Contrary to popular belief, during fashion week month, the biggest flex is not in wearing needlepoint stilettos à la Carrie Bradshaw. It's actually showing up to the most prestigious events wearing comfortable footwear most have deemed "ugly." It's the ultimate test of one's styling abilities, to take a universally disliked shoe and make it feel worthy of the industry's biggest designer shows.
Throughout the years, fashion editors have applied this method of dressing to Birkenstock slides, Asics sneakers, Ugg boots, and even Crocs (courtesy of Simone Rocha). And as of this season, Sorel is officially the next functional shoe to get a stylish re-brand with a collaboration you can shop now at Nordstrom and Shopbop.
