Nostalgic Chunky Soled Sandals

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Lisa Says Gah Has Just Debuted the Sustainable Dakota Flatform Shoe

— March 27, 2022 — Fashion
Lisa Says Gah has your summer footwear needs covered with the launch of its new Dakota Flatform.

California-based label Lisa Says Gah is a major hit with gen-Z fashionistas and is well known for its funky, nostalgic designs. Its latest shoe, the Dakota Flatform, also hits that nostalgic note with its chunky sole and faux leather band. To ensure you can wear the shoe with just about any outfit, the heels come in a wide range of colorways, including Bubblegum pink, a green Honeydew, brown Cinnamon, and a Black & White option decorated with a cute floral motif.

But perhaps the most exciting part of the Dakota Flatform release is that the silhouette is offered in both U.S. Women’s and Men’s options, making it a stylish unisex option. The brand even tapped nonbinary model Jeffrey Prada to show off how the shoes can be worn by anyone.
