Whatever event you choose, the Triple S is a chunky sneaker option that will automatically elevate your outfit. Made with a double foam and mesh upper, the comfort is present in the Triple S thanks to its comfortable midsole, and there are other standout features that make shoe very worthy of its 1,100 asking price including the functional lacing system, and the pull-on tabs in both the back and tongue region of the shoe to help with comfort and putting on/taking off. Comfortable and stylish is always a good combo, and the Triple S provides both.

• Upper Material: Synthetic leather and breathable mesh
• Sizes: 7 - 14
• Style: Low top, lace-up

The North Face also has a couple of chunky sneakers in their catalog, which makes sense with them primarily being an outdoor brand as thicker shoes are better for outdoor activities. The Men's VECTIV Taraval Shoes were designed in collaboration with The North Face Athlete Team to increase optimization, power, and precision within the shoe. The sneakers also feature TNF's VECTIV construction, which further promotes energy and response time. The abrasion-resistant performance-mesh upper construction adds to the breathability and comfort, making these another option that is both practical and quite stylish as well.

Styled with a 90s and 00s theme, the OZWEEGO is crafted with the comfort for an athlete as it has an EVA midsole and triple-threat cushioning. With that kind of comfort your feet won't hurt at all (in fact it might take away some of your pain), and you can wear them to a workout, or to an event. As we always say—it's all about the options.

• A Promising Review: "The shoes are so stylish and comfy." - Adrian, Steve Madden Reviewer
• Upper Material: Vegan leather and textile upper material
• Sizes: 7 - 14
• Style: Low top, lace-up

Steve Madden's POSSESS Chunky Sneakers are a combination of substantial, dynamic, and modern, and are the type of shoe that can be paired with virtually anything. While we selected to showcase the Off-White colorway, there's plenty to choose from including a black and sand option. As far as the general construction of the shoe goes, these are made with vegan leather and textile upper material. Little warning though—the heel is a little bit higher than your average chunky sneaker, which is something to keep in mind if you struggle with shoes that are slightly taller in height. That said, you will be comfortable as these have a synthetic lining on the inner part of the shoe, and a wide molded platform sole to protect the middle part of your foot.

• A Promising Review: "While we've only tried the women's version of their shoes, we can confidently say that not only are they up their with the most stylish sneakers we've ever worn, but the comfort was bar none." - Jael Rucker, Style Writer at ONE37pm

• Sizes: 35 - 41
• Style: Low top, lace-up

There's plenty of reasons to love these Sliders from Naked Wolfe, one being the unique design that instantly catches your attention. There's also a matter of comfort and construction as these also sport a leather, suede, and mesh upper mixture that allows for breathability and comfort. The placement of the velcro wolfe head on the front tab of the shoe is interesting too as it's the small details that separates this shoe from the pack. We're also quite fond of the moulded 3D rubber side panel moulds that accompany. the shoe as well. The literal definition of couture, this is definitely an attention-grabbing sneaker.

• A Promising Review: "I've worn these at least 3 days a week for the past 9 months or so and I'm still not over them. They're by far the most comfortable converse I have, with a nice and roomy toe box and good support. The treads have held up great and they still look brand new. " - Converse Reviewer
• Upper Material: Cotton Canvas
• Sizes: 3 - 8
• Style: High top, lace-up

Time to throw a high top sneaker in the mix. While we're used to high tops from Converse, the Run Star Motion CX takes the traditional Converse high top to the next level with its cotton canvas cut and chunky outsole. Primed for comfort with its CX foam insole and lightweight phylon midsole that helps with absorption along with a lugged rubber forefoot and heel that helps with grip and traction, be prepared to get a lot of stares (in a good way of course) as you trot down the street.

• A Promising Review: "Really happy with it! Matches with a lot of outfits " -ASOS Reviewer
• Upper Material: Rubber
• Sizes: 7 - 12
• Style: Low top, lace-up

While anyone can wear this chunky sneaker by ASOS, the brand is known for accommodating those with wide feet as it can harder to find shoes when your foot is wider. These sneakers have a nice design that's under $70, and are relatively easy to keep clean as well, making them super desirable and a fan favorite amongst ASOS lovers. Cut with rubber, the Chunky Sneakers also come with a padded tongue and cuff, lace-up fastening, and pull tabs to make sliding the shoe on and off easier. Not too shabby for under $70.

• A Promising Review: "I got them for travel because I hate having to pack gym shoes. These are comfy for walking around in, they look nice and perform well in the gym. I have flat feet and my insoles fit perfectly. Fit true to size and provide great stability. " -Fabian, APL Reviewer
• Upper Material: Rubber
• Sizes: 5 - 16
• Style: High top, slip-on

Perhaps you don't plan on hooping in your chunky sneakers, but if you are looking for something to play in, check out the APL Superfuture which includes the Load ‘N Launch technology banned by the NBA that helps to increase your vertical leap. The Superfuture is full of other cool technological features like High top TechLoom bootie and the APL FutureFoam midsole—all of which are used to enhance your performance on the court.

• Style: High top, lace-up

Sticking with the high top theme here, this Customs Dress Blues Sk8-Hi MTE-1 Shoe from Vans are a sleek and versatile look that's great for those looking to wear a statement piece. Aside from the blue and camo green mixture which you don't see a lot of when it comes to color mixing, these shoes also feature a water resistant upper, thermoregulation in the form of the brand's zonal MTE-1 Primaloft insulation which serves to keep your feet warm at all times, and a single-density UltraCush molded EVA footbed that makes sure your always comfortable.

A solid balance between athletic and high fashion the L-Guard Breaker answers the call for every adventure with their textile, leather, and synthetic cut and crafting. Also featuring synthetic lining and a rugged sole that allows you to hit the trails seamlessly should that be your forte, the L-Guard Breaker Sneakers are an excellent multipurpose shoe that can be used for anything.

• A Promising Review: "Honestly the style of the shoe grew on me but certain color ways pop out more, especially the Griffey color scheme which is my favorite so far. I loved the old school Air Max Plus style and at first these VaporMaxes seemed like a semi imaginative but less appealing remix of those. A bit pricey but still happy with my purchase overall. For me I ordered a half size up and they fit perfect. They feel light and supportive. " - Nike Reviewer
• Upper Material: Cushioned fabric and synthetic materials
• Sizes: 4 - 14
• Style: Low top, lace-up

The Nike Air VaporMax Plus blends together VaporMax and the '98 Air Max Plus for a new and improved look that looks forward to the future while paying homage to the past. The floating Spider-Man looking cage is the stand out feature on this shoe, which also comes dressed in a red and black upper (and there are other colorways available in this model as well). Nike notes that this iteration of the VaporMax features the original cage, padded upper and heel logo as showcased on the '98 model, but adds in Nike's VaporMax Air technology for additional comfort. Made with a synthetic upper and a rubber outsole, the VaporMax is a shoe ready for any and everything.

• A Promising Review: "Received my Clifton 8s the next day after they being released and ordered. They look awesome. Went for a quick evening run as they arrived right after I finished my daily lunch run of course. Huge Pros: They are 100% roomier than Clifton 7." - Hoka Reviewer
• Upper Material: Breathable mesh
• Sizes: 8.5 - 16
• Style: Low top, lace-up

Sure Hoka's are made for runners, but you can absolutely wear them when not running as well. The Hoka 8 has received great reviews with the brand improving upon the 7 to make the shoes more comfortable for those with wider feet. You can even wear Hokas to the gym, to run errands, or even as a recovery sneaker. Whatever you choose, rest assured you'll be comfortable as Hoka's are specifically designed to mold to your foot with their responsive midsole and breathable mesh upper. There's multiple colors to choose from as well so have at it.

• A Promising Review: "Never heard of this brand, but bought some while in Paris this week! I’ve been wearing them everyday, walking all over the city, so comfortable! I am a size 8 and bought the 39, the fit is perfect" - Zappos Reviewer
• Upper Material: Polyester Upper
• Sizes: 8 - 11.5
• Style: Low top, lace-up

As far as sustainable sneakers go—VEJA makes some of the best in our opinion. This Multico Grey colorway is a neutral enough color to be worn with a good percentage of your closet, but still has eye-catching features such as the teal logo at the quarter mark of the shoe (there's also other colorways to select from as well). Made with a water-repellent suede upper blended together with knit material, TPU accents, and a well-cushioned midsole, we rock with it for sure (and you should too). Of note: Zappos recommends sizing down with the Venturi as they tend to run on the bigger side.

• A Promising Review: "Very comfortable and light weight. Definitely a great buy." - Amazon Reviewer
• Upper Material: Synthetic and textile material mixes
• Sizes: 7 - 15
• Style: High top, lace-up

If hitting the outdoors, Sorel's Kinetic Breakthrough Sneakers are fly and flashy while not straying from its technical features. Note: While the shoes themselves are waterproof, the laces are not. Just something to keep in mind in case you planned on wearing during a rainy day. Other than that, the Kinetic Breakthrough Sneakers will have you good to go as they are made with an eco-friendly textile topcover, boost a PU-like EVA footbed for comfort, and have molded rubber pods in high abrasion zones for durability. Plus, they look great in motion we might add.

• A Promising Review: "Just got these, and wore them for a full day of errands and Christmas shopping and I can’t recommend them enough. Really cute with crew white socks, and super comfortable. I recommend them for casual/athleisure (great for travel too!) and order them in your normal size ." - New Balance Reviewer
• Upper Material: Mesh upper with pigskin suede overlays | Sizes: 4 - 10
• Style: Low top, lace up

If "dad sneakers" are the goal for your overall look, who better than New Balance? No seriously, who better than New Balance? A classic durable shoe cut with rubber that withstands the test of time and looks even fresher with wear is a shoe that we'll always love. Also accompanying the 9060 is New Balance's dual-density midsole that has their ABZORB and SBS cushioning, and a translucent CR device at the heel, which ensures optimal comfort at all times. Gotta love the 9060's.

A $649 shoe well worth investing in if we're keeping it a buck.

These B-Bold sneakers from Balmain blend the world's of subtlety and extravagant together nicely. Craftily made with leather and suede, these shoes are luxury with a high fashion outsole, but still simple enough to be worn casually. Not only that, but they also fit true to size as well, and are supremely comfortable in part because of their padded midsole. Every step is a comfy and stylish one, which is one of the many reasons you should consider copping.

Sustainably made with organic cotton in the upper and sockliner along with 15% recycled rubber and Die cut EVA in the outsole, the Pampa Hi Re-Craft from Palladium is something of a mixture between a sneaker and a boot with its high top lace up construction and overall sneaker design. A vegan shoe that also has eyelets, a heel loop, and a tongue loop that's designed in what Palladium refers to as a "futuristic mix of fabrics and textures and styles," the Hi Re-Craft is a sneaker that can be worn in the year 2024 or the year 2034.

The Bully Sneaker from Represent Clo is a representation of a brand that's put a lot of time and energy into the small details. Features like the ballistic nylon mesh upper, complex stitching, and terry towelling lining are part of what makes the Bully Sneakers from other chunky sneakers are on the market, and what really separates them from others is the incredibly thick laces these shoes are made one, which really serves to the highlight the overall chunky factor of the shoe. Multiple colors are available along with many different sizes, so there's plenty to choose from here.
