It’s sandal season, which means showcasing those pretty feet! My clients are excited about our freak warm weather just so that they can start wearing their new sandals. The styles I have selected range from dressy to casual and cover an assortment of price points, style integrities and heel heights. They range from comfortable to extremely comfortable depending on the fussy-factor of your feet. I have the fussiest sandal feet in the world, and even I found a few pairs I could sport, weather permitting. Some styles work well for low volume feet, while others are all about filling out the silhouette. Be sure to look at all the colour options.
- Marc Jacobs Clean Metallic Wedge: A dainty little darling with the sweetest baby wedge that’s available in both metals. The ankle strap is quite comfortable, and not as horizontally cutting as you might expect.
- Born Caity Crown Collection: This one is for Team Modern Bohemian. If you can do the heel height, it’s a comfy sandal. I vote aqua.
- Sam Edelman Gigi: I have many happy clients in this flat thong sandal that Sam Edelman repeats every season. I don’t find it comfortable because I don’t like to wear straps between my toes, but I’m in the minority. It comes in many colours and patterns. Read the rave reviews.
- Sam Edelman Serena: The broad ankle strap that’s positioned above the ankle bone is the sandal look of the season, and it’s pretty comfy in a well designed sandal like this one. Great on feet that can fill out the style. Wear a low contrast colour to offset the cutting horizontal line on bare legs.
- Clarks Evant Julie: Soft leather and a cushioning footbed make these fab. Breezy perforation and a small peep toe are great style details.
- Stuart Weitzman Tieoneon: A very strappy and on trend high vamped sandal with a manageable heel height. Versatile. I can see it with shorts, dressy frocks and everything in between. Read the rave reviews.
- Zara Crossover Sling Back Hologram Sandal: Disco! The leather is not soft, but they look wonderful on the foot. Retro and modern.
- Zara Pointed Block Heel Shoes: On trend, refined, gorgeous and perfect on a low volume foot. I wish these worked for me but as with many shoes from Zara, the leather is just not soft enough. I hope they work for you.
- Vince Camuto Hannah Sandal: My clients love this one because it works with dressy and casual clothing. And it’s super comfy if three inch wedges are your thing. Soft leather and footbed.
- Nine West Vilta: Sporty and fun in the tan with orange piping. The sandal style of the year and pretty comfy. Not good on low volume feet.
- Lucky Brand Miller 2: This one is for Team ’70s. Surprisingly comfortable because of the stretchy straps. I vote peach silver.
- Ecco Omak Perf Sandal: Another sporty sandal that’s chunky in a refined way. They might run half a size large. Loving the white.
- Ecco Odense T-Strap: Another tried and tested classic style that’s a winner with some of my clients in the metallic. Very comfortable and polished casual.
- Belle By Sigerson Morrison Daisy Sandal: Fun trendy sandal that is also surprisingly comfortable if you can manage the heel height.
- Biala Jillian Wedge Sandal: The sandal is as light as a feather. You can’t feel them on your feet! Quite good for low volume feet when you size down. I like the contrasting sole.
- Sperry Top-Sider Lynbrook Sandal: An adorable casual version of the oh so trendy broad ankle strap. The straps are adjustable so it works for a range of foot widths.
- INC Fama Wedge Sandal: For a brief moment I considered getting them in the bisque. Suede shoes are really comfy and these work for low volume feet. Great wedge shape.
- Nine West Offdahook Sandal: This is the sandal that knocked my socks off. If I needed a dressy sandal, this would be it. It works well on low volume feet and the dainty heel is quite stable. Soft straps and pretty comfortable. All the colours are fab.
- Marc Fisher Bly Sandal: The softest leather of them all! Just love the shape of the higher ankle strap styling. The light blue and orange are extra fab.
- Anyi Lu Athena Sandal: Gorgeous, graphic, trendy and beautifully made. The strap is a little finicky to fasten but it’s worth the fuss. Works for a wider foot too.
- Splendid Evanston Strappy Sandal: Our forum member Cocolion recently bought these and blew me away. That criss-cross ankle strap is stunning, as is the perforated texture. Works for a wider foot.
I still don’t have any sandals and I’m almost certain that I won’t be purchasing a pair. I prefer closed shoes, period. So my go-to shoes for Spring and Summer are pointy toe pumps, wedged Converse sneakers and slipper flats. What are your go-to shoes for the warmer months?
