A few years ago, dad shoes became the "popular item leader" on the streets due to their unique thick soles and bulky design. They could be seen with both pants and skirts. However, fashion trends change quickly. This year, "trainer shoes" have made a strong comeback and seem to be overtaking dad shoes, becoming a common sight everywhere.
After being popular for a while, many drawbacks of dad shoes have gradually emerged. For example, the thick design that was once popular is now one of the reasons people "dislike" them. They are really heavy to wear, like dragging two small sandbags with each step, and you feel tired quickly after walking for a while.
Moreover, during the hot spring and summer seasons, when we wear light clothing, matching dad shoes creates an unbalanced "top-light, bottom-heavy" look. They also trap heat in the feet – you start sweating shortly after walking.
Trainer shoes, on the other hand, avoid these problems. They have a simple and lightweight design without the bulky feel. The thin soles make walking light and comfortable, and they don’t rub your feet even after long-term wear.
Trainer shoes are also highly versatile. Whether paired with simple jeans, literary floral skirts, or capable suit pants, they blend perfectly with any outfit.
