Chunky Sandals

Chunky Sandals

As summer approaches, we at Sheneil are excited to update our summer wardrobe. Among all the styles we've considered, one stands out above the rest: the chunky sandal! There are countless reasons why we love this sandal style. They are incredibly versatile, pairing effortlessly with everything from loungewear and sundresses to tailoring and denim. Chunky sandals are a simple way to refresh your overall look and give new life to last year's summer basics, adding a fresh, laid-back edge to your outfits.

Style tip: Pair your chunky sandals with floaty occasion dresses for an effortlessly cool girl vibe. 

In terms of comfort, a chunky sandal can offer comfort and height with additional cushioning, arch support features and impact absorption - a godsend for anyone on their feet all day. Look for chunky flatform sandals or sandals in soft leather finishes for the ultimate wearing experience. Try Tamaris sandals, the Spanish brand Wonders Sandals, or Oh! My Sandals for guaranteed comfort. 

But, what chunky sandals should we opt for 2026?
After careful reflection, several styles came out on top...

Black chunky sandals

Everyone in the Sheneil team opted for a chunky black sandal last summer and it's easy to see why. As always black is so versatile and easy to style. We love how a black sandal can transform the overall look and instantly add a bit of an edge. 

White Chunky Sandals

White chunky sandals are a surprisingly strong contender for this year.  With monochromatic looks still dominating street style for and trend predictions for SS26 a fresh white sandal can infuse an edge without the heaviness of a black sandal. 

Chunky sandals with Velcro fasteners are a great option for ladies with narrow feet. The adjustable straps offer a secure fit and increased support. We also love the new chunky poolside Igor sliders coming later this summer.
