14 Chunky Sneakers Worth Trading in Your Summer Sandals For

Your wardrobe consists of mostly black or white pieces. This sneaker should fit right in with your aesthetic: It can pass for a sporty look when worn with your workout gear or as more casual footwear when worn underneath a floral maxi dress.

Like every other shoe out there, sneakers are getting the chain treatment for 2020. Proenza Schouler included a delicate gold-tone chain on its minimalist white kicks made from smooth leather. Go for the triple chain look with an anklet if you wish to stack 'em up.

If you're all about meditation apps and mantras, then this sneaker is for you. Aside from the quirky colors and speckled sole, on its side is the phrase "Never look back it's all ahead."

This sneaker speaks to our feminine side, thanks to the soft pink hues that cover the front and sides of the shoe. In an effort to avoid a cheesy pink feel, however, elements of olive and brown are worked in. Note the etched Fendi logo on the side to announce that yes, this pair of sneakers is indeed luxurious. 

Nike is giving chunky sneakers a cool streetwear remix with these angular sole kicks. The shoes still maintain that wearable streamlined design though, and can be worn with anything from jeans to a skirt.

We can't do a round-up on chunky sneakers without including this leopard-print pair. This shoe is for those who need a pop of color or a dash of print in their daily outfit.

For a dad sneaker that actually looks like a dad sneaker (without borrowing your pop's), here's a neutral colored pair from Tod's. This shoe is paneled with breathable and spongy mesh while the soles offer traction to keep you from slipping in the rain. 

Not sure if you'll throw down $200 for chunky sneakers, but want to try a pair? Your journey will likely begin at H&M, where you'll have a plethora of footwear to choose from like this all-white everyday sneaker. It's simple and understated, making it a worthy match for all your outfits.

This pair is the definition of trendy. The most unusual part about this sneaker are the brown (almost leather like) soles. You won't be able to walk a few blocks without someone complimenting you on them.

You want a sneaker that's in between an everyday white pair and an extra colorful, over-the-top embellished chunky kick. We present to you this black and white Dolce & Gabbana option. It's crisp, sleek, and clean. You might even get away with wearing this sneaker with your pantsuit set at the office. 

Golden Goose's beat-up and "dirty" sneaker aesthetic is iconic, but the brand has cleaned it up for its new Running Sole sneakers. The label dropped its own dad sneaker iteration that features leather, suede, and a glittery sole complete with the Golden Goose star logo. These squeaky-clean sneakers will look better with each wear and scuff—just as the brand intended. 

I can 100 percent imagine Erica Sinclair of Stranger Things wearing these '80s-inspired sneakers. (Have you seen her colorful outfits?) The yellow, plum, and teal surprisingly work well together while the perfectly chunky sole gives it that signature dad sneaker stamp.

These sneakers first appeared on the fall 2019 runways of Gucci and now they're finally available to purchase. The muti-colored footwear features distressed suede, metallic leather, and reflective fabric to give it a statement shine. 

Don't underestimate this sneaker—it's not as plain as you think. The shoe has black-and-white pattern laces for a "look down here" statement and if that's not enough, there's always the brand's signature Prada lettering on the front and on the sides.
