Some days, the notion of leaving the house in anything other than a sweatshirt and sweatpants appears like a genuine nightmare. However, occasionally arises the desire to wear a captivating outfit, even if the sole event on your schedule is taking your dog for a walk. On a leisurely stroll with her pet, Tank, Sydney Sweeney embraced the transition from spring to winter in a knitted beige shorts set and long ivory coat. But the standout element of the ensemble? Her sneakers with chunky pink soles.
A little exploration on the Internet reveals that the unattractive yet cute shoes in question are the Sorel Kinetic Breakthru Tech Lace sneaker (Purchase It, $130, zappos.com), a lightweight walking shoe that customers claim is as comfortable as it is stylish. With a breathable, permeable exterior and lightly cushioned sole, the Kinetic Breakthrus deliver a cushioned sensation and bouncy spring with each stride. The shoes’ scalloped soles also provide grip and stability, making them an excellent option for hiking and trail walking as well. Moreover, with a thick, 1-inch platform, these sneakers will add enough height to make everyone around stand up a little straighter. (Pssst: Here are some polishes to imitate Sydney Sweeney’s nails.)

Not to mention, three adorable color schemes including Tranquil yellow/chalk, white/chalk, and Sydney’s choice, chalk/eraser pink add style to a casual look, particularly as the weather warms up (and everyone stops wearing black all the time). But the greatest part? Other shoppers can affirm that these fashionable platforms are worth the investment.
One customer who purchased these before a trip to Disney World (i.e. a lot of walking from ride to ride) said these shoes were comfortable right out of the box. Another shopper who rarely ever buys shoes online made an exception for the Kinetic Breakthroughs — and wasn’t disappointed. “The quality is outstanding — very well constructed,” they wrote, adding,”They are very lightweight and look great.” (Want more comfortable shoe recommendations?
