The “Livin’ La Vida Loca” singer brought the monochromatic dressing down to his feet in patent leather shoes with chunky soles. The trend of patent leather shoes with chunky soles has been popular in recent years as the style of footwear combines the classic shine of patent leather with the edginess of a chunky sole, creating a unique look that is both stylish and practical.

The chunky sole provides added support and comfort, making these shoes a great option for daily wear. They also offer a modern twist on classic styles, making them a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
