I couldn't live without my best white trainers. Particularly in the last few years, the popular footwear has become a wardrobe must-have. The most versatile shoes you'll ever own, they are comfortable and can be worn with pretty much all your outfits to achieve a relaxed and laidback vibe that works from day to evening.
Finding the most comfortable trainers will transform how you dress every day, and even more so if they're go-with-everything white. They'll be practical if you're on your feet all day, and they will add a casual edge to any look. Loved by royals, celebrities, and the fashion set, the best white trainers transcend dress codes, seasons, and age, plus they are a subtle and elegant choice. You might call them the ultimate wardrobe staple.
Between myself and several other members of the woman&home team, we've narrowed the huge amount of choice down to just six favourites. We've thought about comfort, fit, style, and how easy they are to keep clean, but we've also considered the very best brands and the different occasions you'll want to wear white trainers for. How you might style them - from the best jeans for your body type to midi dresses and tailored trousers - was, of course, at the forefront of our minds too. We've tried and tested all six, so we know we can confidently say they deliver on comfort and quality. We hope you'll love them as much as we do.
We're updating these deals every day through Amazon Prime over the 8th-11th July 2025 every day, to ensure you get the best possible prices.
Best white trainers deals
The quick list
adidas Stan Smiths are nothing short of iconic. The simple white trainer has been on the scene for over 50 years and there is no outfit they can't enhance. I tested these myself, but our Beauty Editor Aleesha Badkar loves them too. She says: "unlike some other white trainers that can start to look a bit worn really quickly, the Stan Smiths keep their polished look wear after wear. I also think the rounded shape is really flattering, and they offer great support for walking around."
FitFlop burst onto the scene with its toning flip-flops, but has since developed a shoe empire, taking its clever comfort-led technology to a whole host of silhouettes. These white Rally trainers - in a classic 'tennis shoe' shape - are a bestseller, and it's easy to see why. They're lightweight, with a slip-resistant sole and FitFlop's flexible Anatomicush midsoles. These are the white trainers you'll wonder how you lived without.
The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low top trainers have long been considered a classic with good reason. As with the Superga Cotu, these feature a canvas upper best suited for dry weather, meaning these will really come into their own in summer. Our tester Antonia crowned them the top option if you're looking for white trainers to wear with dresses. And she's living proof of this - she even wore them on her wedding day!
Trinny Woodall is a big fan of Russell & Bromley's platform trainers, and these are a slightly lower 'flatform version', which I found to be easier to wear on a day to day basis. They're a bit of an investment, but when I put these to the test I came to the conclusion they're worth every penny. They're sleek enough to wear to the office or as comfortable wedding guest shoes and I didn't expect to love the slip-on element so much. It's ludicrously convenient!
These white trainers come with a royal seal of approval. The Princess of Wales wears Superga's Cotu canvas lace-up plimsolls, so if you like the way Kate Middleton dresses, these could be the sneakers for you. The flat trainer is a nod to classic gym plimsolls. They're lightweight but sturdy, offering all-day comfort with a neat silhouette. And the best part? They're super affordable.
Retro sneaks is one of the biggest trainer trends 2025, and Reebok's Club 85 will help you lean into the look. Our tester Molly thinks they're perfect for pairing with denim, and they were comfortable from the start - which is rarely the case with new trainers. Sienna Miller and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley are both fans of the Club C range, and you can often find great deals on these, making them one of the more affordable picks on our list.
Best white trainers for women: tried and tested
Best white trainers overall
I tested these myself, and when I say tested, I mean I've been wearing them for years. I own several pairs - because when you find a pair of trainers you really love, you should stock up, right?
This minimalist design is super versatile, and the thing I really love about these is that they're an iconic style that continues to dominate, whatever the trainer trends of the moment. They're also so easy to wipe clean, and with a new pair of laces every once in a while, they'll look pretty close to box fresh.
For me, the only drawback is the long tongue - I find it can cut into the front of your foot, but you can easily push it down underneath the laces. I have read that other people don't find they have enough arch support, so if that's something you're after, the FitFlop Rally is the most supportive style on our list.
I've worn them to do thousands of steps, including days at work, going away for a city break or walking the dog. They're the style I always come back to, and would recommend to friends. My all-time favourites, for sure.

Most supportive white trainers
Future's Lucy Searle knows her stuff when it comes to trainers. She's tried countless brands, and although she was a fan of FitFlop's sandals, the Rally style was the first time she tried their trainers.
Rest assured, if they look a little heavy, Lucy says they're extremely lightweight. Hers had suede panels, but you can buy entirely leather or canvas versions too.
The Chelsea Flower Show was a bold choice to walk them in. That's a long way and a lot of steps! She has mild plantar fasciitis in both feet and potentially arthritis too, but she called these "springy", and said that even after twenty thousand steps "my feet felt nowhere near as achy as usual. For me that’s the biggest sell." They looked fabulous with a floral print midi dress too.
As with all FitFlop designs, these have got all the tech you'd hope for. They're "ergonomically engineered to help optimise your body's alignment", boast natural arch support and have an average to wide fit.
In Lucy's experience, marks came out with a damp cloth so they're a style that will work hard in your wardrobe for a long time.

Best white trainers to wear with dresses
Freelancer Fashion Editor Antonia Kraskowski jumped at the chance to rave about her favourite trainers. The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Low Top sneakers are, in her opinion, the best white trainers to wear with dresses. So much so that she wore them on her wedding day!
The low profile is flattering as it finishes below the ankle bone, and the standard canvas material version adds minimal bulk to your foot, resulting in a sleek and streamlined look. They're incredibly versatile, and you'll find yourself reaching for these day after day.
The canvas style is extremely low maintenance, since you can throw them in the washing machine, and the price point makes it the most affordable option in our shortlist.
Antonia points out they're a must for holidays, particularly if you're only packing hand luggage.

Best slip-on white trainers
These were another style I tested myself. My expectations were high as I've owned some impressive pairs of Russell & Bromley trainers before now, and I certainly wasn't disappointed.
With their 4cm flatform sole, the Park Mid is a lower version of the 6cm platform trainers Trinny Woodall loves so much. I think this is a more wearable style, and are easier to work into your everyday wardrobe. What surprised me most is how lightweight they are - I expected the chunky sole to weigh me down!
I also really loved the slip-on design. It made me realise I actually always find laces a bit of a faff. What do we do with them nowadays, tie them in a bow and tuck them in? They're always too long and discolour quickly, particularly on white trainers.
The silver leather detailing on the heel added to the premium finish of these trainers, which are spot on if you're looking for smart casual outfit ideas. They're definitely smart enough to wear for work or with tailoring, but casual enough to elevate your joggers for errands too.
At £195, these are the most expensive trainers on our list, but they really are worth it if you consider the cost per wear, plus I did my research and found that similar platform trainers do tend to cost a bit more - like the Air & Grace Sadie trainers, for example.
The grained leather is beautiful, but easy to clean too. Like the other leather styles on this list, they wipe clean, and without laces to wash, I feel they look significantly fresher than styles I've worn for a similar length of time.

Most affordable white trainers
woman&home's Fashion Writer Molly Smith considered herself to be a bit of a newbie when it came to trainers, as she could never make them fit with her sense of style. These classic canvas Supergas certainly changed her mind!
Although these don't have a plush padded insole like some others, they still offer enough support for daily wear. Molly took them on a trip to Ibiza, and called them "comfortable enough to see me through a train ride, airport security, and flying overseas, and of course I wore them whilst exploring the island too."
They're incredibly lightweight, and really quite affordable too. The RRP might be £65, but you can very often find discounted prices on Amazon, for as little as £30.
You can wash these in the machine, and they are a favourite of Kate Middleton's, which is testament to how stylish they are.

Best retro white trainers
Retro trainers have been a huge trend lately, and of all the nostalgic styles on the market, the Reebok Club C 85 trainers came out on top for us.
One of the best British clothing brands, Reebok is throwing it back to the Eighties with this casual but classic trainer. Woven into the design, the brand's Reebok logo on the side gives this pair a heritage feel that offers a vintage aesthetic to your look. If your everyday wardrobe always includes jeans, Molly said they are "almost made to be paired with denim".
They have a soft leather upper, a low-cut design, a padded foam sock liner, and a durable rubber outsole. But be aware that they can come up small, so we'd recommend sizing up. Molly said they were so comfortable, she "barely noticed them on my feet".
She did, however, point out the fit is slightly narrower than the others on our list, so they're not ideal for anyone with wider feet. Another thing to note is that they slip slightly at the back, so perhaps an insole would help.
Unlike the slim, sleek white trainers on this list, these are the best white trainers for an everyday sporty feel.

How we tested the best white trainers
First things first, we did our research. We thought a lot about the most popular white trainers on the market, which are highly rated by customers, and which styles did our fashion team really recommend. Between us all, we've worn a lot of white trainers in our time!
The adidas and Converse were all no-brainers, as several of us had tried them and loved them.
Finding trainers to suit everyone is a tricky task, so we made sure we thought about a variety of styles and needs. Lucy, for example, has plantar fasciitis, and Molly wasn't a big wearer of trainers before now. The Superga changed her mind!
Check out how we test trainers for more on the process, but these were the main factors we considered when road testing each trainer:
Comfort and support: We ask a lot from trainers, but of course, comfort is key. From running errands to doing your 10,000 steps, we weren't shy in putting the trainers through their paces. We thought about arch support, cushioning, whether they were true to size and if there was any initial break-in period.
Style: White trainers are there to work with lots of different outfits, so we considered which silhouettes would work with jeans, and which were perfect for teaming with dresses. We evaluated the quality and finish of each design, and thought about which are in vogue right now. Retro trainers are everywhere, so the Reeboks were a good fit, but of course, we wanted classics that would go beyond trends.
Cleaning and care: This is a dealbreaker when it comes to the best white trainers. How easy they are the clean is key to their longevity, and we all love trainers that look like they're fresh out of the box.
How to choose the best white trainers
"The trainer trend isn't going anywhere this season. In fact, the global sneaker market is set to reach a whopping $30 billion by 2030, so if you've previously stepped away from the look, now is the time to invest," says Hannah Eichler, stylist, writer, and fashion lecturer. "The trick is to look for never-date styles which will lend themselves to your entire wardrobe," she adds.
We recommend you look to brands with expertise in the field, such as adidas, Converse, and Superga, over fashion retailers, as they will have the technical know-how to craft comfortable and supportive sneakers, and whose signature styles have proven longevity.
If you have wider feet or need extra support, check out brands such as Birkenstock and Fitflop, which specialise in comfort fits with nods to classic styles. You want to invest in a pair of trainers that you could happily wear all day without pain, so it's worth spending a little bit more to get the perfect fit.
Aside from comfort, you will want to consider which pair of white trainers will best suit your lifestyle. Do you want a bit of a platform to add height, or do you need a flexible sole that is designed for being on the move?
The best white trainers for you are the ones that you can see yourself wearing for years to come. If you like the minimalist look, a pair of all-white, sleek lace-ups will probably be your best investment. But if you have a slightly bolder fashion sense, a pair of trainers with a subtle pop of colour or brand logo will suit you better.
The ones that just missed the list
We started with 21 styles on the list, which, as you can imagine, was tough to whittle down to just 6.
The Veja V12 was probably the first runner-up. woman&home's Health Editor Grace Walsh rated them really highly, telling us: "I've had my pair for about three years now and I love them - they're durable and only get comfier with age, and can be wiped clean after wading through most weather conditions." Veja has a strong focus on transparency, fair trade, and social and environmental responsibility, and uses ecological and sustainable materials - ideal if you're shopping more consciously. It also offers good quality vegan-friendly styles made from leather alternatives that will pair perfectly with white jeans outfits.
Styles by AllBirds, Vans, Bobbies, New Balance and Lacoste were all on the shortlist too, but the white trainers we decided on scored more highly. You'll notice that all six on our list got 4 stars or more from our reviewers. The bar was high!
How to make the best white trainers last
Of course, white trainers need some upkeep to maintain that box-fresh look - and preventing stains as much as possible is better than fixing them. So with that in mind:
- Avoid wearing your best white trainers on wet weather days, as even the rain can stain a white trainer.
- Steer clear of mud and grass.
- Big city centres can also increase the grime attracted to bright white shoes.
However, if you do get white shoes dirty, don't panic, they can often be revived. “Taking care of your trainers is essential to look after your investment. Avoid using the washing machine, which will break down the glue and cause trainers to become misshapen," explains Eichler. Instead, check out our instructions on how to clean white shoes.
