Product Type: Sneakers

An air cushion sneaker is built around its heel: a pocket of air under the part of your foot that lands first. La Sheelah's Skip-11 sets that sole, about 1.5 inches high at the heel, under a silver lace-up upper of mesh and man-made panels.

  • 1.5 inch heel. The air unit raises the back of the shoe, which adds a little height too.
  • Mesh upper. La Sheelah describes the mesh as breathable, the reason this style suits warm months.
  • Silver finish. A metallic neutral that works with black leggings and with denim.
  • Lace-up hold. Snug for a long walk, looser for a flight.

What an Air Cushion Does

Every step starts at the heel, and that first contact is where an air cushion works. La Sheelah describes the sole as shock-absorbing and the shoe as lightweight, and names walking, standing, travel and everyday wear as its uses. Read that as the brief: a sneaker for long days on hard floors, airports, trade shows and city sightseeing, more than a shoe for the track.

Silver Sneakers With Everyday Outfits

Silver is easier than it sounds, because metallics act as neutrals. With black leggings and an oversized sweatshirt the shoes are the one bright note. With light denim and a white shirt they look clean and sporty. Under a satin skirt or a knit dress they take the formality down a step, which is often exactly what the dress needs. Skip a second metallic competing for attention: let the sneakers be the only shine and everything else falls into place.

Choosing and Lacing Your Skip-11

La Sheelah lists Skip-11 as true to size. It is made in US women's 5 to 10 with half sizes up to 8.5, so a 9.5 orders the 10. Man-made uppers do not stretch with wear, so the fit on day one is the fit you keep. If your heel moves when you walk, use the top eyelets for a runner's loop: thread each lace through the last hole on its own side to make a loop, cross the ends through the opposite loops and pull. It locks the heel without tightening the toes.

Rain, Mesh and Long Days

Are air cushion sneakers good for standing all day? That is the use La Sheelah names for this style: walking, standing and travel. Cushioning under the heel helps most on hard floors such as tile and concrete. Pair it with a sock that has some padding under the ball of the foot, since that is where the pressure moves when you stand still.

Do mesh sneakers work in the rain? Mesh lets water in as easily as it lets air out, so treat this as a dry day shoe. If you get caught out, fill the toes with paper and let the pair dry away from heat. They dry faster than a solid upper for the same reason they got wet.

What do silver sneakers go with? Almost any color, because silver reflects what is around it. It is strongest with black, white, gray, navy and pastels. With warm earth tones such as rust and mustard, add a cool piece near the shoes, like gray socks or light denim, to tie them in.
