My Supportive $20 Sneakers Look and Feel Just Like the $145 Hokas I Wore for Years

After years of living in NYC, I learned that the best way to explore a city is by walking as much as possible. Now that I live in California and have nice weather year-round, I am able to put that into practice with daily walks around my neighborhood with my dog. All that time on my feet has helped me learn about my new home — and the importance of having the correct footwear. 

Supportive shoes come in many forms, but I’m a huge proponent of comfortable sneakers. Hokas used to fall at the top of my list, but the $145 price tag had me quickly looking for a less expensive pair to add to my rotation. I recently got the chance to try these nearly identical sneakers from Walmart, and I could tell from the first wear that they would become mainstays. The best part? They’re on sale for just $20.

Harvest Land Platform Sneakers  

The Harvest Land Platform sneakers not only resemble Hoka’s minimal style, but the platform cushion offers comparable support and comfort to the popular brand I’ve worn for years. The outer material features a similar mesh and knit design, which I’ve found equally breathable and soft. There are some elements to the design that feel a little stiffer than my other pairs, but overall, they feel virtually indistinguishable when wearing them around. 

The lightweight design has made them my go-to style for long walks and travel days, leaving me with no foot pain or discomfort even after hours of wear. The sneakers come in multiple colors, including black, gray, pink, white, and blue. I opted for the white pair, which is marked down to $29 from $38, but the rest of the colors are on sale for just $20. 

Shoppers agree that these shoes resemble much more expensive brands but at an affordable price. One reviewer said they are comfortable even after wearing them all day at work, adding that they have tried several different shoe brands in the past and these are their favorite for comfort, material, and construction. Another customer shared that they have gotten so many compliments on these sneakers and were able to wear them right out of the box with no break-in period. A third shopper noted they walk three miles a day in these comfortably.
