Jennifer Garner ranks high on the celebrity relatability scale. Her fanbase adores her down-to-earth nature—showcased in a long career’s worth of delightful interviews and, more recently, her Farmer Jen and “Pretend Cooking Show” social media content. She’s a mega-star, of course, but she’s also someone you feel like you could gab with over a coffee on your morning stroll. And when she’s not walking red carpets in designer duds, she’s known for keeping it casual in jeans, tees, and sneakers. (Paparazzi always seem to catch her mid-stride on a brisk walk in comfy kicks.)
The 52-year-old actor and mom of three has told SELF that she’s “pretty emotionally beholden to a morning workout and getting some cardio in” to set the tone for her day. And when it comes to exercise shoes, it would appear that she’s also beholden to one brand in particular. We rounded up every pair of sneakers Garner has been spotted in recently—and after recognizing a few pairs from our own closets and best-of lists, we feel even more confident that her “‘normal person”’ aura is for real.
Find your faves from Garner’s top-notch sneaker collection below, and you’ll be ready to channel this comfy shoe queen on your next hot girl walk.

1. Brooks Women’s Glycerin 21
Garner loves this 2024 SELF Sneaker Award winner so much, she has it in (at least) three colorways. The Glycerin 21 was named our Best for Recovery and Easy Runs sneaker, making it the perfect shoe for a post-workout walk or low-key jog. (Garner has partnered with Brooks as a brand ambassador in the past.) With a cushy, supportive sole, it brings plenty of stability to the table, and fits right in with the chunky sneaker trend that seems to be here to stay. Plus, if (like Jen) your athleisure go-tos are black or neutral, these Brooks are a great way to work in a pop of color.
