Let’s talk about dad’s shoes!
In simple terms, dad shoes are chunky, retro-style sneakers that you might picture a dad wearing. They’re known for being both comfortable and practical. Although they’ve been around for a long time, they reached a peak in popularity in 2019. Their charm lies in their versatility, allowing you to dress up or down while staying comfortable. Here are two models that we currently have our eyes on.
New Balance 530
New Balance, an old hand at creating dad shoes, has demonstrated through recent designs that it knows how to refresh a product in a way that everyone will admire.
The New Balance 530 is quickly becoming everyone’s essential go-to sneaker, blending the best of both worlds: half dad shoe, half sporty runner. Engineered for running, these sneakers provide outstanding support and comfort exactly where it’s needed. With their mesh and lightweight synthetic build, the New Balance 530 ranks among the most breathable sneakers available.
Among the most durable sneakers in the New Balance lineup, these are crafted with a retro aesthetic. The style is available in several colours, including options with accents of green, yellow, or red. Whether you pair them with running shorts and a sweatshirt, or a coordinated workout set, these sneakers are easy to slip on and head out with without worrying about matching your outfit.

Asics Gel-1130
The ASICS GEL-1130, originally released in 2008, shares design elements with the GEL-Kayano 14, which also debuted that year. Typically featuring a mesh base and leather (sometimes reflective) overlays, the GEL-1130 has become one of the best-selling models in the ASICS catalogue.
Whether walking around town, going to work, strolling in the park, or even running to catch a bus, the GEL-1130 consistently meets expectations. This dad shoe from ASICS provides all-day comfort and stability, making it a reliable companion. Its supportive structure ensures a secure fit, preventing heel slippage and offering excellent traction on various surfaces.
Although it may feel a little stiff to some, the retro design and cutting-edge technology make it an excellent option for people looking for both comfort and safety.
