Nothing ruins a nice day like stepping out of a slip-on and making foot-to-concrete contact with a litter-strewn sidewalk. Though, trudging through mean city streets—or even across beautifully manicured lawns—shouldn’t be cause for wearing plastic bags over your feet 24/7. Instead, opt for a loftier approach with these chunky sandals that’ll show off your pedicure without risking the nightmarish scenario of hopping on one foot while trying to retrieve your footwear. See our chunky picks in the gallery.
