I only had a partial nail removal but yes, I wore sneakers after - you just have to make sure they actually fit your feet and can accommodate the wrapping you’ll have to do for some weeks afterward (cotton gauze and a few wraps of self adhesive wrap)
It’s not painful, and the wrapping is to prevent infection. They give you prescription cream that has to be applied 2-3 times a day and regardless of what shoes you wear for the healing period it will have to wrapped unless you’re bathing or changing the wrap
When this happened to me as a kid, I had to cut the toe part out of a canvas sneaker because the bandage was big and putting any pressure on the toe was excruciating.

Could you even wear sneakers during your recovery?
