Fashionable comeback for unattractive orthopedic footwear - would you spend £600 on a pair?
Ugly shoes by Dr Scholls and Crocs surge in popularity this summer
Looking for quirky, comfortable footwear this season? Look no further than Dr Scholls and Crocs. These not-so-attractive footwear options are making a comeback, much to the delight of fashionistas across the globe.
Thanks to the 70s boho revival, these practical shoes that were once pharmacy staples are now expected to become the height of style this spring and summer.
The iconic style of Dr Scholls, the Pescura design, is characterized by a flat wooden sole and a leather strap crisscrossing the toes. A pair can be purchased for approximately £117. Some pairs are even selling for exorbitant prices, as designer brands jump on the style trend.
Dr Scholls has teamed up with several major fashion houses to create pricy new options. Among the designers collaborating with the orthopaedic brand is Balenciaga, which created an "ugly chic" shoe line. Actress Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted wearing a pair, prompting fans to admit they liked the style.
There are six different pairs in the Scholl x Balenciaga line, including heeled versions of the Pescura design. The priciest pair from this collection costs a staggering £625. According to Demna Gvasalia, Balenciaga's former creative director, the aim was to create "the most comfortable heels ever made."
Another designer collaboration is the Scholl x Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini option. Philosophy is a diffusion line from the extremely upmarket Italian label Alberta Feretti. Among the options available in the range is the Mary Jane Clog Philosophy x Scholl, which retails for £600.
Before their recent renaissance, the Pescura shoes were considered unfashionable. However, the comfortable, quirky designs are set to win over a legion of new fans. Even actress Sarah Jessica Parker has been spotted wearing a pair on the set of And Just Like That.
