Love it or hate it, the “ugly” shoe trend is here now to stay. So don’t toss those chunky sneakers just yet but if you’re looking for something new to elevate your wardrobe, another “dad” shoes have officially entered the style world.
Welcome back the sporty sandals: the breathable version of the ugly chunky sneakers. Spotted on the SS19 runways shows of brands like Prada, Gucci, and Chloé, as well as a slew of celebrities such as Sue Ramirez, Sofia Andres, and Sarah Lahbati, it was hard to admit that they looked strikingly cool. We’re not quite 100% on board-especially with those velcro fastenings-though it does help that they’re comfortable, practical, and surprisingly simple to wear. Just look at how these celebs styled the trend:
