Women's sneakers: city shoes
Instead of wearing your old pair of volley in the city, choose a women's sneaker made for the streets: comfortable sole for walking, stylish design, and your indoor shoes keep their grip for the matches.
The page features sneakers in women's or unisex styles, low or high tops, plain or colourful, which can be filtered by brand and size.
A city sneaker is not a court shoe
A sneaker is made for walking, on the tarmac and the sidewalks. Its sole, flat or thick, lacks the lateral grip and cushioning needed for jumps and landings in volley. Playing in them exposes you to slipping and sprains. Conversely, wearing court shoes outside wears down the rubber and gets them dirty, which reduces grip on the court.

Low silhouette, retro or thick sole: choosing your style
A low and slim silhouette, like a Breaknet, goes with everything. The retro style, like a Stadil or a Classic Leather, recalls bygone sports shoes. The thick sole, like on the Streettalk Bold, elongates the silhouette and gives a more modern look. Choose according to your wardrobe.
Leather, suede or canvas: material and care
Leather can be cleaned with a damp cloth and lasts a long time. Suede requires a special brush and a waterproof spray. Canvas, being lighter, can be cleaned with soapy water. A white sneaker needs regular cleaning to stay fresh.

Getting your sneaker size
A sneaker is taken in your city shoe size, not in your volley shoe size, which is often larger. Try it on at the end of the day with thin socks. The heel should not slip, and the toes should have a bit of space.

Frequently asked questions
Can a unisex sneaker fit a woman?
Yes, if the size is available. A unisex fit can sometimes be a bit wider. For a narrow foot, a women's fit holds the heel better.
How to keep white sneakers clean?
Clean them as soon as a stain appears, using a soft brush and soapy water. A protective spray helps limit dirt buildup. Laces should be washed separately.
Are thick-soled sneakers comfortable?
They cushion well when walking on the tarmac. They are a bit heavier than a slim sneaker. They are often appreciated for long days on your feet.
Can you wash sneakers in the machine?
It is not recommended for leather and suede. Some canvas sneakers can withstand it, on a cold wash and without spinning. Always check the label first.
Do you need socks with low sneakers?
Invisible socks prevent rubbing without being visible. Going barefoot can damage the inside of the shoe due to sweat. Socks are still the best option.
