Chunky sneakers

The chunky sneaker, with a thick and often treaded sole, made a strong comeback at the end of the 2010s, following the models of the 1990s. It enhances the silhouette without the imbalance of a heel, and its generous sole cushions walking in the city. The Bronx models play with volume, mixes of materials, smooth leather, suede, and mesh, and colourways, from all-white to more daring combinations.

Wearing and caring

The thick-soled sneaker pairs well with straight or wide jeans, a skirt, or a dress: its volume balances out loose silhouettes and adds character to simple outfits. Stick to your usual size; the thick soles, being more rigid, take a few days to adjust to your feet. Clean the leather with a damp cloth and condition it with a clear cream, protect the suede with a waterproof spray, and clean the sole with soapy water and a brush.

Frequently asked questions

Which country is the Bronx brand from?

Bronx is a Dutch shoe brand, known for its bold style that blends fashion and urban culture. It focuses on silhouette rather than sports performance, hence its very recognizable thick soles.

Do Bronx shoes run large or small?

Fit varies by model: a thick leather platform hugs the foot more than a sneaker made from mixed materials. Measure your foot at the end of the day and compare the length with the size guide on the product page before ordering.

Is a platform sole comfortable for walking all day?

Yes, once you're used to it: the thick sole absorbs shocks well on the pavement, but it makes the step more rigid. Wear the pair for a few hours on the first few days, allowing time for the leather to mould to your foot.

How to style chunky Bronx sneakers?

The thick sole balances out a wide pant, straight jeans, or a midi dress, as it adds volume to the bottom of the silhouette. With slim trousers, opt for a neutral colour to avoid weighing down the overall look.

How to clean a white thick sole?

First, brush off the dry dirt, then scrub the sole with a soft brush, warm water, and a bit of mild soap. Let it air dry, away from a radiator, which could warp the rubber or detach the platform.
