With Balenciaga just being named the hottest brand in fashion and its chunky Triple S silhouette dominating FW17 fashion weeks, it might be more than difficult to get your hands on much-hyped sneaker.

So if you missed out, or are just chasing the trend, we’ve put together a list of the best alternatives if you still want to rock a thick-soled sneaker this season. The list includes budget options like FILA and Zara, alongside more expensive brands like Alexander McQueen and Acne, so there should be something there regardless of budget.
