“I have always been drawn to the style sensibility of the 70s
and the sandal that immediately comes to mind when thinking of that
era is the timeless Dr. Scholl’s wooden Original. It remains a
classic for a reason - its effortless style and comfortable
silhouette have made it beloved by women across generations, time
zones and style creeds,” said Kate Spade New York Creative
Director, Nicola Glass. “I was very excited to take the iconic shoe
and give it a Kate Spade New York twist, using the vibrant colors
and prints from our Spring 2020 collection. I love how the sandals
give women another opportunity to layer print and texture into
their look.”
The runway collection includes nine reimagined takes on the
Original Sandal, all featuring elements from each of the two
brands’ most recognizable and timeless details, including
thoughtful spade screws and the iconic Dr. Scholl’s buckle closure.
The assortment is also full of whimsical prints and materials,
including a bold floral spade jacquard nodding to the unmistakable
Kate Spade New York signature motif, a cheery daisy printed
leather, a modern-yet-retro take on colorful tweed and various rich
shades of suede. All of the design details come together to form a
beautiful capsule runway collection bursting with personality and
style - crafted to be equally comfortable.
“Some things Kate Spade New York and Dr. Scholl’s Shoes have in
common: We’re both passionate about thoughtful details, we both
have sunny sensibilities, and, in our own unique ways, we empower
people to live their lives to the fullest,” said Katie Moore,
Design Director Dr. Scholl’s Shoes. “So our collaboration is all
that times two: our iconic wood sandals reimagined in
graphic-printed leathers, textured tweeds and supple suedes
punctuated with clever touches and of course crafted to be
comfortable.”
The collection will range in cost from $100 to $130 and will be
available at select Kate Spade stores, both brands’ websites and
select premium retailers beginning in April 2020.

About Dr. Scholl’s Shoes
William Scholl was an inventor and entrepreneur who created
products to comfort feet. In the 60's, he designed a simple wood
sandal with a brightly colored strap inspired by a vintage clog he
found on his travels. He set out to make a shoe that was good for
one's health and ended up creating an enduring fashion icon.
Today, we share his same passion and approach. Our vision is to
create innovative footwear with uncomplicated, playful style for a
healthier life. We obsess as much about how shoes feel when you
slip them on, as how your feet feel at the end of the day. We
strive to make active feel at ease. With the belief that function
and fashion should always be in perfect harmony, we design for your
everyday life in the real world.
