TikTok Made Me Buy These $28 Target Sandals, and I'm Obsessed

Not a month goes by when I don't make a Target purchase. I'll be honest, though: I don't usually rely on the retailer for shoes. It's one of my go-tos for affordable clothes, home decor, and even chic furniture, but I never took the time to explore the retailer's shoe department. However, after hearing my coworkers rave about its great finds (like these super-stylish boots one of our former editors snagged last fall), it's clear I've been missing out on a treasure trove of stylish and affordable footwear finds — so I sought to change that.

It was pure luck that I stumbled upon the perfect pair of sandals on TikTok while browsing through videos from @targetandme. This content creator is an expert at uncovering epic finds from the retailer, and she had just shared a video of the Wild Fable Miranda Footbed Sandals ($28, originally $35). They appeared to be a spot-on dupe for a similar version that cost nearly four times as much, so I didn't waste any time adding a pair in my size 9.5 to my cart, knowing that viral social media products tend to sell out quickly. Ahead, I share everything you need to know about the chunky sandal, including whether or not you need them, too.

What I love most about these sandals is their pillowy, cushioned footbed, which makes the 1.5-inch platform feel much less intimidating. Even with their intentionally chunky shape, they're surprisingly lightweight, a major plus for me since I don't want my footwear to double as a workout.

It's clear to me that these sandals were thoughtfully designed, down to the last detail. The faux-leather construction looks authentic, and the contrast white stitching accents along the sole are just some of the high-quality touches that make them stand out.

And finally, they're so versatile that I know I'll wear them repeatedly this spring and summer, whether running errands or spending a day (or night!) on the town with my friends. The styling options are endless, and I have no doubt I'll get my money's worth of wear.

While some shoppers have reported these sandals run slightly large, recommending a half-size down for the perfect fit, it's worth noting that my usual size 9.5 felt comfortably roomy without being too loose. However, if you have wide feet, be aware that a few reviewers mentioned the narrow width of these sandals. I suggest referring to the size chart and measuring your foot to ensure you find the ideal fit, which I've included below.

If you've had your eye on the higher-priced version of these sandals but aren't keen on breaking the bank or you want a more affordable yet equally stylish alternative, these Wild Fable sandals from Target are an excellent choice. They're lightweight, versatile, and likely to become your go-to casual sandal for spring and summer.
