There are plenty of athleisure outfits that can transition from the gym to evenings out – but can we really say the same for shoes? (Spoiler: we can). This fall, the NORTIV 8 ActiveFloat Women’s Breathable Athleisure Walking Sneakers have been my saving grace; the perfect blend of functionality, comfort and style with an actually affordable price at $45. After a few weeks of breaking them in – without any blisters, mind you – these are now deemed my sneakers of choice for a trip to Disneyland. Let’s get into it:
The NORTIV 8 ActiveFloat sneakers fit true to size, even if you have wider feet – and that I do. The shoes hug your feet with just the right amount of snugness, offering a supportive fit that doesn’t pinch or cause discomfort. The lightweight feel of the shoe is immediately noticeable; it’s soft, plush and cushioned thanks to the high-bounce EVA midsole. This feature makes the ActiveFloat sneakers a great choice for people who might need to minimize impact on their knees, whether for casual walking or more demanding activities. The shock absorption can also reduce the strain on joints and will hold up well on longer walks or even full days on your feet.
These sneakers are not just about function; they look great, too. The dense, plain-weave mesh upper is both breathable and sleek, making these shoes a versatile part of any athleisure wardrobe. Whether you’re pairing them with leggings or casual joggers, the shoes can complement a variety of outfits without sacrificing comfort. (Definitely bringing these on my upcoming Disneyland trip!) The range of color options, from understated neutrals to vibrant pinks and purples, allows for a personalized style that fits your preferences. I personally love how my grey pair works effortlessly with nearly any outfit in my wardrobe.
What really sets the NORTIV 8 ActiveFloat sneakers apart is the unbeatable price. Everything costs so much these days, that spending $100+ on shoes is somewhat expected. With this brand, however, at around a reasonable $45, they offer premium-level comfort and durability at a fraction of the cost of other high-end athletic brands. For this price, you’re getting a shoe that not only performs well but also lasts through daily wear.
The NORTIV 8 ActiveFloat sneakers have to be on your radar for an affordable athleisure look and completely worth the investment for anyone seeking comfortable, supportive and stylish footwear that can be worn across a variety of settings. They’re breathable, slip-resistant, comfy, cute and budget-friendly. Without a doubt, they’ll be the first thing I pack.
