The red carpet often showcases glamorous high heels, but Kathy Bates opted for a more comfortable approach at the 2025 Golden Globes. The acclaimed actress chose Sneex high-heel sneakers, prioritizing comfort and functionality without sacrificing style. This choice echoes a growing trend among celebrities, including Reese Witherspoon, Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Jane Fonda, and Hoda Kotb, who have all embraced the innovative footwear brand.
Bates’ decision to wear Sneex sneakers sparked a wave of positive comments on social media, with users praising her for prioritizing comfort. The specific style she wore, the Sneex The Icon Hy-Heel Sneaker in Indigo, has proven incredibly popular, selling out twice since its October launch.

Sneex meticulously designed these shoes with comfort as a paramount concern. The spacious toe box prevents cramping, while the ridged rubber sole provides superior grip, especially crucial during winter’s slippery conditions. In essence, Sneex offers a practical solution for those seeking stylish footwear without compromising comfort, especially important for navigating red carpets and extended events.
The brand highlights the enhanced arch support and even weight distribution of its shoes, alleviating pressure on the ball of the foot often associated with high heels. Sneex seamlessly blends a sporty aesthetic with sophisticated design elements, utilizing a combination of leather, suede, and mesh materials. This fusion of style and comfort makes them a versatile choice for various occasions.
