Here Are 12 Ugly Dad Sandals to Shop for Fall
Chunky footwear to wear with comfy socks.
From chunky midsoles to technical designs, the dad shoe trend has been going strong over the past few years. Following the ugly sneaker trend, the retro-inspired aesthetic is now seen on a number of other silhouettes including sandals. For those looking for new footwear options for the fall season, we’ve put together a list of ugly-chic designs from brands like Balenciaga, Gucci and more.
Our selection features affordable and versatile styles from Nike and Dr. Martens that would pair perfectly with vibrant socks. To add a bit of patterning or color, consider GANNI‘s leopard print iteration, or Yume Yume‘s utility-focused hiking sandals. On our list, we’re also highlighting emerging labels like Next in Fashion runner-up Angel Chen and Plan C, which launched a few years ago by Marni founder Consuelo Castiglioni’s daughter Carolina. If you’re seeking elevated designs, look to luxury houses like Balenciaga for sneaker-inspired options.
