Last week, Jennifer Garner wore a spring-perfect getup complete with a floral midi skirt and tangerine-orange sweater. It was so good, I decided to recreate the outfit myself; I had everything I needed, though even with my dozens of shoes, I fell short when it came to her $790 Loewe sneakers, which included a low top, flat heel, and lace-up design. Doing what I do best, I put my head down to find a few lookalikes to steal her look for less.

You can even put your own spin on Garner’s expensive shoes by opting for a chunky sole, like the Steve Madden Campo Sneaker. Available in 13 hues, customization is at your fingertips, while a Garner-inspired wave trails the side of the silhouette. The Somiliss running shoe isn’t only the most cost-effective option, but it also boasts a supermodel-approved sole height, similar swoosh, and crawling toe cap.
No matter which style, brand, or color you go with, you can rest assured that your new kicks will be comfortable. Afterall, what good is a sneaker if it doesn’t fit you just right? So, take them on a bike ride or a morning coffee run. They’ll undoubtedly become your wear-everywhere kicks, taking you from city dinners, friend hangouts, park picnics, and everything in between.

Styling them is simple, too, since they go well with nearly everything—and I’m not being dramatic. Wide-leg jeans? Absolutely. Flowy maxi skirts? Those, too. The only item off the table is a gala-ready gown, and even that’s debatable.
Take some style inspo à la Garner and snag a pair of do-it-all kicks, especially if you’re just as obsessed with sneakers as I am.
