Jennifer Garner's calls these 'very, very comfortable' sneakers her 'favorite'
She wears them when she 'wants to be super cute.'
When I think of celebrities who seem genuine and totally down to earth, Jennifer Garner comes to mind. The actress and mom of three is always sharing her relatable wins and woes on social media, like her several morning alarms for getting up in the morning or her "Pretend Cooking Show" videos featuring her baking in her pajamas. And while she always looks glam on a red carpet, her casual everyday looks are the ones we want to copy most. Case in point: Garner recently shared her favorite pair of sneakers, and of course, they're totally cute and extremely comfortable.
In an interview with Prevention, she shared that if she "wants to be super cute," she wears her SeaVees Royal Runners (particularly the white ones with a red and blue ribbon stripe on the side). "SeaVees are my favorites. Their color combos are amazing and they are very very comfortable. I love them,” she said.

Garner's go-to shoes feature a nylon and suede outer, plus a unique webbing on the sides that's been a brand stand-by since the original SeaVees shoes of the '60s.
SeaVees' Royal Runner is a casual sneaker in a classic silhouette that never goes out of style. It's inspired by '70s running shoes (when Nike's running shoes, like the Cortez, started growing in popularity). And like a running shoe, it actually offers support with a memory foam footbed, a bouncy midsole, and a very slight rock in the sole to propel you forward as you walk (as opposed to a flat-soled shoe). The shoes also have a grippy rubber outsole to provide traction and help you stay on your feet.
Garner isn't the only fan, either. Shoppers love the Royal Runners too — so much so, that many sizes of her go-to white pair are currently sold out. Luckily, they come in other colors like black, green, blue, red, gray and more on the brand's website and at Amazon.
"They are the most comfortable shoes I own," said one customer in the reviews before adding, "I am on my feet a lot."
"Holy smokes a comfy shoe," stated another. "As I approach 45, my feet hurt in all shoes it seems. I read about these in an article for most comfortable shoes, [so] I bought them. And boy am I glad. They are light, flexible and the padding is like walking on clouds. Where have these been all my life? Standing, no pain. Walking around, no pain. Excited to buy more soon."
Another happy customer shared: "Best feeling shoe I’ve put on in a while! Have some feet issues (bunions), and even with my inserts, the shoe is roomy, fabric flexible and super comfortable! Have already ordered another pair!"
However, if you want to try them, some reviewers say they run small and recommend choosing a half size up from your normal size.
Garner has been spotted wearing her SeaVees Royal Runners with jeans and an oversized sweater, but you could also wear them with leggings, trousers, skirts and more. Hey, there's nothing wrong with mixing style and comfort — like Garner, we actually prefer it.

The black color is perfect for the fall and winter seasons (and they're available in more sizes than the white ones).
