Buying Women’s Sneakers

Around 1892, the U.S. Rubber Company produced the first comfortable sneakers with rubber soles and a canvas upper. These were called “Keds.” In 1917, Marquis Converse launched the first shoe designed specifically for basketball. Soon after came the famous Chuck Taylor All-Star sneakers, named after basketball star Chuck Taylor.

In 1924, sneakers went global when German Adi Dassler founded a shoe brand called Adidas. His brother Rudi started his own brand shortly after – Puma.

In the early 20th century, sneakers were mainly worn for sports. It wasn’t until the 1950s that young people began wearing them as a fashion statement.

By the 1990s, sneakers and sports shoes were already part of everyday street style – worn with jeans and shorts. Today, they’re everywhere and have become one of the most popular types of shoes.

It’s no surprise – women’s sneakers are sporty, cool, and incredibly comfortable. They come in endless styles, and Steenbergen Schoenen offers a wide range – from sporty and unique to timeless and classic.

Of course, we stock popular colors like black and white, but also the latest seasonal shades. Our top brands are often ahead of the trends, so you’ll always make the right choice.

Women’s Sneaker Brands

At Steenbergen Schoenen, you’ll find beautiful designs from top brands like trendy Nubikk, edgy Blackstone, and the ultra-comfortable Gabor. Women’s sneakers are now true fashion items, designed in ever more unique styles – combining materials like metallic, patent leather, and suede, with accents like studs, straps, and glitter.

Today’s sneakers come in all shapes and sizes: from high-tops to low-tops and from size 36 to 44 – so even women with smaller or larger feet will find their fit here.

Sneakers Are Easy to Style

Back in the day, sneakers were mostly sporty and casual. Now, they’re completely accepted in all settings – even in business environments, as long as they’re styled well. Think of a sleek jumpsuit, a smart dress, or a tailored suit paired with stylish sneakers – chic, yet cool and sporty.

For casual looks, they’re even easier to style: with long or short trousers, jeans, dresses, or even a tracksuit – anything goes.

If you want your sneakers to blend into your outfit, go for a neutral color or one that matches your clothing. Or, make them the star of your look by pairing a simple outfit with brightly colored or patterned sneakers.

Women’s Sneakers with Removable Insoles

Many brands now offer sneakers with removable insoles – ideal if you wear orthotics. Some brands, like Gabor and Durea, also offer sneakers in different widths, so there’s always a perfect fit.
