Joanna Gaines has long proven that she knows a thing or two about comfortable footwear — and her latest look was no exception.

On March 18, the interior designer shared a snap on Instagram that saw her “mentally escaping” an escape room while wearing a sleeveless blouse, wide-leg jeans, and, most notably, a pair of supportive-looking platform sandals. While platform shoes aren’t new — stars like Katie Holmes and Jennifer Aniston have both sported chunky footwear in recent weeks — Gaines’ stylish pair offered a fresh take on spring-ready sandals that comfortably took her outfit up a notch, both literally and figuratively.

Platform sandals add a polished touch to outfits that regular sandals or sneakers can’t always provide. Plus, they’re incredibly easy to dress up or down depending on the occasion: Style the shoes with jeans and a T-shirt for a day of running errands, or pair them with a floral sundress for a wedding guest look that’s as fashionable as it is functional.

We rounded up platform sandals similar to Gaines’ at Amazon, Zappos, Nordstrom Rack, and DSW, and prices start at just $19.

Available in six shades, including a brown color that looks so similar to Gaines’ pair, these shoes have a suede-covered footbed and adjustable ankle strap for a custom, comfortable fit throughout long days of wear. In fact, one reviewer even noted that they wore them during a “nine-hour work day” without any pain.

“I’m seven months pregnant and could literally wear these every day,” a separate reviewer wrote. “I want every single color because they look good with all outfits. They’re sturdy and oh-so comfortable. No break-in time.”

For those looking to add slip-on platform sandals to their shoe rotation for spring and summer, consider grabbing this pair from Zappos that impresses even “die-hard Birkenstocks” fans. Shoppers prefer how the shoes’ padded footbeds adjust to your feet for a “super comfortable” fit, and multiple reviewers noted they wore the sandals “right out of the box” for hours at a time. Take after Gaines’ look by picking up a brown pair, or choose from five additional colors, like red, bronze, and gray.

“I loved these shoes so much, I immediately ordered them in black, too,” one reviewer wrote. “So light and comfortable, and they look fantastic. The (adjustable!) straps extending out are a nice touch.”

These sandals are available in sizes 4 to 11 and come in 18 colors and patterns, including trendy snake print and Gaines-approved brown, should you want to join one shopper in grabbing “every color.”

“I’m a teacher and am on my feet seven to eight hours a day, [Monday through Friday],” one reviewer wrote. “These shoes have felt like walking on clouds all day today.”
