When it comes to functional fashion, Joanna Gaines always has something unexpected to offer. So when we saw her show off one of her go-to summertime footwear in a recent Instagram post, we immediately took note.
On May 12, the Fixer Upper star shared a behind-the-scenes look at her upcoming collaboration with Loloi Rugs, wearing a puff-sleeved sweater, high-waisted jeans, and super-supportive platform sandals.
While every piece Gaines wore reminded us of styles she’s worn before, we couldn’t help but notice that her sandals were especially perfect for warm summer days — which is why we decided to track down a similar pair on Amazon.
The Dream Pairs Platform Wedge Sandals look almost identical to Gaines’ strappy sandals, and they’re currently on sale for $31. Available in nine discounted colors, including a dark brown color similar to the HGTV star’s pair, the wedge sandals have received a perfect score from over 2,400 customers.
Reviewers rave about the shoes’ cushioned microsuede insoles and adjustable ankle straps. They’re durable and comfortable enough to handle a “nine-hour workday.” Some users say they can wear them “all night long” without any pain.
Available in sizes 5 to 11, the thick-soled heel of the sandals adds a touch of height to any look without sacrificing practicality. While Gaines paired them with classic blue jeans, customers say the sandals would also pair well with dresses, skirts, slacks, and even shorts.
One five-star reviewer purchased the shoes for a wedding and said they felt like “walking on clouds,” while another shopper wrote, “I could literally walk miles in them without pain.”
“I have Achilles tendinitis and need a summer wedge sandal to wear to work,” the final customer shared. “These sandals are so comfortable and don’t look like orthotics. I even wore them to visit a museum last weekend and my ankle didn’t hurt at all!”
