It’s an unfortunate reality that a lot of high-fashion, luxe-looking shoes are like a bad boyfriend — all looks, no support. As much as we want to believe they’ve got our foot health (and sanity) in mind, we’re often left disappointed, wishing there was something beyond the stunning appearance.
No amount of wishing can make an uncomfy pair of kicks comfy, but getting the right shoes in the first place can! If you’ve been on the lookout for a supportive rich-mom sneaker that doesn’t break the bank, you’ve come to the right place — we’ve been compiling some of our favorite old money-looking picks that feel like walking on clouds, even when you wear them all day long. Walking season is coming up, so you might as well do it in a sophisticated fashion!
These 12 flat sneakers from stores like Zappos, Nordstrom and Amazon are ten times as luxe and comfortable as your current go-to pair for half the price. No need to thank Us! Read on for our top expensive-looking finds.
