If there's one summer shoe category that the Who What Wear team loves above all others, it has to be chunky sandals. We don't care what format it comes in, be it Velcro, buckle or slider, we'll be happy as long as it comes with chunky soles. The high street has provided a delectable selection this summer, so really we've been spoilt for choice.
Charles & Keith has to be up there in the chunky-sandal stakes, and we've lost count of the number of styles that we've added to our mental shopping lists. So seeing as both Who What Wear's assistant editor, Nell, and I are particularly besotted with this shoe trend, we decided to road-test Charles & Keith's coolest sandals to see if they really are as versatile as they look. The result? Well, you just have to scroll down to see for yourself, but it's safe to say we'll be living in these babies for the foreseeable future. Scroll down to see how we styled them and shop similar styles.
