Adolescence is an ideal stage to experiment with fashion, try new combinations, and take risks with different styles. By around 16 years old, many already begin to define their aesthetic identity, and by the time they reach university, that style is usually clearer and more relaxed.
So, if you’re about to start classes or return to campus, today we bring you a selection of ideal sneakers for going to university, combining comfort, style, and functionality.
What sneakers should have for going to class
When we go back to classes, we spend long hours on the move: walking around campus, waiting in the metro, sitting in class or the cafeteria, having schedules with several free hours…
That’s why it’s key to choose comfortable sneakers for students, offering good support, cushioning, and a stable step. The good news is you don’t have to sacrifice style: even the most urban and streetwear models can be perfect for everyday university life if they have good ergonomics.
