What to look for in white sneakers for women over 50
Before you go searching for the best white sneakers, there are a few key things you should keep in mind—especially if you’re a woman over 50. As we age, our feet age with us, and with that comes along a greater possibility of developing a foot condition like plantar fasciitis or bunions. That’s why it’s so important to choose the right shoes that are supportive and comfortable to not only help relieve your foot pain, but possibly prevent it from happening in the first place.
White sneakers with arch support
If you suffer from flat feet or plantar fasciitis, white sneakers with arch support is a must. Shoes with arch support helps to mimic the natural arch your feet may be lacking.
White sneakers with cushioning
Sneakers that are too “flat” or “thin” won’t be comfortable to wear for long periods of time, and you want a pair that will last all day. Therefore, make sure you’re choosing white sneakers that have adequate cushioning that is supportive and comfy. Your feet should feel like it has quite a bit of cushioning underneath that will keep your heel and foot raised.
White sneakers that are easy to clean
White is one of the easiest colors to get dirty, so when choosing white sneakers, you’ll want to ensure they can easily be cleaned. Look for materials like leather or faux leather, which makes wiping off scuff marks or dirt a breeze, or if opting for fabric, make sure they are machine-washable or easy to spot clean.
