It makes perfect sense why most shoppers don’t spend a small fortune on sneakers, no matter how appealing each season’s luxury offerings may be. While your designer handbag and high-end cashmere sweater can hide under an umbrella, your poor shoes must come in direct contact with the elements all spring. Even ELLE editors aren’t immune from the appeal of affordable sneakers; a good majority of our all-time favorites are under $150.

ELLE fashion editors’ sneakers clock their fair share of miles, so we understand what separates a good sneaker from a truly great one—and it’s not just looks. Our picks for the best sneakers under $150 have the quality, durability, and versatility it takes to remain a wardrobe cornerstone for seasons to come. From long-time celebrity favorites to cult-favorite soccer shoes, comfortable classics, and emerging street style stars, shop our go-to trainers below.
