1. A flatform crisscross so cute and cozy they had me at y-ello.
2. A platform espadrilles that'll soon be your go-to pick for weekly brunch dates with your girlfriends. Carrie Brandshaw would be so proud.
3. A bedazzled pair you can wear to basically every wedding you have this summer because who really wants to be wearing heels for that long? You'll be able to dance the night away in these babies.
4. A crisscrossed leather sandal designed with a cushioned footbed so it almost feels like you're walking on clouds all day.
5. Some retro jelly slingbacks to bring you back to the 90s when they only thing you had to worry about was which jelly shoes you wanted to wear that day.
6. Or a pair of braided sandals more than 2,500 reviewers swear by for their water-resistance, comfort, and cuteness.
7. A rainbow pair you can show off your ~true colors~ in.
8. A pair of Sorel elastic sandal you won't have any problem wearing to work one day and then to the beach the next. That's how versatile they are.
9. Scalloped sandals with a heel small enough to give you a little boost of confidence, but you also won't have to worry about your feet hurting in a matter of hours.
10. A cult-favorite pair – you can ~rock~ 'em all day at a music festival without worrying about someone stepping on the back of your shoe and taking it off, forcing you to step barefoot on the ground. Yuck!
11. A gladiator you'll want to kick you feet up and relax in...because that's what summer's all about, isn't it?
12. A peep-toe sandal with a small wedge to help ~cross~ having amazing style off your to-do list.
13. A classic strappy look you won't even have to think about putting on in the morning. You can be half asleep, grab these, and know you'll be comfortable all day.
14. An embellished pair to give your normal sandal style a ~step up~. These have rhinestones *and* a cushioned footbed, so what more could you really want?
15. A pair with elastic – just slip them on as you head out the door on whatever fun summer adventure you have planned.
16. Or a t-strap one with a bohemian flair for the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.
17. A vegan chunky sandal with a light bottom so they won't slow you down during whatever fun event you plan to wear these to.
18. A simple style you can pair with your whole summer wardrobe. Jean shorts and a tee? Yep! A dress? Of course! A swimsuit? Go for it!
19. Some flat gladiators that'll have you ~fighting~ off friends who'll try and steal them from you.
20. A leopard ankle strap pair with the smallest black heel to give you a bit of a boost without worrying about feeling like you're walking like a baby giraffe all day.
21. A pair of slings that will make you feel like you're walking on a cushy yoga mat all day long...because, well, you are.
22. A classic look that's highly rated, so you know they'll be great. Especially when you walk down the street and notice another person wearing the same shoes and think to yourself, "Hmm, we both have SUCH good taste".
23. A lemon sandal because summer is pretty much the lemonade we make from the lemons of the weather the rest of the year, and these shoes prove that.
24. A hand-braided gladiator to ~wrap up~ any doubts you had about whether or not you need new sandals. After seeing these babies, you know you need to add more to your collection.
25. A pair of cut-outs with rhinestones in the design to add a bit of sparkle as you walk down the street.
26. A sandal that's worth the splurge, especially if you have problems with your feet and don't want to be stuck wearing sneakers all summer. The footbed is soft and supportive.
27. An ankle buckle sandal you could totally wear to a theme park all day and not worry about your shoes falling off during a ride because that is a real fear I have.
28. An ankle strap sandal that'll make it look like you're wearing flip flops but without worrying about actually wearing flip flops and kicking up dirt as you walk.
29. An iridescent gladiator pair that are truly showstoppers. You'll have random stranger stopping you on the street to tell you how cool these are!
Me when I see people wearing flip flips on the streets of NYC:
