Matching Couple Shoes: His and Hers Sneaker Ideas

The easiest matching couple shoes are one design in two versions: the black pair for one of you and the white pair for the other. You still look like a set, and each of you gets your own look. If you'd rather wear the exact same shoe, nearly every pair we sell comes in both men's and women's sizes.

Matching Sneakers for Couples: One Design, Two Colors

Black and white versions are the simplest way to match, because the artwork stays the same and only the base color changes. Our red, gold and green sneakers are a good place to start, since those colors already look like they belong together. These are the pairs we'd look at first. The Jamrock Low is our low top and the Jamrock High is our high top.

  • Rasta Jamrock Low: a black version with red laces and a white version with white laces. Both have a green toe trim and gold and red panels.
  • Lion of Judah Jamrock Low: black or white, with the same lion on the side and gold and red at the toe.
  • Jamaica Map Jamrock Low: JAMAICA over the island map on the side, in black with black laces or in white with gold laces.
  • Denver or Cleveland on the Jamrock High: Denver's basketball pair comes in navy or white and Cleveland's in wine or white, with gold at the toe on all four.

One Listing, Two Looks

The All White IrieTrod Low, another of our low tops, does this from a single page. Pick White in the INSOLE COLOR option and the whole shoe is white. Pick Black and you get the same white upper with black laces, black lining and a black sole. Order one of each and you have a matching set that's easy to wear with anything.

His and Hers Sneakers in the Same Design

If you'd rather wear the same shoe, order the same pair twice in two sizes. Men's and women's here only describe the size scale, so each of you can order whichever one gives you the right length.

On Jamrock and IrieTrod pairs you choose Men's or Women's with the STYLE option. Rebel Sole and TrenchTown pairs list both together, like 8 Men / 9.5 Women. A few pairs aren't offered in both, so check the size list before you settle on a design.

One High Top, One Low Top

Some designs come in two heights, so you can match the artwork and still each pick your own cut. The Santa Suit design comes on the Jamrock High and the Jamrock Low, in red with a black belt and a gold buckle. Many of our football city designs do the same, like Kansas City.

Couple Shoes With Two Flags or Two Cities

You don't have to wear the same design to look like a pair. If you come from two places, wear the same model in two flags. Our Rebel Sole mid top comes in Jamaica's green, gold and black, and in Trinidad and Tobago's red and black, along with many other countries. The shape matches, and each of you carries your own flag. Rebel Sole pairs can't be exchanged for size, so measure carefully.

The same idea works for two home cities. Pick the same model in each city's colors.

Put Each Other's Name on the Pair

Our sports, city and soccer pairs have an Add a name box on the product page. For $10, your text replaces the name printed on the shoe, exactly as you type it, up to 14 characters and with no mockup. You could each wear the other's name, as long as you check the spelling first. We can't print pro, college or league team names.

Matching Couple Outfits With Sneakers

The shoes carry most of the match, so the rest can stay simple: jeans and plain tees in a color from the shoe. For a full set, look at our Jamaica tracksuits. The Irie Stripe comes in black and white versions with green and gold on the jacket and pants, in XS to 4XL, and you pick the jacket and pants sizes separately. They line up well with the black and white Jamaica Map pairs above.

Tracksuits have their own timing and rules. They're made in 2 to 7 business days, then US delivery takes 6 to 9 business days. They can't be exchanged for size, so use the size chart on the tracksuit's page before you order.

A multi-item order can ship in separate packages and arrive on different days, at no extra charge. If you're planning around a date, leave room for that.

Matching Couple Gifts for Christmas and Valentine's Day

A pair for each of you makes one gift that you both get to wear. The Santa Suit pairs suit Christmas, and any black and white set works for Valentine's Day or an anniversary.

Pairs in our existing designs are made and shipped within 3 to 8 business days, then US delivery takes 5 to 12 business days, with tracking. Holidays can stretch both steps, and we don't offer express shipping inside the US, so order early for a date that matters. We can't promise an exact delivery date once a package is with the carrier.

How to Order Two Pairs

Measure each of you first. Our guide on how to measure shoe size shows the two ways to do it at home. If it's a surprise, borrow a pair they already wear and measure the insole. Then add each pair to your cart with its own size. US shipping is free on orders of $75 or more.

Every pair is made to order, so we can't take returns for a change of mind or the wrong size. Many pairs come with one free size exchange, one size up or one size down, and the Returns section on the product page says whether yours does. It's one exchange per order, not per pair, so two pairs on one order share it.

Ask within 7 days of delivery and send the pair back unworn in its original packaging. You pay the return postage. The 7 days start on the day it's delivered, so try both pairs on indoors as soon as the box arrives, even if they're a gift for later. If a pair arrives damaged, defective or wrong, tell us within 14 days of delivery and we'll replace or refund it.

Jamrock and IrieTrod pairs come with at least 2 pairs of laces and a zip-top shoe storage bag as free extras, while supplies last. A few designs get a colored insole in place of the second pair of laces. Rebel Sole pairs come with one pair of laces in a regular shoe box.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best matching shoes for couples?

One design in two versions is the easiest place to start, like the black and white Rasta Jamrock Low. You match without wearing identical shoes, and each of you can pick the color you'd wear anyway.

Can a couple wear the same shoe in men's and women's sizes?

Yes. Nearly every pair we sell comes in both. Men's and women's only describe the size scale, so each of you can order whichever one gives you the right length.

Can we put our names on matching shoes?

On our sports, city and soccer pairs, yes: tick Add a name on the product page. It's $10 and we print it exactly as you type it, with no mockup. For anything more than a name, we also make custom pairs, and those start with mockups.

Will two pairs arrive together?

Not always. A multi-item order can ship in separate packages and arrive on different days, so leave room if you're planning around a date.

Does each pair get its own size exchange?

No. On pairs that have it, the free size exchange is one per order. The window is 7 days from the day it's delivered, so check both sizes when the box arrives.
