I love being outside, but I refused to wear sporty sandals because, frankly, I thought they were ugly. But it's 2019, and I'm allowed to change my mind, especially when designers are coming out with shoes that are both comfortable and cool. Yes, they're chunky, but they add something decidedly fashion-forward to any look. Plus, it's impossible to ignore how kind they are to your feet. If you've been eyeing the trend, these 12 impossibly chic pairs will convince you to take the plunge.
