About us

The dadaism movement stood for breaking from the norm and defying the traditional. With our first sandal, we tried to do exactly that, and have created something new from something old.

At walk with dada, we are on a mission to fill a void in the sandal industry by debuting our convertible and minimalistic silhouette, the dada original. Born out of a passion for elemental art and design, the sandal is as timeless as it is modern. 

"We wanted to design a sandal that we could walk around the city all day in, but also pack with us for a beach trip back home. Nowadays, our dadas are one less decision we have to make each day, keeping us stylish and comfortable whether we're dropping our kids off at school or meeting a friend for a glass of wine."

- Danielle & Courtney

Our founders, Danielle and Courtney, 
applied a slow and mindful approach, guided by podiatric standards, creating a sophisticated design that focuses on comfort and quality.

    Spending time with my daughter and husband, working out, exploring everything outdoors in beautiful St. Pete, Fl, going to the beach, and a recently found love for Mahjong!

    Why Dada
    Dada is a creative outlet and expression of Danielle and I's style. We have a passion for the retail and fashion industry having worked in it for over 11 years. We are both new moms and didn't want to sacrifice our style for comfort. Dada is a way to keep our outfits and lifestyle simple, comfortable, and chic.

    Biggest design influences
    Love a classic and iconic presence like Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy- her style continues to influence to this day.

    What makes you really laugh
    My husband and daughter! And Danielle :)

    Favorite way to style the Dada Original
    Dada can be worn for work or play. Living in Florida, I am constantly in sandals. But, I love that I can transition to any environment in my dadas. I have them in every color (obviously) and love to wear them with a casual floral dress or black trousers to work!

    Cooking and trying new restaurants, staying active, and going to see live music. 

    Why Dada
    Growing up, I was always taught the importance of comfortable shoes and I've worn sandals for as long as I can remember. Having moved away from the beach, first to NYC and now to Atlanta, I needed a pair of sandals that would grow with me. I couldn't find them out there, so I decided to create my own.

    Biggest design influences
    Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Their effortless approach to style and fashion is iconic.


    What makes you really laugh
    Seeing my son, Leo Driggs, learn and laugh with us. When he laughs at something he finds new and funny, it's truly infectious. And COURTNEY! She's one of the funniest people on the planet.


    Favorite way to style the Dada Original
    My favorite thing about our dadas is not having to spend extra time styling them. They go with everything from athletic shorts to dresses and everything in between.
