We live in strange and ever-shifting times. But there’s something comforting about the start of summer fashion season, when we trade our scuffed-up boots for dainty sandals that let our feet finally breathe again.
Still, that doesn’t make shopping for said sandals any less of an Olympic sport. Finding the perfect pair of comfortable, well-fitting slip-ons while scrolling through an endless array of options is fun at first, and then it’s exhausting. Thankfully, we’re giving you the best of both worlds: Below, you’ll find a whopping 60 selections to scroll through at your leisure, but curated to help you find the exact sandals you’re looking for.
Best of all, we’ve pared our picks down to the trendiest styles of the season, featuring lace-up, knotted, and woven straps, natural fibers, platform and square-toe soles, vibrant colors, and sculptural heels. Whether you’re hunting for flip flops, mules, wedges; gladiator, fisherman, or strappy sandals, you’ll find your new favorite pair in our edit of summer sandals here.
