YES! Chunky Sneakers Are Still Trending

Although the fashion crowd do make a strong case for wearing sporty shoes with absolutely anything and everything, and make them look elevated and edgy every time, our love for the trend goes beyond their so-ugly-but-I-still-can’t-look-away aesthetics.

If you’ve ever tried on a pair of dad sneakers, you’ll know. The moment your foot lands on the cushy sole you get a feeling that no words can describe. These chunky styles don’t just walk the line of comfort; they cross right over and make us reconsider whether we’ll ever go back to any form of heel, even an itty-bitty kitten style, again.

Hard pavements turn into soft fluffy clouds, each step seems as though you’ve taken it in slow motion it’s that smooth a ride, but at the same time they instil in you a sense of ready-for-action confidence, like you could take on any adventure, or suddenly become an expert in parkour, as soon as the laces are tied.
