We all know that a well-rounded shoe collection requires sneakers, but the last few years have proved the importance of a stylish and versatile pair that can be dressed up or down.
While I have a few options that fit the description, I couldn’t help but seek out a chunky pair with metallic detailing, especially after seeing celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence wearing the style everywhere.
My search brought me to Madden Girl’s Playy Sneaker, which come in both silver and white and are currently on sale for 39 percent off. I’ve now worn these shoes multiple times ranging from morning walks with my dog to styled with leggings and an oversized sweatshirt for fall to running weekend errands in midi skirt and graphic T-shirt for a more elevated but casual look.
Right out of the box, I was impressed with how comfortable they were while requiring no break-in period. After weeks of regular wear, the cushioned sole still feels supportive, and they never gave me blisters. The chunky dad style means these have an oversized sole, which I find feels more noticeable when wearing the shoes — they actually look pretty slim on your foot. In my experience, the thickness makes the shoes feel stable and definitely adds to the comfortability.
Now is an ideal time to jump on the metallic shoe look that I’ve been seeing everywhere. Celebrities including Helen Mirren and Jane Fonda have incorporated silver footwear into their looks, and the style doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.
The sneakers can be spot cleaned for easy maintenance, and I’ve already found that dirt or spills easily wipe off of them. I have been wearing these to walk my dog along a dirt-covered path, and I am impressed that they still look good as new.
