Vice President Mike Pence’s wife, Karen, opted for a very affordable and walkable pair of boots from Impo footwear that retail for $105, but are currently on sale for $69.90 on Impo.com.

The California-based brand’s Oriel platform boots feature 3.25-inch covered heel, faux suede stretch material and a metallic ornament on the side. She teamed the shoes with a black coat over a print dress.

Speaking to Footwear News, Jim Maloney, Impo’s vice president of marketing and global production, said the shoe is one of the label’s most popular styles.

“We were very excited to see Karen Pence, wife of Vice President Mike Pence, wearing our Oriel platform boot at the inauguration,” Maloney shared. “We were not aware that she is a fan of the Impo brand, but she definitely has a good eye for fashion because she picked one of our best-selling styles of the season.”
