April 3, 2025 The Chunky Shoes We’re Seeing Everywhere
Chunky shoes are back in a big way this spring—and we’re not mad about it. These bold, statement-making styles are the perfect way to add a little edge to your everyday outfits. From updated classics to fashion-forward favorites, chunky shoes are walking straight off the runway and into our closets.
You’ll find them paired with wide-leg jeans, flowy dresses, and tailored trousers alike. Major plus: there’s a chunky shoe for everyone—whether your style leans sporty, polished, or playfully retro.
We’re seeing our favorite brands leading the charge this season with styles that are both versatile and unexpected. Whether you’re dressing up for a spring brunch or just looking to elevate your grocery store run look, these shoes have you (and your feet) covered.
Here are 3 types of chunky shoes you’ll see everywhere this spring.
1. Chunky Loafers
Let’s start with a classic. Loafers have long been a wardrobe staple, but this spring they’re getting a major update with thicker soles, bold hardware, and unexpected colorways. Think sleek black leather with a lug sole, or creamy patent with a platform heel. Pair them with cropped trousers or a pleated mini skirt to balance the weight of the shoe with lighter, spring-friendly fabrics. We love styling them with ankle socks or sheer tights for a bit of preppy charm. These are the kind of shoes that say, “I’m polished, but I’m not trying too hard.”
2. Retro-Inspired Sneakers
You know we can’t resist a sneaker moment, especially one that feels both nostalgic and modern. This season’s chunky sneakers are taking inspiration from the early 2000s with their exaggerated soles, mixed materials, and colorblocking. They’re the kind of shoes you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again, whether you’re running errands or exploring a new city. Comfort + cool factor = a win-win in our book.
3. Platform Sandals
As the weather warms up, we’re ready to let our toes out—and what better way to do it than in a chunky platform sandal? This spring, it’s all about height, texture, and playful details. Look for styles with woven straps, padded footbeds, and thick rubber soles that give you a little extra lift without compromising on comfort. Platform slides and flatforms are especially popular, and they pair effortlessly with everything from denim cutoffs to floral midi dresses. Now’s the time to add a pair to your spring rotation.
So if you’re looking to update your shoe game this season, start by checking out our latest selling guide. These chunky styles are not just trends—they’re future closet staples.
