These lace-up Maddison sneakers for women
From Target’s A New Day brand, these sneakers are cute and comfortable, thanks to the lace-up design and rounded toe. They pair well with comfy sweatpants or a cute sundress, taking you from class to late-night study sessions to weekend adventures with ease.

A pair of shimmery Skechers for women
Sporty and stylish, these S Sport By Skechers sneakers are perfect for everyday walking, jogging and working out. Plus, if they get dirty, you can throw them in the washing machine on a cold water gentle cycle. We love the hint of shimmer woven into the knit mesh, and the fact that you can just slip these shoes on and off – the memory foam insole doesn’t hurt, either.
