Most folks limit the fashion staple color palette to just black, white and navy. However, “nude” shades, relative to different skin tones, fall within this range as well. In fact, some would say they’re even more essential than any other.
With this in mind, earth-tone sneakers have been a fashion staple for decades, with so many styles being versatile enough for day and nightwear. If you’re looking for the perfect earth-tone sneaker to add to your wardrobe, these seven picks are the right place to start. And, best of all, they’re sure to compliment any outfit you put together from your closet.
From the buttery, full-grain leather Koio Capris in Mocha to the machine-washable and extremely comfortable Rothy’s RS01 sneaker, these seven carefully selected picks are the perfect addition to your current shoe collection.
1. Koio Capri In Mocha, $268
Koio is one of the leading brands in premium footwear, and its Capri sneaker in Mocha is one of the most beautiful, streamlined sneakers we’ve seen.
In addition to its simple and classic silhouette that pairs perfectly with everything from jeans to tailored trousers, these sneakers boast a rich, dark chocolate brown hue that’s hard to find.
Handmade in Tuscany, Italy, these shoes have a built-to-last design thanks to their buttery, full-grain leather body and tonal laces. Also, they don’t just look stunning — they’re comfortable, with rubber soles that put the right amount of bounce in your step.
2. Koio Capri In Truffle, $268
This second pick is also in the Koio Capri family. However, they’re hand-crafted in Italy from LWG Gold-certified sustainable suede. This means the hides are responsibly tanned in facilities that safely and carefully manage emissions, energy and water consumption and waste.
In addition to their sustainable creation that’s gentle on the planet, like the first leather pick, these are incredibly comfortable and feature a sleek silhouette. Also, this truffle hue perfectly melts with any color you pair it with.
3. Rothy’s RS01 Sneaker, $175
I’ve said it time and time again, the Rothy’s RS01 sneaker is, hands down, one of the most comfortable everyday sneakers I’ve worn to date. They’re perfect for running through the airport, commuting, or on a night or day out. Not only are they massively versatile, but they’re as sustainable as they come.
Knit from Rothy’s signature thread that’s spun from plastic water bottles, these sneakers are environmentally-friendly and, best of all, require no break-in thanks to their flexible upper. These also have a contoured footbed and a terry-lined tongue for a supportive structure that makes you feel like you’re wearing slippers.
As with all Rothy’s products, these are fully machine washable. So when they get dirty, simply toss them whole into the washing machine, and they’ll be good as new!
Snag this muted Chalk hue for the perfect neutral look.
4. Cole Haan GrandPrø Turf Sneaker, $119.95 (Orig. $150)
Cole Haan’s GrandPrø Turf sneaker is one of its best-selling shoes — and has been for years. Available in medium and wide widths, these sneakers feature an upper made of leather and suede. They also have hand-stitched detailing and a cushioned tongue and feel for the best comfort right out of the box.
Like the Rothy’s RS01 sneakers, these are perfect for those who are constantly on the move and need a fashionable shoe that has some give and isn’t restricting. Plus — the Ivory Tumbled-Stone Suede hue is the perfect spring and summer color.
5. Clae Bradley Sneaker In Doe Leather, $150
The CLAE Bradley sneaker is another pick that’s a favorite among those who believe that less is more. The retro-inspired sneakers sport a gorgeous monochrome design that looks clean and sleek, making them the perfect finishing touch to any outfit for any occasion.
This Doe Leather pick is bright enough to pair with shorts and a button-down for brunch and trousers and a jacket for dinner. Play around with them! They’re sure to go with everything.
6. CLAE Bradley Sneaker In Cafe Nubuck, $150
If you like the CLAE Bradley sneaker but prefer a darker, smokier hue, the Cafe Nubuck shade is right up your alley. These are also made of leather and feature a neoprene heel accent that CLAE has perfected over the years. The flat nylon laces also add to this clean and streamlined aesthetic.
7. Custom Chuck Taylor All Star Leather, $95
This last one isn’t for everybody, but if you know, you know. Converse Chuck Taylors are classic and timeless. Also, contrary to popular belief, they actually can go with anything if styled correctly. Another factor that comes into play when styling Chucks is the color.
If you want a more sophisticated but relaxed look, opt for a muted and neutral hue, like this brown shade. As many know, these are as comfortable as they come, and they add just the right amount of edge to any look.
