Men's sneakers, made to last

Some sneakers are bought for a single season, others are chosen for the long run. Van Lier men's sneakers belong firmly in the second category. They go with you from the first meeting of the day to Friday evening drinks, from the city to the countryside.

Our most popular men's sneakers

A men's sneaker says something about the person wearing it: understated and refined, or relaxed and sporty. Every model in the collection has its own style. These are the six most popular styles at Van Lier:

  • Positano sneaker: a last that follows the natural shape of your foot and a comfortable walking sole, for a fit that feels right from the very first step.
  • Anzano sneaker: a flat sole with a slight heel and a striking tricolour outsole, from tread to heel.
  • Romeo sneaker: the modern successor to the Positano, recognisable by its slightly more sculpted sole.
  • Ravello sneaker: builds on the Anzano with a refined tread that adds extra grip, suitable for all ages.
  • Magnus sneaker: a great foot shape combined with a slightly flatter upper and a flat, tricolour sole, for a sleek look.
  • Novara sneaker: inspired by the classic tennis shoe, yet a simple, top-quality sneaker that goes with everything.

Sneakers for every moment of the week

There's hardly an occasion where these men's shoes don't fit. On a busy workday, you'll want well-fitting, polished sneakers for the office. Wearing sneakers with a suit to a wedding? Go for a smooth leather dress sneaker. At the weekend, choose a casual pair for a relaxed day in town.

Why choose Van Lier sneakers?

Some sneakers look good, others feel good too. Van Lier sneakers do both, thanks to a number of carefully considered choices. Here's what sets them apart:

  • Premium materials: from the soles to the leather, only the finest materials make it into these luxury sneakers.
  • Removable footbed: adds extra cushioning underfoot and is easy to swap out if you'd like to use your own insole.
  • Full leather lining: naturally regulates moisture, keeping your feet feeling fresh.
  • Handmade sneakers: crafted by hand in Portugal, with attention to every detail.
  • Outstanding fit: the shape of every sneaker draws on generations of expertise, for a fit that feels right straight away.

Sneakers in every colour you need

Every colour in the collection tells a different story. White sneakers for men go with almost anything and look fresh and clean. If you're after a little more contrast, blue sneakers add a subtle accent to your outfit. Black sneakers for men remain the safe choice, and you'll also find brown, beige and grey in the collection.

What are our men's sneakers made of?

Material determines not only how a sneaker looks, but also how it feels to walk in. One looks sleek and polished, another casual and understated. These are the materials you'll find in the collection:

  • Men's leather sneakers: a high-quality, smooth and glossy finish that gets better with age and moulds to your foot.
  • Men's nubuck sneakers: a refined, brushed texture that gives the sneakers a premium, luxurious look while still feeling casual.
  • Men's suede sneakers: supple Italian suede with rich depth of colour, giving your sneakers a soft finish.

Frequently asked questions

Can you put the sneakers in the washing machine?

We wouldn't recommend it. Leather, nubuck and suede lose their shape and finish in the washing machine, which is exactly what you want to avoid with a shoe that's made to last.

Which sneakers fit wide?

All of our sneakers have a standard fit. The difference lies in the sole. A sole with a heel or a contoured footbed changes how your foot sits when you stand. Thanks to the removable footbed, you can easily swap it for a thinner or thicker insole, so you get a fit that suits your foot exactly.

How do you clean your sneakers?

Start by taking out the laces and brushing off dust and dirt with a soft brush. Clean smooth leather with a damp cloth and a neutral cream. Suede and nubuck need a special brush and a protective spray. Then let the sneakers dry at room temperature, away from direct heat.

What socks should you wear with sneakers?

With casual sneakers, wear no-show socks so the shoes themselves take centre stage. Going for a sporty or streetwear look? Classic white crew socks that sit just above the ankle are a great choice. For work or a smarter occasion, pick a thin cotton or merino wool sock in a colour that matches your trousers.

Do the sneakers fit true to size?


Almost every model has the same fit, and our sneakers fit true to size. The only difference is the collar around the ankle. On some models it is high and softly padded, on others it is low with a clean, straight finish.
