The Best Men’s Leather Sneakers You Can Buy
(2022 Update)
No matter what time of year it is, leather sneakers are every guy’s key to mastering the smart casual look. Think of them as your Trojan horse: while the timeless sneaker silhouette lends a laid-back look to your outfit, quality leather can send the subtle signal that even though you look casual, you still put a lot of effort into your look (even if you didn’t). Walking that tightrope between casual and formal can be tricky, but with the right pair of leather sneakers, you’ll soon be walking it with ease.
Below are our picks for sneakers to help you take your favorite outfits to the next level. Stylish but never sloppy, upscale without being pretentious, these quality sneakers are sure to become your closet’s new best friends.
Best Classic Leather Sneaker: The White Premier Low Top ($129)
If you’re looking for a tried-and-true favorite, you can’t go wrong with a white leather sneaker, and our White Premier Low Top represents everything we love about this look: clean lines, comfortable Vachetta leather insoles, and long-lasting Italian nappa leather uppers. Whether you’re sporting blue jeans or a new suit, this classic design (also available in black leather) is sure to put a little extra spring in your step.
Best Brown Leather Sneaker: The Old English Premier Low Top ($129)
