And, when you think about it, there are great looks for everyone, no matter what your personal sense of style happens to be, from laidback classic Vans to ultra-trendy Puma Fentys.
So, ready to scope out some of the best sneakers for women? Read on for 18 cool kicks that you can definitely wear to work.
