I second Cole Haan, Sperry, and Suoerga if you have a narrow small foot.

White, comfortable, machine washable.

I miss Keds when they were still well made and not cheap crap.

Any recommendations for Keds but better and more up to date?

Don’t know about up to date, but Taos makes shoes that look like Keds that are awesome (have awesome Taos quality & arch support).

Vans. Duh

Anyone have some more recent recommendations for shoes to wear with dresses??

I tried my dd air forces and they look like orthopedic shoes on me.
Id love GoldenGoose but $500 is too much!
Veja? Stan Smith? Tetorn?
Which Allbirds do you like?

Sneakers do not look right with maxi dresses. Regular, low profile Keds MAYBE but still not really

+1. Plus Taos has some shoes that look just like Supergas, but have better support.

I had some Taos that looked just like Keds (Keds are too narrow for me) but I just went to look and can’t find them anymore.

The problem with Stan Smiths is that you have to keep them pristine or they don't look right. I love them but am not fastidious enough to keep white sneakers unscuffed at all times.

I like Vejas. Also if you don't want to look too brand-conscious, check out Cole Hahn Crosscourts. No one will know what they are but they will still look right on trend. I always recommend these for people who complain that their sneakers look "orthopedic" because they have a low, slim profile while being more substantial than Bensimons or Keds. It's a great versatile sneaker. And come in lots of colors.

DP. I've had my Stan Smiths for years and worn them all over the place, including Paris and Rome. They are still spiffy white, which actually amazes me. Love them.

I’ve been wearing these all summer and think they’re great

Yes! I'm seeing a lot of high tops. Haven't bought any yet because I'm just not a white sneaker person (alt teen grown up), but haven't found a pattern I love.

Also, love the gold slip ons someone else posted above, and I think a leopard print vans-style slip on goes with anything.

I say this as one of those “women of a certain age!”

Unless you’re Helen Mirren, in which case, you go.

That being said, I did get a pair of these, inspired by Helen Mirren, although I haven’t worn them with dresses (yet, everything is a muddy mess and I don’t want to muck up my new shoes!)

Thank you, this post made me laugh in recognition.

I wear slip on black Nike shoes. They look similar to vans but are solid black with white at the bottom. Some of us can’t wear sandals or heels. You could also try wearing pants that flare a little. Another option is the white gym shoes with a heel at the bottom… similar to keds…
