This 'Ugly' Slip-On Sneaker Might Be Summer's Hottest Shoe—and They're Now on Sale for $37
Shoe trends come and go. But I think we can all agree that the slip-on sneaker should stay.
Unlike the "ugly" shoe trend, slip-ons are accessible, uncontroversial and just plain practical. Summer days are supposed to be as easy as a Sunday sea breeze but often turn into a cluster of running from errands to backyard BBQs to beach bonfires.
You need a shoe ready for anything that takes zero time to slip on. Celebs from Ina Garten to Gigi Hadid have been slipping into slip-ons, proving the trend transcends generations.
On Amazon, one style is a step ahead of the rest: The Hey Dude Wendy Lace-Up Loafers are Amazon's best-seller for women's loafers and slip-ons.

"Where has this shoe been all my life? I am going to NYC for vacation, and I wanted to find some good comfortable walking shoes that wouldn't have me limping at the end of the day...I got these shoes...I'm very much a slide person until I can't be. This was the first shoe that didn't cause issues. They were comfortable. Good inner pad...do like that my feet don't get too hot in these. The inside is not scratchy at all. I'm happy I took a chance on these shoes and so are my feet!"
"In my never-ending quest for comfortable yet stylish shoes to wear to work, I came across Hey Dudes. The reviews are great as far as comfort goes, but being a girly-girl, I was skeptical that they would pass my style test. Well, these little shoes are super comfortable. They pass the style test, too. So, if you're on your feet all day, have plantar fasciitis or are just looking for something comfy, these are perfect. Oh, and they are spot on for wide widths, too," gushed another.
"I adore these shoes. [I've bought] five pairs so far. — the lightest, softest, most comfy I ever had. The color and design are also my fave," said a 5-star, 5-peat customer. Hey Dude Wendy Lace-Up Loafers, $37.91 on Amazon
