Katie Holmes’ Espadrille Wedges Are Raising the Bar for Comfy Spring Shoes — We Found Similar Pairs Starting at $30

Sometimes you just need a little lift.

Just ask Katie Holmes, who recently stepped out in New York wearing a neutral pair of Franco Sarto espadrilles, a stylish shoe that added height and a healthy dose of style. The Dawson’s Creek alum’s daywear looked fresh for spring — even as we patiently wait for the weather to warm up.

She accentuated her cozy oatmeal-colored sweater and wide-leg black pants with comfortable two-tone sandals that perfectly picked up both shades in her ensemble. The actress kept the rest of her accessories low key so her shoes could steal the spotlight.

Flats are a great comfortable alternative to heels without losing the elegant sophistication. We found the style Holmes wore on sale at Zappos for under $80, though her beige and black colorblock option isn’t available. You can pick them up in six other neutral colors, like brown, black, and white, along with a few vibrant ones like red, orange, and teal.
