Summer's full of fun things to look forward to—from pool parties to beach reads and plenty of cookouts—but you might be the most excited about dabbling in the season's newest fashion trends. Spoiler alert: One shoe trend is topping them all this year, and Reese Witherspoon just jumped on board with her own unique twist.
I am, of course, talking about metallic footwear—whether they come in the form of sandals, ballet flats or, in Witherspoon's case, sneakers. The exact Autry pair ($225) Witherspoon recently rocked on vacation in Copenhagen is surprisingly still available to shop, but in case you don't want to drop more than $200 on your next pair of sneaks (even if they are incredibly stylish and functional), I found three affordable alternatives, including a pair I personally love, that are all $110 or less. Let this be your sign to take the metallic trend to sporty-chic new heights.

1. Autry Leather Medalist Sneakers
The calfskin leather kicks Witherspoon showed off in her Instagram post offer a classic cut and trendy silver details, along with a padded tongue and collar, so they should stay comfortable whether you're biking around a new city à la Reese or heading out for a day at the park. (TBH, I wouldn't blame you for wearing them daily.) Per the brand, they run true-to-size, while one reviewer calls them solid and well-made. If you're down to make the investment, you might want to add yours to cart now before they sell out.
2. Gola Leather Torpedo Sneakers
If you want the same luxe look and high-quality construction of the above Autry sneakers, but want to save $100, this Gola pick could be your perfect pair—especially since they've earned near-perfect reviews. One shopper writes, "Absolutely love these! The metallic silver is so cute and stylish. Super comfy as well!" They do note that the sneaks run a little large, so you might want to consider going down a half size.
3. Blowfish Malibu Vice Sneakers
I can attest to just how comfy these sneakers from Blowfish Malibu really are. They're designed with a cushioned footbed that definitely does the job—I've worn them for long days out and my feet never ached. The subtle silver accent on the side is great if you just want to dip your toes in the metallic trend without going all-out. And considering their less-than-$50 price tag, I suggest picking up a pair for yourself, especially while you can score them on sale.
4. Vans Leather Lowland Sneakers
Vans are having a *moment* this summer as everyone seems to be embracing pop-punk nostalgia, and I adore this shiny pair that will definitely stand out from the crowd—and get you Witherspoon's look for less than $100. The footbed features the brand's ComfyCush padding and the style was originally designed for tennis in the '80s, so it totally fits the tenniscore trend, too.
