We have seen a few contenders for ‘shoes of the summer’ title, but no other style has received as many clicks as the Chanel sandals.

Remember the craze that the re-imagined sling backs caused a few years ago? It’s happening again but this time the brand is stepping away from the elegant and into an edgier territory.

Available in a variety of finishes, from minimal leather to a more artisanal rope and cork combination, it looks like the French fashion house is more than capable in continuing it’s winning streak of wish list-worthy footwear.

As expected, the majority of the latest styles sell out before you had time to grab your morning coffee, but luckily Chanel has noticed this booming interest and, from what we can gather, will continue to unveil new chunky sandals for as long as your feet need them.

Are they worth the investment? If you’re looking for a comfortable fit that will never lose that Parisian cool attitude, then yes. However, if you didn’t get on with the bulky sneakers then you might not bond with these maxi sandals either.

Our tip? Try a size down to really know if the shoe fits you in more ways than one.
