Raise your hand if you’re so happy comfy footwear is trending *raises hand.* While we’ll be wearing dad sneaks and grandma shoes for the foreseeable future, we’re adding one of September’s biggest trends to the rotation: chunky sole boots. Yes, these ankle boots were technically spotted on the fall runways from cult-favorite labels like Gucci, Alexander McQueen and Tibi, but we’re making room for them on our spring shoe rack immediately. Who says we can’t wear them now with flirty dresses and later (when they’re nice and broken in) with cropped jeans and an oversize sweater? Here are eight pairs bound to become our favorite year-round shoes.
