We know grandpa sneakers are in right now, but our fashionista friend Katie Holmes has taken the ugly shoe trend to new heights. . . or trails, we should say!
The star had been seen Last year I wore open-toe walking sandals, a maxi skirt, a cashmere sweater, and a designer bag, officially making “luxe-looking dad sandals” a thing. Other celebrities like Gigi Hadid have rocked the polarizing dad sandal look ever since, proving the trend is still alive and kicking!
Holmes’ sandals were a pair of Chloé x Teva sandals, but number one, they would cost $575, and number two, they’re out of stock anyway! Consider it a blessing in disguise for your bank account, though, because we found a few bestselling Amazon sandals that are strikingly similar to those of the designers — without the hefty price tag.
These sporty sandals are designed for walking and hiking, with a lightweight, contoured footbed and a soft microfiber cover extra cushioning. The midsole uses Eco Fluidform Direct Comfort Technology to give these sandals a stable, flexible feel, while of course remaining ultra-comfortable, supportive and trendy!
For added stability, these shoes have a rugged rubber outsole for traction on all types of terrain – including plain concrete if you plan on wearing them for the style like Holmes. Smooth linesnearly invisible stitching and sleek nubuck leather material are just a few things we love about this classic sandal, making it easy to pair with almost anything in your current wardrobe!
And thanks to the fully adjustable straps at the bottom and the adjustable straps at the top, you can customize these sandals to your own wishes. Reviewers love the fit, style, versatility, and support of these sandals, calling them “excellent quality,” “great for active people,” and the “best-fitting shoe,” with many grabbing a second (or even third!) pair.
We can all thank Katie Holmes for making such a comfortable shoe trendy.
