Get ready to stomp through summer as if it’s 1999! There are certain items that trigger a wave of nostalgia, transporting you back to your younger years. A familiar scent, a trendy outfit, or a catchy tune can evoke memories that make you smile. Then there are those pieces that make you react with excitement, immediately tagging your besties and exclaiming, “Oh my gosh, you have to see this!” Enter the iconic Steve Madden platform sandal.
This beloved blast from the past is making a triumphant return, and it’s bringing some fresh designs along for the ride. Steve Madden has teamed up with Urban Outfitters to reintroduce the legendary ’90s sandal that nearly every girl I knew owned. While we’ve moved on from many things as adults, our love for these sandals is definitely not one of them.
I can’t stress enough how I wore these sandals with every outfit, even during the freezing winters in Minnesota. I strutted down my high school hallways and even wore them to my cousin’s wedding (yes, I rocked them at a wedding!). You could hear me coming from a mile away!
As you can see, the updated versions feature vibrant pink and green neon options, alongside the timeless black. If you can’t hear me coming, you’ll surely see me! Urban Outfitters describes these throwback slide sandals as a way to “relive the glory days of the ‘90s.” They boast a stretchy band across the arch, a peep toe, and a sloping rubber platform sole.
These stylish sandals are priced at $70—a small price for a chance to revisit your glory days. They also come in flip-flop styles, available in neon orange, black, and multi-color options for $60.
While you’re shopping online or visiting an Urban Outfitters store, consider snagging a fanny pack or scrunchie (both of which are trending again) to complete your look. You might just feel a decade younger—minus the wrinkles and the kids.
I love seeing old trends make a comeback. My children sport Adidas and Champion gear, wearing band T-shirts of musicians they’ve never heard of, whose music is undeniably cooler than what they listen to today (I’m looking at you, Johnny Cash). It feels fitting for them to also enjoy the thrill of the Steve Madden sandal.
Regardless of how exhausting it is to drag around my feet in these heavy shoes, I’m definitely getting a pair for myself. I deserve this, and so do you! For more insights, check out what our real-life moms, Lisa and Sarah, share in the latest episode of our podcast.
