The Sentimental Reason Behind Pete Davidson's Love for Dad Shoes

Pete Davidson opened up about his unironic love for dad shoes in a recent interview with Complex, citing nostalgia and a sense of safety as reasons for his appreciation of the chunky sneaker. He also explained that he likes to find shoes that are just above the trends and "really, really ugly" because they have the potential to become cool. Dad shoes are typically thought of as white, thick-soled, chunky, and absurdly comfortable sneakers that can be purchased for under $100.
