Remember when you’d only wear sneakers during your commute? Glad those days are in the rearview mirror. Now there are tons of stylish options that go from casual Fridays straight into the weekend.

These retro-style sneakers from Saucony are both fun and comfortable. The breathable mesh and nylon uppers are reinforced by suede overlays, and the cushy soles allow you to walk all day. There are 14 color combinations (I especially like the fall-looking ones like rust/green) so you can find your favorite.

The Saucony Shadow is $100 or $99.95, depending on the color, at Zappos and comes in women’s sizes 5–13.5. Men’s sizes are also available.
