Every item on this page was chosen by a Town & Country editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.

Running shoes, sleek white kicks, and classic high-tops for putting your best foot forward this season.

Once a week, we ask our editors to share the items they've been loving or lusting after—whether it's a new skincare product we're dying to try or a travel essential we can't live without. Consider "The Weekly Covet" your editor-approved wish list for beauty, travel, fashion, and everything in between.

"Margaux's shoes are famously comfy, and their sneakers are no exception. The design is simple and minimalist while the monochrome styling and the leather uppers makes them luxe." — Lauren Hubbard, Contributor

"I prefer a sneaker that gives me a little extra height. Both to elongate my legs and keep me as far away from the New York City pavement as possible. These Converse are perfect with a pair of jeans or a dress this summer." — Sarah Carbonaro, Freelance Fashion Assistant

"At one point in my life, stylish sneakers meant low heeled Manolo sling backs. Then I wore these Santonis to the airport and was completely hooked. They are sleek enough to feel like a flat, and are designed more like a shoe than a sneaker, but trust me I ran to catch more than one flight in them." — Stellene Volandes, Editor in Chief

"Old school? Yes, indeed. Also, they're impervious to NYC pavement wear and tear." — Norman Vanamee, Articles Director

"I honestly wear these sneakers almost every single day. They might be neutral and comfy basics—but the platform also helps them elevate almost any outfit." — Ana Osorno, Social Media Editor

"Sporty, sock-like support, and of course eco-friendly, I couldn't love my Nisolo knit sneakers more. The perfect shoe to sport while seeing the sights. With shock-absorbing breathable insoles, and a rubber sole for traction, not only can this shoe be counted on to fulfill your strictest sustainability requirements, but it fulfills the promise that the factory workers who make the shoes receive livable wages." — Roxanne Adamiyatt, Senior Lifestyle Editor

"If I'm hitting the gym or pavement, I always gravitate towards my Hokas. Pillowy soles met with a breathable upper make for a summer-perfect sneaker. This pair has me leaving my others in the dust. They're just that good!" — Marley Gifford, Freelance Fashion Assistant

"Lightweight, perfect for someone who is on their feet all day, and great for traveling. On top of that, they are super comfy and stylish. What more could you ask for?" — Ashleigh Macdonald-Bennett, Deputy Managing Editor

"I’m always looking for a retro style sneaker and the Blazers are one of my favorites. I’ve been wearing these on heavy rotation this summer but they would be warm enough into early fall.” — Michael Stillwell, Senior Designer

"Choosing the right pair of running sneakers is a marathon of trial and error. Currently on the docket, a pair by APL Athletic Propulsion Labs, the now nearly 15-year Los Angeles-based performance wear brand. The verdict is not yet in but on looks alone it's a hit at Hearst's The Club gym. Right, Nick?" — Erik Maza, Executive Style Director

"I have basically been wearing these Staud x New Balance sneakers non-stop since I bought them earlier this year. They are comfortable enough to walk all over the city, and cool enough to solicit consistent compliments." — Breana Crews, Freelance Fashion Assistant

"I'm with Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle on this one: Veja are the coolest sneakers around. I have amassed quite the collection over the years, and my feet still make a lot of use out of them!" — Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor
