Based off Melania Trump's public appearance [1], it may seem like all she owns are heels [2]. The shoes, specifically a pair of Manolo Blahnik, even started its own internet controversy [3] and Melania's raised quite a few eyebrows with her other outfits too [4]. Drama aside, she does keep a few understated, every day footwear in her closet. When it comes to a pair of comfy sneakers, she turns to crowd favorites Adidas Stan Smith [5] and Converse [6]. In fact, she owns the latter in multiple colors and wears them, not surprisingly, with her luxe designer shirts. Read on to see which sneakers Melania keeps in rotation, then shop the shoes if you wish.
Stan Smith
After drawing intense criticism for wearing designer stiletto heels [7] to visit the victims of Hurricane Harvey in 2017, Melania switched into a pair of Adidas Stan Smiths [8]. She wore the cult-favorite sneakers [9] with black jeans, a white button-down, and a baseball cap that read “Flotus.” If Melania showed any signs of distress over people’s reactions to her fancy footwear, you couldn’t tell — she was wearing sunglasses.
Converse
For her second visit to Texas [10] following Hurricane Harvey in Sept. 2017, Melania stuck to a sensible pair of sneakers. This time it was a pair of green Converse, which she wore with a "Texas" hat, skinny jeans, and blue button-down.
During a visit to Florida in Sept. 2017, Melania debuted a pair of white Converse. She coordinated in a white cap and jeans, and once again, paired a simple button-down with the outfit.
Melania hosted school children in the White House garden on Sept. 2017 and appeared to wear a very casual outfit. The price tag of her Balamain shirt (it was $1,500), however, caused an uproar on social media [11]. She wore the plaid top with black skinnies and Converse sneakers.
