Casual Spring Shoes for Women Over 40
Classic White Sneakers

White sneakers are a spring wardrobe essential. They go with just about everything—jeans, dresses, joggers, you name it! Plus, they instantly make any outfit look fresh and put-together.
If you’re all about comfort, look for pairs with cushioned insoles and good arch support. Leather sneakers are a great pick if you want something easy to clean, but I love the relaxed vibe of canvas sneakers too.
Slip-On Sneakers

If you’re always on the go and don’t want to fuss with laces, slip-on sneakers are a total lifesaver. They’re comfy, practical, and perfect for travel (hello, easy airport security checks!).

Ballet Flats
Ballet flats are a fantastic way to add a touch of polish to any outfit without sacrificing comfort. They’re lightweight, easy to slip on, and perfect for days when you want something dressier than sneakers but just as effortless.
These are one of the more modern versions – a slingback ballet flat. Slingback flats have become my favorite type of summer shoe because they are low and comfy, but very elegant.
For maximum comfort, look for styles with padded insoles and flexible soles.
Mary Janes
Sweet Mary Jane flats are a huge rend right now. They come in every color, print ( animal print is fun) and texture (mesh is popular) you can imagine and work really well with jeans or an easy dress. These are a good way to feel comfy and also look right in style. Choose from leopard print, mesh,
Loafers

Loafers are a step up from ballet flats in terms of structure and support, making them a great choice if you’re looking for something a little more polished. They’re stylish without being stuffy and can instantly elevate any casual outfit.
Go for classic leather loafers in neutral shades like beige, taupe, or blush for a spring-ready look.
