyle readers only; use the code INSTYLE25 to get 25 percent off for a limited time.

Having a good white sneaker on hand has basically become as essential as having a trusty black (or white) tee in your drawer. Both are the building blocks of a good outfit, and while it can be quite overwhelming to find the best of the best of both, I can confidently say Cariuma’s white Salvas are, in fact, superior in every facet, big and small. That’s why whenever someone asks me what they need for spring, I say Salvas!
They’re made from supple, LWG-certified leather that requires zero break-in time — and that can’t be said about many other white sneakers. I am, in fact, quite the sneakerhead, which means I’ve tried my fair share of crisp kicks that have, for lack of a better word, felt crisp (aka, tight, hard, and just plain uncomfortable). Salvas aren’t like that, which is the biggest reason I’m such a stan, but besides that, I’m also very in love with the bouncy, natural-rubber sole, the removable cork insole, and the fully-stiched design that ensure long term durability.
My fiancé is totally obsessed with them, too, as is my sister and my best friend. And as a note, we all have very different tastes, but we all agree Salvas are superior. Add in the fact that Brooke Shields was recently spotted in them while traveling (Alexandra Daddario is also a fan of the style), and there’s really no reason not to love them.
As a final cherry on top, the brand never has sales, but right now, you can save 25 percent off all styles with the code INSTYLE25 at checkout. So, yeah, this is an opportunity you don’t want to miss. Shop the spring-perfect sneakers I swear below, along with a few other popular Cariuma styles.
