Dockers Frederick Casual Sneakers, from $18 (was $45)
Why do we like this deal?
Dress sneakers have made their way into the daily wear of many people who want something more dressy than sneakers without being a full leather dress shoe. Brands like Greats, Cole Haan, and even Nike have occasionally consumed this middle-ground area, but Dockers has been doing it at more affordable prices for a much longer time. This week, you can get one of the brand’s popular dress sneakers, the Frederick, at 60% off.
The $45 Dockers Frederick Casual Sneakers are now just $18 at Walmart. This sale is only for the black sneakers, but two other colorways, a British tan and a chocolate brown, are on sale for $30 and $28, respectively. They come in sizes 7 to 13, and despite the clearance price, the sizes are still widely available.

What shoppers need to know
- Upper: Synthetic Leather
- Midsole: Padded latex footbed, mesh lining
- Outsole: Durable rubber, flat 0/75-inch heel
- Best for: Casual office day, weekend work, low-impact daily wear
These dress sneakers are great if you want to go a step up from the plain office sneaker, but don’t want to spend over a hundred dollars the price of more premium options. They feature synthetic leather upper, cushioned latex footbed and mesh lining for breathability. This style is also suitable for a business-casual setting, where you’d wear a pair of flat-front khakis, making it a solid choice for lunch meetings and office days.
This sale price of $18 puts these shoes well below the price of most synthetic-leather sneakers, even on sale. For those who want a retro business-casual look and basic all-day comfort without paying for premium materials they don’t need, the trade-off is probably worth it.

what shoppers are saying
There are no written reviews yet at Walmart, but there are plenty at Macy’s, where one reviewer wrote, “Excellent casual shoes. Cute, comfortable, and affordable.” Another buyer said, “Great all-around shoe for dressing up a little more than usual.”
Another shopper also commented on the styling options, writing that they “look good with jeans or summer shorts”. The support is also solid enough that you can “walk all day” without feeling uncomfortable.
If you want a clean and classic shoe for under 20 bucks, the Frederick Casual Sneakers from Dockers are a great option. Since there’s only one colorway on sale at this price, it’s a good idea to grab a pair while the sizes are still in stock.
