We already know about dad sandals, these open shoes inspired by fisherman sandals that we have been wearing for several summers now, without finally getting tired of them. But do you know their variation? We are talking about dad sneakers, these imposing sneakers that recall the sports equipment of runners. With the craze for retro tennis shoes like Adidas Samba or Puma Palermo, this is the other big basketball trend of the moment among fashionistas. The most stylish girls are particularly snapping up all the models from the New Balance brand. But get ready to put your 530s or 9060s in the closet, because cool girls now swear only by sneakers from the Hoka brand, it-shoes of celebrities.

Dad sneakers are the sturdy and slightly retro sports shoes that our dads wore in the 90s. These imposing sneakers, often considered unstylish at the time, have become trendy due to their vintage look, comfort, and practicality. And for some time now, Hoka has become the new must-have dad sneakers. This French brand has won over international fashionistas and Hollywood celebrities. More and more stars are succumbing to Hoka running shoes: Gisele Bundchen was spotted with a pair of white Hoka Bondi for example. Gwyneth Paltrow, for her part, opted for the Hoka Clifton Edge in Moonlight, a more technical model that combines performance and elegance, while Kylie Jenner swears by the Hoka Clifton 8, famous for their sleek design and incomparable comfort.

But why are these models so popular? The answer lies in the perfect balance that Hoka has managed to create between functionality and style. The Bondi, for example, is known for its thick sole that absorbs shock while maintaining a feeling of lightness. They are ideal for long days in the city or for a running session. The Clifton, on the other hand, is just as appealing. Whether for a sports session or for an outing with friends, they guarantee unparalleled comfort thanks to their advanced cushioning. It is no coincidence that these are the walking shoes recommended by podiatrists. If the Hoka has already won the hearts of American women, it is very likely that they will quickly become the favorites of French women in search of comfort and style.
