Do you stand on your feet for long periods of time in a pair of unstable heels without support? Sounds like a clean one misery — maybe that’s why Kathy Bates wore these Oprah favorite shoes instead.
On Sunday, January 5, the 76-year-old actress attended the 2025 Golden Globes in the Sneex high-heeled sneakers everyone is talking about. We shared the moment on our Instagram, and not long after, the comments started pouring in: “Consolation is coming [first]. I love 👟,” one user wrote. “Sneakers….💕,” wrote another.
But little did social media users know that Bates was actually wearing sneakers, the same ones Reese Witherspoon wore on set Morning show and then again shortly after (although the Bates were blue). They also made Oprah’s list of favorite things for 2024 and are a brand that regularly appears on celebrities such as Gayle King, Jane Fonda and Hoda Kotb.

Bates wore The Icon Hy-Heel Sneakers in Indigo, which launched back in October and have already sold out twice, according to the brand. Luckily, there are two more colors you can buy while you wait for the next restock, including black and camel, colors that mom and I have added to our wardrobes.
Everything about the shoe’s design factors in comfort and functionality: the toe box has plenty of room to prevent cramping, and the rubber sole has ridges that grip the ground better than a smooth-bottomed pair (especially important in slippery weather). TL;DR: If you’re going to wear heels in the winter, Sneex are the ones you should be reaching for.

They also offer more arch support and even weight distribution “to get rid of the feeling of squishing in the foot” that happens with other high-arch pairs, according to the brand. They also simply ooze coolness with their sporty and elegant silhouette and mix of leather, suede and mesh materials.
