Erin and Sara Foster Reimagine Dr. Scholl’s Shoes’ Most Iconic Styles
ST. LOUIS – May 13, 2025 - The American heritage fashion footwear brand Dr. Scholl’s Shoes, a Caleres (NYSE:CAL) portfolio brand, has joined forces with contemporary fashion label Favorite Daughter for a limited edition footwear collection. The collaboration embodies effortless style marrying Dr. Scholl’s Shoes’ originality and renowned comfort with the undeniable fashion appeal of Favorite Daughter. The collection boasts easy-to-wear styles that are nostalgic and timeless in design – wardrobe essentials that will surely be a favorite beyond spring and summer.
Favorite Daughter Founders Erin and Sara Foster hold a special nostalgia for Dr. Scholl’s Shoes which came into play when reimagining the footwear brand’s two most iconic silhouettes.
Sara Foster stated, “This collaboration is such a full-circle moment for me. I lived in the Original Dr. Scholl's Sandals all of high school. I can still remember the excitement when new colors would come out, which is why it feels so authentic to partner with them now through Favorite Daughter."
"We've been wanting to give our customers something fresh for spring that still feels authentic to our brand,” said Erin Foster. “The Dr. Scholl's collection pairs perfectly with our ready-to-wear pieces—it's that effortless style we love, and completes the whole Favorite Daughter look. The nostalgia element just makes it that much better."
The Dr. Scholl’s Shoes x Favorite Daughter capsule features the Heartbreak, the first ever kitten heel version of the Dr. Scholl’s iconic Original Sandal, and the FD01 Sneaker, a chic take on the Dr. Scholl’s viral Time Off Sneaker. The limited edition collection is highlighted by elevated materials and details, including croco-embossed leather and calf-hair set atop a handmade artisanal wood clog sole made from FSC-certified basswood on the Heartbreak and brogue-inspired detailing with sustainably sourced leather and comfort driving technology in the FD01 Sneaker.
“Dr. Scholl’s and Favorite Daughter are brands that celebrate originality and self-expression,” said Katie Moore, vice president of design for Dr. Scholl’s Shoes. “The Original Sandal’s iconic look embodies nostalgia that resonates with Favorite Daughter’s effortless fashion aesthetic while the sneaker evokes the type of street style fashion we are all gravitating toward right now. The special materials and details like croco, calf hair, and broguing, as well as the updated kitten heel silhouette, make this collaboration one-of-a-kind.”
Dr. Scholl’s Shoes x Favorite Daughter will retail for $150 and $250 and be available at DrSchollsShoes.com, FavoriteDaughter.com and in Favorite Daughter stores, Anthropologie.com, Nordstrom.com and Shopbop.com beginning May 13.
In February, Caleres and Favorite Daughter announced an exclusive license agreement for Favorite Daughter’s first shoe line. Caleres will exclusively produce the brand’s women’s shoes starting with the Fall 2025 season.
