Kendall and Kylie Just Made the Case For This “Ugly” Shoe Trend Still Being Cool

Kendall and Kylie Jenner probably don’t always think alike, but when it comes to a certain shoe trend, they clearly do. And since this shoe trend was wildly popular last fall and winter (some might say that it peaked then), I thought you might be interested in its fate.

The shoe trend in question is chunky lug-sole shoes, which you probably own a pair or two of, given that practically every new shoe during the fall and winter of 2021 came with a lug sole. Brands both high-end to affordable all jumped on board with the chunky-shoe trend, and I, for one, have been wondering if it would stick around for another season. If you trust the fashion clout of Kylie and Kendall Jenner (which you honestly maybe should), the answer is yes, the trend is sticking around.

While in New York earlier this week, the Jenner sisters went to brunch wearing black, chunky-soled shoes. Kendall paired hers with flared pants while Kylie wore hers with puddle jeans. I find it to be good news that such influential celebrities are wearing last year’s biggest shoe trend, because who wants to invest in anything, only to find that it’s “out” a year later? 

With that, scroll on to shop the best lug-sole shoes to add to your collection (since they’re still cool).
