Men's Chunky Sneakers – Mesh Lace-Up Casual Shoes with Thick Sole
These men's chunky sneakers are low-top, lace-up casual shoes with a mesh upper, layered overlays in contrasting colours and a thick, sculpted rubber sole. The lining is mesh. Easy Life Markets sells them in beige, black with green and black with grey, in sizes 39 to 44.
This is the "dad shoe" shape: a wide, heavily built sole, a busy upper made of overlapping panels, and a slightly raised heel. It gives a little extra height and a lot of presence, and it goes with almost any casual trousers. The supplier lists the shoes as breathable and lightweight.

Size Chart
Choose by foot length. These are the supplier's figures.
| Size | Foot length |
|---|---|
| 39 | 24.2 cm (9.5 in) |
| 40 | 25.0 cm (9.9 in) |
| 41 | 25.8 cm (10.2 in) |

| 44 | 28.0 cm (11.0 in) |
The supplier's chart also lists sizes 45 to 48, which are not offered here, and US and other columns that contain errors in some rows. We have left those out. Go by foot length.
How to Measure Your Feet
- Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall, wearing the socks you would wear with the shoes.
- Mark the tip of your longest toe.
- Measure from the wall to the mark in centimetres.
- Measure both feet and use the longer one.
- Choose the size whose foot length matches or is just above your measurement.
The supplier's guidance is to go up one size for wide feet and to stay at your measured size for feet of average width. If you are between two sizes, take the larger. A chunky shoe with a padded tongue fits more snugly than a slim one. If you would like help, send us your foot length and we will suggest a size.
A Straight Answer on the Details
- Title and colours. The original listing called these black white sneakers. Three colourways are on sale, and one of them is beige, so we describe the shoe by its shape.
- Upper. The supplier lists mesh. The photos show mesh panels with smooth and suede-look overlays on top. The supplier does not name the overlay materials.
- Weight. "Lightweight" is the supplier's word, with no figure. A thick sole always weighs more than a slim one, so expect a medium-weight shoe.
- Sole height. Not stated.
- Water and slip resistance. None is claimed. A mesh upper lets water in.
- Markings. The photos show lettering on the tongue and a small patch on the side. These are the maker's own markings. We sell the shoes as unbranded.
- Insole and care instructions. Not stated.
About the Style
Chunky sneakers take their look from the bulky running and training shoes of the 1990s. They came back as a fashion item in the late 2010s and have stayed. The appeal is partly comfort, because a wide base is stable and a thick midsole has room for cushioning, and partly that the shape balances wide or relaxed trousers better than a slim shoe does.
How to Wear Them
- With tapered joggers or cargo joggers, cuffed above the collar.
- With straight or loose jeans, the hem resting on the top of the shoe.
- With shorts and crew socks in summer.
- With a plain top. The shoe has plenty going on.
Black-based colourways are the easiest to keep looking clean. Beige suits lighter outfits and dry weather.
Care
- Brush off dry dirt with a soft brush. Pay attention to the grooves in the sole.
- Clean mesh gently with a cloth, cool water and a little mild soap.
- Brush suede-look overlays dry. Do not soak them.
- Wipe smooth overlays and the sole edge with a damp cloth.
- Take out the laces and wash them separately.
- Stuff the shoes with paper and dry them in the air, away from heaters and direct sun.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Heat can loosen the bond between the sole and the upper.
Who They Suit
Men who like a bold, cushioned-looking trainer for everyday wear, and anyone who wants a little extra height without a heel.
