Animal-Print Sneakers Are Everywhere RN—Including the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

If Adidas is your go-to sneaker brand, these python-print kicks should be on your radar. Not only are they a particularly chic example of the latest shoe trend, but the style—a recreation of a 1960s icon—is also praised for its comfort. It has garnered more than 500 reviews from shoppers who confirm they can “wear them all day at work” without foot pain. It’s no wonder; they feature a sleek low profile, breathable perforations and a removable insole if you want to add your own custom pair. Now that they’re on sale, you’ll want to snag them fast.

Dr. Scholl’s has a star-studded roster of fans that includes the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker and Jennifer Aniston. And lately, the brand has done a fabulous job of taking its famous foot-cradling technology and applying it to modern styles that don't just feel comfortable, but fashion-forward, too. That said, you can’t go wrong with these leopard-print leather platforms, which put a fresh spin—and a 2-inch boost—on a classic sneaker silhouette. As you would imagine, they come complete with a cushy insole designed to provide plenty of arch support, so they are definitely made for walking.

I never thought I needed a pair of waterproof leopard-print kicks in my life until I came across this pair. There's no question whether they'll transition seamlessly from summer to fall and even winter, due to their mixed-panel construction. Not to mention, the cushioned EVA footbed should make them as comfortable as they are cute. But you don't just have to take my word for it. One buyer wore these on a trip and shared, "It rained almost every day, and we walked at least six miles a day. These sneakers were comfy, supportive and kept my feet dry." Autumn showers, you're on.

Leave it to Kate Spade to design a pair of sporty-cool sneakers that up the ante on the luxury front. For starters, they feature a plush calf hair upper with suede accents, adding textured dimension to the already visually striking design. It's complemented by a confetti-inspired tread and rubber sole for optimal traction, so, yes, they're actually functional. But in my opinion, the real standout—aside from the bold pattern—is the signature K embroidery on the outer side, which makes them instantly recognizable from afar.

Sneaker mules are your secret weapon for busy mornings—and this leather-lined calf hair example is even fancy enough to don to the office. Thanks to their slip-on design, you can get 'em on and out the door faster than the cheetah whose spots you'll be borrowing. Plus, you'll find comfortable support in their 1-inch platforms and cushioned insoles.
