Comfy Summer Sandals

For the last decade, I’ve pretty much worn Converse in the winter and knock-offs of these Joie sandals in the summer. They’ve served me well! But this year, there are so many awesome shoes coming out of the woodwork. Here are a few sandals we’re loving…

I actually have those huarache sandals and they’re ridiculously comfortable. I’ve been walking miles and miles in them around the city. They don’t even need to be broken in!

Thoughts? Which sandals are you wearing these days? Nordstrom is having a huge sale this week — their sandals are marked way down, if you’re looking!

I revisited this post for some end-of-summer deals, and ended up buying the SeaVees Bayside Espadrille Sandal. I would have never thought to buy them on my own, but per your recommendation and the laid-back west coast styling on their site I decided they were just what I needed to finish off the summer. They got here earlier this week, and I haven’t wanted to wear any other sandal since!

Birkenstocks! Everyone in Germany is wearing them, it’s something of a time-honored tradition (it might be the first real pair of shoes for some kids…) & I’ve finally invested and gotten them this summer. They’re comfy, cute and you can walk for miles! One of my American friend who lives in Austria just recently got her first pair and she was like… why did I wait for so long and why doesn’t everyone have a pair?

The link for comparable sandals to those the model is wearing in the top photo doesn’t work. I feel misled by this article. I clicked on it specifically to find those sandals, as the title implied…

So did I. I found that Steve Madden has a bunch of minimal flat sandals minus the cross front.

Shoes like these are so versatile and surprisingly comfortable, despite the lack of support! If you keep your eyes peeled at thrift shops and such, you can find pairs for as cheap as $1 in new condition.

Timely post! Would you recommend any of these for walking in Florida summer heat? (We are doing the Disney trip this summer and I’m looking for a cute yet comfy option). I need the arch support. I’ve also heard about Flexx…has anyone else?

I have a pair of tan Flexx suede peep toes. I live in Kuala Lumpur where it’s hot & humid year round. Flexx shoes are incredibly comfy though I do rotate them with a pair of German Gabor promise sandals.

I love sandals that cover the heels — I’m eyeing those huarache sandals!! Loving this post and all the comments! Thanks, ladies!

My family comes from Mallorca, where avarcas come from, and I have spent my whole summers since childhood wearing them! I remember people looked at them weirdly before and i love that now they are all around the world. For me, they are the synonym of summer :)

I’ll put in a big plug for Nisolo shoes. I have two pairs, including the Serena sandal, which is so simple but elegant and super comfortable. I highly recommend them. And invite you to save $25 :) http://nisolo.refr.cc/SN8C2BR

Anyone know which Raen style those sunglasses are?
I’ve been wanting those huaraches for over a year now, good to hear they are so comfy!

the “avarcas” that here in Italy we call “le minorchine ” (sandals from Minorca) are my fav, I have them in basic colors to wear with almost everything, get a pair in metallic shade and you’ll wear them everyday ;) and of course birks a good pair of biks save the summer!

My favorite sandal to “get things done in” everyday are my birkenstocks! I love them. Once you break them in, they are super comfortable and sturdy!

My mom friends turned me on to Mox flats. They’re like those jelly shoes we used to wear when we were little, but they’re made from rubber. I bought them for a recent trip to Hawaii. They are really comfortable AND cute, and I could wear them while running after my toddler. They also ship quickly and come in a bunch of colors. I highly recommend them for anyone, but especially for mamas!

I have Mayari Birkenstocks and I wear them all the time and love them but I am dreaming about Kork Ease sandals next. ^_^
