1. A pair of lace-up sandals that will look so sexy and sleek no matter where your summer nights bring you. These have a long strap that starts at the instep and goes all the way up to your calf, so however you tie them, your shoes will stay on all day or all night long.
2. A pair of lug-sole sandals for those who would rather be wearing combat boots rn. Cute, and comfy, what more could you want in a shoe?
3. A pair of simple ankle strap sandals that'll be such a versatile addition to your wardrobe. You can easily wear them for an occasion or just wear them every day. These were designed to be lightweight and comfy; so you cannot go wrong with these bbs! I should also add these have over 11,000 (!!!) 5-star reviews!
4. A pair of platform slides because comfort + height > all other aspects of a shoe! Lightweight, comfy, and with support? YES, please!
5. A pair of simple-yet-chic braided sandals that'll have everyone asking where you got them. The sturdy block heels offer a little somethin' extra, making them feel and look a bit more secure.
6. A pair of super strappy shoes with a low heel, so maybe you won't sink into the ground while walking outside this week. I know these are fancy, but if you wear them with a button-down and jeans, you would look tres chic!
7. A pair of wide-strap platform Crocs that'll be great for your next vacay. Since they are also water-friendly, they'll float if they slide off.
8. A memory foam one-band dress sandal to keep you comfy all day long. In case you're a bit skeptical of heels, these were designed to have a lot of traction, so your feet will hopefully stay on the ground.
9. A pair of espadrille wedges for when you're not 100% sure what to wear to your next event. These are the perfect combo of comfy, cute, and summery!
10. A pair of three-and-a-half-inch sandals that are actually comfortable. Yes, they do exist. Stunning and easy to slide on and off, these might just become your go-to special occasion shoe.
11. A pair of scrunchie sandals with kitten heels because they're so freaking cute! These have a super thick insole to keep you comfortable, no matter what kind of sticky situation you get roped into.
12. A pair of block-heel sandals that are non-slip and wear-resistant, so you can rock these every single day (literally). Square-toed, versatile, and stylish, these are calling your name (and mine, too).
13. A puffy-strapped sandal because bubbly shoes are so much fun. The puffiness adds a modern edge to these classic sandals, making them extra fab for so many summer 'fits.
14. Or a super funky pair of puffy sandals with super cool lines that'll earn you all the compliments. These are seriously too cool not to add to cart.
15. A pair of low, block heels with interesting straps because they're just ~a little bit~ different than your typical strappy leather sandal. BTW, they are designed with extra arch support *and* heel cushioning.
16. A pair of open-toe mules that come in a variety of textures and will make a fun addition to your uber-colorful summer wardrobe. Since they're all so different, I guarantee you can find a pair of these that will work for whatever kind of summer vibe you're going for.
17. A pair of sparkly kitten heel sandals with a braided strap because they look a lot more expensive than they are. They even have a padded insole, so they'll keep you and your feet happy.
18. A pair of slide-on Steve Madden two-strap sandals that have block heels for a little extra support. These would look so cute paired with your favorite pair of worn-in jeans or that new summer dress you just bought.
19. A pair of faux-wood heeled sandals for a retro look reminiscent of Candie's. They're giving major slayage in the best way and would look so stunning with your favorite boho summer look.
20. A pair of Steve Madden jelly-inspired sandals that are giving Barbiecore in the best way possible. Just imagine how cute these would be on your next beach day or for that Barbie screening you've planning to go to for weeks.
21. A Y2K inspired shoe that would be great for that black-tie wedding you've got planned this summer. These would be best paired with butterfly clips and a bubble hem dress.
22. A dainty toe-strap heel that would look amazing on you as you dine al fresco at a rooftop restaurant. Even if you're not leaving your city, these will def bring the European summer vibe to you.
23. A pair of super cute crossband sandals because they remind me a lot of the '90s and I couldn't be more into that fashion era. My personal favorite thing about these is the shiny finish because it's just so *chef's kiss.*
24. A pair of strappy slip-on sandals that would look as amazing worn to an outdoor wedding as they would be worn with distressed jeans to a concert. Simple and chic, these will look good with anything you pair them with, IMO.
25. A pair of comfy suede Toms sandals because they will work for brunch with friends but are nice enough to wear to a baby shower, too! Casual and cute, these are great to throw on with your favorite sundress.
