Martha Stewart is faithful to this quietly practical shoe trend

Statement shoes are always my answer for making a boring outfit more interesting. It’s a highly effective, hassle-free hack that I swear by, and it’s also something celebrities reach for all the time. In fact, there’s one trend in particular that stars keep coming back to, and Martha Stewart has proven that it’s also super practical.

Metallic shoes have been on trend since last year, when A-listers like Stewart started swapping out their black heels for mirrored pumps. This summer saw Jane Fonda and Katie Holmes make the style more everyday in silver Mary Janes, but Stewart made the trend even more wearable by wearing sparkly gold sneakers at the Paris 2024 Olympics, which provided the perfect pop of color for her all-white look.

Stewart’s metallic sneakers are the most comfortable way to elevate any everyday look, from jeans and a T-shirt to a slouchy maxi dress, so we’ve found 10 shiny sneakers, starting at $32, that will help you emulate her style.

Naturalizer lace-up sneakers

Recreate Stewart’s Olympic style with these champagne gold sneakers from Naturalizer. This leather style is designed with a comfortable wedge platform that gives the shoe a soft, everyday look. Naturalizer shoppers love that the shoes “elevate even the most casual summer outfits,” with some noting that they’re also super comfortable, right out of the box.

J.Crew metallic field sneakers

If silver is your thing, pick up these low-profile sneakers from J.Crew on sale for $80. The sleek design and shiny, almost reflective silver color give this style a super cool and modern vibe. One fan calls them “cute and functional,” explaining that she wears the “chic” sneakers to work, events where she knows she’ll be on her feet for long periods of time, and even for walks.

Samba OG sneakers

Gold and silver may be the most common metallics, but they’re not the only options. If you’re looking for a bit more color, consider Adidas’ famous Samba sneakers in a metallic seafoam green. It might sound like too much, but the color intensity is very subtle and the shoes have an almost opalescent texture that gives these trendy cool-girl shoes a really special vibe.

Vince Camuto Genly Platform Sneakers

You can also take a more subtle approach to the metallic trend, adding small touches here and there, and Vince Camuto’s on-sale sneakers do that perfectly. The shoes come in both white and cream with silver and gold detailing on the heel and toe. It’s a small but effective splash of color that makes the classic sneaker look a little more chic than your typical all-white sneaker, while still being surprisingly easy to style.
