Finding the Best Sandals


Come summertime, most people live in sandals. There are thousands of different sandal styles from which to choose, so how will you ever decide? A few pairs of the hottest sandals for this summer can keep you cool and comfortable.

If you plan to hike, go wading, or like to camp, look into adventure sandals, like TEVA. They are designed to be comfortable when walking trails or doing other outdoor activities, and will stay on your feet no matter what. Another practical sandal type that’s also very trendy this summer is Crocs. These shoes are waterproof and come in bright colors, in sizes for the whole family.

For casual sandals, look to flip-flops, a perennial summer favorite. Flip-flops come in hundreds of styles and colors, from basic black plastic and foam flip-flops to styles in leather, with beads, embroidery, and other decorative touches. These are perhaps the most casual style of sandal; the foam and plastic type is usually reserved for beach wear, although the leather style looks very classy when paired with a sundress. Flip-flops are best reserved for casual activities without a lot of walking, climbing, or other physical exertion. Flip-flop style sandals are perfect for lounging by the pool when you’re on vacation. They don’t usually provide a lot of arch support, so your feet may ache after a couple of hours of walking in flip-flops.

This summer, gladiator sandals are one of the trendiest footwear styles out there. This style is perfect for everywhere, and comes in every style imaginable from flats to high heels. Most are black, although copper, brown, and other colors are also popular. Gladiator sandals have shown up in the collections of hundreds of designers. These multi-strap sandals are a unique style that can be worn with shorts, skirts, or jeans. Just don’t spend a lot of time in the sun wearing gladiator sandals, or you’ll end up with strange tan lines.

For evening wear, look towards slides, wedges, or strappy versions in leather or other classic materials. Candies is a popular line of shoes known for their slide sandals. Wedge sandals are a comfortable way to add a little extra height, and they are always in style. Look for cork or wooden heels and ribbon or fabric wraps for around your ankle.

Summer is a great time to wear fun, playful sandals in bright colors. Sandals come in styles from rugged adventure footwear to high-fashion, runway-ready heeled versions. The best sandals are those that fit your personality and the activity you will be doing. You don’t want to wear high-heeled gladiator sandals when camping, or a pair of adventure sandals for a formal dinner. Although many people think of sandals as strictly a casual footwear option, strappy sandals look great at any formal occasion. Always look for comfortable sandals, since you want to enjoy your summer rather than worrying about blisters.
