Unisex Mesh Chunky Dad Sneakers

The Splashis Unisex Mesh Chunky Dad Sneakers use a hollow-out mesh upper with cross-strap detailing, on a thick sponge-cake sole that hides an inner lift. Cloth insole, polyurethane outsole. Black or White, EU sizes 34 to 40 — and they run about half a size large.

Height hidden inside the sole — backed by our 30-day guarantee.

About This Product

This listing describes a chunky lace-up sneaker with a mesh upper, cloth insole and polyurethane outsole, offered in two colors in EU sizes 34 to 40. The supplier states these run about half a size large, so please allow for that when choosing. A mesh upper is not water resistant. Color may vary slightly by monitor. Every order is backed by our 30-day money-back satisfaction guarantee.

Who They're For

Best for:

• Anyone who wants height without it being obvious
• Warm days, given the open mesh construction
• Wide-leg and cropped trousers, which suit a chunky sole
• Smaller feet, since the range starts at EU 34

What to look for in chunky sneakers

Start with sizing, since this pair runs large by about half a size and a chunky shoe that slides is uncomfortable rather than roomy. Check what the height comes from, because an inner lift raises the heel inside the shoe while a platform raises the whole foot — the first feels more like a heel over a long day. Consider the outsole material, as polyurethane is light and cushioned but less hard-wearing than rubber. Finally, remember mesh cannot be wiped clean, so white will need more attention.

What to Pair Them With

Wide-leg jeans, joggers and cropped trousers, where a heavy sole balances volume above. Black stays tidy through a wet season; White reads sharper but shows every mark on the mesh.

Care Instructions

Brush loose dust from the mesh before it works into the weave, then spot clean with mild soap on a damp cloth. Do not machine wash. Dry at room temperature away from direct heat, which can soften a polyurethane sole.
