The crisp fall air and crunchy leaves meet you every morning now. It's important to meet the moment by dressing appropriately for the season. But most of us invest in only one pair of shoes every few months, so we need versatility.

We need colors and textures that will transition smoothly across multiple holidays. Luckily, there are specific colorways of trendy shoes that can achieve that goal. Below are ten sneakers (in alphabetical order) that we are wearing from fall into winter.

adidas Handball Spezial
