1. Some fanciful Chinese Laundry sandals that prove charms belong on more than just bracelets.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising Review: "Chinese Laundry executed how they attached the charms perfectly — i.e. they will not move around much and the extra ones simply clip on. The charms do have the risk of biting into your skin and even scratching/scraping you a bit. Nothing that a little extra care in setting up, wearing, and walking will not fix. They are really cute. Wish they had more charms around the ankle part, (there are charms only at the top of the foot and ends of the leather strip). Might consider using the extra pom-poms for just that. Love the price. Others of the same style are just too pricey and not even leather." —shoeholic

2. Cute striped espadrilles perf for beach outings or anytime you want to look nautical AF.

Promising Review: "I have been searching for leopard-print ballerina shoes for about four to five months now. I went up a half size, (I am an 8 and I ordered a 8.5). Now the straps are a bit loose on my ankles, but I have smaller ankles than normal." —Rebecca I. Perkins

target.com

Promising Review: "I have never gotten more compliments on a pair of shoes. I had them in black and left them on my car one night and they got stolen so I bought them again, one in each color because they're my absolute favorite shoes. They're appropriate for just about any situation, they look great with or without tights, and they're fantastic for dancing because they don't slip off. They do scuff a little because they're suede, but they still look great." —Hannah

7. Some jelly cutout flats that are as pretty as a picture...and Crocs! (No, but really.)

zappos.com

Promising Review: "My new favorite shoes! They do take a few wears to break them in, (they hardly need it; they just pinched my one toe the first few times). Very cute. The only thing I could see causing issues is that I have very narrow feet and they still rubbed the sides of my toes until I broke them in." —Rachel S

8. These fantastic fringed sandals so you can put your cash toward a vacation instead of the original Aquazzura ones.

Promising Review: "Saw these on another famous shoe designer website for $80 dollars and they're sold out in black. These Target sandals are well-made and so cute and for only $22.99. You can't beat that. They're a spring season must have." —Erica

Get them from Target for $22.99. / Available in sizes 5.5–11.

9. A pair of glitzy Nine West slingbacks that'll make strangers ask "Where are you going in those fancy shoes?"

amazon.com

Promising Review: "I love that they have a smooth clear coat over the glitter! Makes them look cleaner and more durable. They fit well. I haven't worn them out yet but assume there may be some rubbing from the strap based on how it felt when I wore them around the house so I will likely get thin padding to help prevent that. The bottoms of the shoes grip surprisingly well considering how smooth they look. They look so amazing on! I have thin feet so the length fits well but there is some wiggle room around the foot. However, since the length fits the strap is perfectly secure. I wear size 8 in most shoes and that is what I ordered." —Caitlin

Get them from Amazon for $27.86+. / Available in sizes 5.5–10.5, four colors.

10. Some furry Steve Madden slides for the most glam version of your lazy self.

Promising Review: "Love love love these adorable slides! Perfect as a flip-flop, slipper, and slide! I have a narrow foot, so the 'snugness' of the shoe worked perfectly for me! Snug, but not tight! They are so cute and fun I am going to order another color!" —amy n crews

Get them from Amazon for $32.13+. / Available in sizes 5–11, nine colors.

Promising Review: "I just got them today and they are REALLY IMPRESSIVE! I was a bit anxious about the 'fur' and 'leather' but these are amazing!
