From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Having stomped its way into our sartorial lookbooks this season, the chunky-boots trend is having a moment – and there are plenty of styles making the case for the chunkier, the better.
While ballet pumps and Birkenstock clogs certainly have their place in transitional wardrobes, a classic chunky boot is one of the most wearable styles you’ll reach for this season and beyond – for maxis and slim-fit trousers in winter to utilitarian flair with sundresses in summer.
One brand with no shortage of bang-on-trend chunky boots is Danish label Ganni, which has earned itself a star-studded fan base and fashion-forward following of #GANNIGirls on Instagram, owing to its fun, zany street-style aesthetic.
Fans of Ganni’s may already have their eye on the label’s deliciously dramatic-looking knee Chelsea boots, but the knee-high look is (unsurprisingly) paired with an equally lofty price of £445.
If you’re keen to shop the look for a lot less, we’ve spotted a lookalike pair from none other than George at Asda. Sharing the same knee-high silhouette and pull-on style, they cost only £25, which is more than £400 less than the OG pair. Read on for the lowdown on both chunky styles.

Currently available in sizes three, four, seven and eight, George at Asda nails the chunky-boot trend while swapping in a faux-leather alternative. Sharing the same pull-on fit reminiscent of the Chelsea boot, they also sport a zip on the inside of the shoe (which might be a blessing when taking them off). The pièce de résistance seems to be the super chunky sole with stacked layers for extra impact, which would team perfectly with an autumnal bomber jacket and denim midi skirt.

Nodding to the classic Chelsea-boot style with their elasticated side panels, it looks as though Ganni’s chunky OG pair has a slightly shinier finish and is made of real leather, with pull tabs and toe caps for extra impact. The show-stopping heel – which echoes the Prada monolith loafers that have been everywhere this season – come in at 5cm with a geometric pattern that feels more fashion-forward than your usual Chelsea boot.
