Are You Bold Enough to Pull off Ugly Shoes This Summer?

There’s something oddly satisfying about a shoe that doesn’t ask to be liked. While everyone else is slipping into neat little sandals and tasteful loafers, the fashion crowd has taken a sharp left into chunky soles, square toes, and deliberately awkward silhouettes.

These are our "ugly" shoes favorite for summer 2025!

• Heeled flip-flops: making their way into summer wardrobes, these add a dressy twist to a casual staple (even if practicality is up for debate).

• Ballet sneakers: a mix between dance flats and sneakers. Unexpectedly wearable - just don't overthink them.

• Jelly shoes: a little sticky and a bit nostalgic, but that’s part of their charm.

• Clogs: comfortable and a bit quirky. They’re back with their usual mix of support and statement.

• Fisherman sandals: still giving school trip energy - but that’s kind of why they work.

• Wallabees: unbothered by trends, these classics keep showing up and somehow go with everything.
