“Nothing tops these.”

“Yes, all my shoes have creases, because I wear them,” said Fishel.

The reveal of the five favorite shoes in Fishel’s collection shows a particular love for shoes from Nike with all five pairs being from the footwear giant. The top five also highlights Fishel’s love for shoes in the Jordan brand, the product of Nike’s partnership with Michael Jordan that has been successful for many years.

Fishel starred as Topanga across the seven-season run of “Boy Meets World” on ABC, a channel owned by The Walt Disney Company.

The series, which aired from 1993 to 2000, was a staple of the TGIF lineup of content on Fridays that proved popular with a younger crowd. “Boy Meets World” aired 158 episodes across its run and was later syndicated to the Disney Channel.

Fishel reprised her role on “Girl Meets World,” which aired on the Disney Channel from 2014 to 2017.

The actress now hosts the “Pod Meets World” with “Boy Meets World” co-stars Will Friedle and Rider Strong. The podcast was launched in 2022 and published 45 episodes in its first year. “Pod Meets World” is a rewatch podcast where the stars go back and watch old episodes, provide recaps and bring on special guests for interviews, providing a behind-the-scenes look at the hit show.

The podcast is broadcast on IHeart Radio, a unit of iHeart Media. In its first year, the podcast had over 17 million downloads. The podcast now has merchandise and a tour that features live shows, as reported by Variety. 

Fishel has over 794,000 followers on TikTok and 5.8 million likes. Several of the videos have millions of views and the majority have hundreds of thousands of views.

The sneaker video had 27,000 likes and 289,000 views at the time of writing.
