It also doesn’t hurt that, no matter how you style them, the best dad shoes are an investment in your foot health. Here, KLAW has you covered: The 528 is meant to support your foot no matter how long you walk while giving you all of the Adam Sandler summer vibes for just under $150.

KLAW 528, $148
Best for walking and general everyday wear, KLAW’s signature sneaker is the ultimate dad shoe in both style and practicality. It features incredible arch support, a waterproof leather exterior, and a lightweight midsole that absorbs the shock at every step. The 528 doesn’t just protect your arch and by extension your back (perfect for those of us with flat feet), it also stabilizes the ankle with extra cushioning at the heel so you’re not left totally sore after a full day of moving around the city. Think of it as a chunkier, arch-support version of New Balance or a more high-end, foot-doctor-approved Reebok.
Comfortable all day, even for the most weary travel foot.
KLAW Reviewer
The chunky sneaker comes in four colorways: Gamma White (a true white shade), Aero Grey (a cool grey shade), Hello Yellow (a bright cool yellow), and Kuiper Black (a true black shade with gold details). 151 shoppers rated it a 5 out of 5 stars average, with reviewers saying it’s “comfortable all day, even for the most weary travel foot.” One reviewer even said they recommend it after knee surgery, saying they needed a supportive shoe and “these fit the bill perfectly,” describing them as “comfortable, supportive, and great looking!” The styling potential is truly endless. Take your pick of matching the white ones with dresses, the grey ones with jeans, or the black ones with literally anything. Whether you’re looking to join the white dad shoe collective or you simply need a supportive and comfy walking sneaker, the KLAW 528 will keep you striding in style wherever you need to go.
