Kickoff Trainer Sneakers

Reviewers are obsessed with these neutral trainers...like, there are actual claims that this v pair has changed their lives. If that's not convincing enough, IDK what is.

Rave Review: "These are the perfect balance of a chunky sneaker without being a full-on dad sneaker. And they are SO comfy! I wore them all day walking through the city and my feet never hurt. On my screen I couldn't tell if the light tan section had a blush hue to it, but I was happy to find that it's a true taupe (love the neutrals!) I was surprised with how heavy the shoes were out of the box, but once on my feet I couldn't tell they had any weight. These also give a bit of height (maybe an inch or so) from the thicker platform sole - just as an FYI."
