I Walked 50,000+ Steps In These Comfy Sneakers Last Weekend (& My Feet Didn't Ache Once)

It's not often that I rack up 50,000+ steps in a single weekend—but it's not every day that you're touring the sunny streets of Chicago for a friend's bachelorette. Naturally, I realized only one pair of shoes could have gotten me through days of walking without any aches: my Cariuma Salvas.

The sustainable sneakers have been a staple in my summer wardrobe, taking me through 12-hour days at music festivals, long walks across the Brooklyn Bridge, and, yes, multiple weekends with 40,000+ steps.

I own a lot of white sneakers (and my roommate would argue that it's time for a closet clean-out). But there's a reason I continue to replace my classic white Cariuma Salvas like clockwork every summer.

The comfy style combines a sleek silhouette with just the right amount of cushioning to ensure each step feels supported. Unlike running shoes, the cushioning is never destabilizing—and the sturdy rubber outsole only further adds to that stability.

What's more, every element of the shoe emphasizes sustainability, from the leather upper sourced from LWG-certified Gold Rated tanneries to the ethically tapped rubber from Brazilian rubber trees.

Of course, the fit is my absolute favorite part of the style. I have a wide foot, so my toes are often smushed against the outer edge of a shoe's upper.

It's one thing to swear that I swear these shoes a lot—it's another to give a long list of all the ways these sneakers have supported my movement goals throughout the years.

There's a reason I'm consistently recommending the Cariuma Salvas. The supportive style hasn't let me down after more than three years of regular wear—and I replace them annually for a reason. And thanks to some nifty negotiations, I even have the exclusive 20% promo code MBG20 just for mindbodygreen readers.
