Summer hasn’t even started and we’re already bored of our basic flip flops and worn-out slides. Anyone else with us? If so, here are five huge for summer 2020 sandal trends that will take you around the block, to the beach and everywhere in between.
1. Backless Sandals With Arch Support
Birkenstock Arizona Big Buckle Slide Sandal
It’s hard to remember a recent summer where Birkenstock’s weren’t trending. However, this style is updated for 2020 with XL buckles—just look at them shine.
Vionic Rio Woven
Podiatrists love Vionic for their sole-hugging styles. Turns out, they’ve got some really cute designs!
Freedom Moses Leopard-print Plastic Pool Slides
The only bad thing about these slides? There are simply too many patterns to choose from (tie dye, leopard print and beyond!).
Soludos Clara Knotted Sandals
If they’re good for your feet and look good with half your summer clothes (denim shorts included), you’re guaranteed to get lots of wear out of them.
Seychelles Tube Slide Sandals
Yeah, you might not want to get these leather sandals wet after a dip in the pool. (But you should wear them with a floaty, romantic dress.)
BUY IT ($109)
Schutz Beach Please Pool Slide Sandals
Looking for a pair of statement-making slides? It doesn’t get much better than these.
Melissa Beach 3db Rain Slides
So you can represent Pride while hitting the beach or pool.
New Balance 202
We’re all about this lime green shade (but if you’re not, this affordable option comes in coral pink and black, too).
Madewell Lori Sandal In Leopard Print
We know, leopard print is a neutral, but when combined with this many straps, it becomes trendy again.
Bells & Becks The Capriana Pink/rose Gold
A strappy flat like you’ve never seen before. Seriously, we’ve never seen one with amazing diagonal stripes like these, from Bells & Becks.
Anthropologie Daydream Strappy Sandals
They might be strappy, but these shoes are easy to put on and take off. Perfect for those days you end up at the beach and just need to put your toes in the sand.
Sanctuary Break Strappy Sandals
Here’s proof that extra-strappy sandals can be both stylish and comfortable.
Truffle Collection Platform Espadrille Tie Leg Sandals
A sturdy platform & ankle-supporting ties make these sandals super walkable.
Isabel Marant Anira Mid Heel Strappy Sandal
Suede ropes and a subtle snakeskin print make for an unexpected (but really chic) combo.
Brother Vellies Bike Shoes
They’re called “Bike Shoes” but you probably want to save these bad boys for a special occasion. BTW, Brother Vellies is a Black-owned shoe brand that handcrafts their designs in South Africa, Ethiopia, Kenya and Morocco.
Raye Ambrosia Sandal
Square heel, adjustable ties, gorgeous caramel color, can’t lose.
Tory Burch Patos Disk Sandal
Yes, you can rock woven with hardware. Let Tory Burch show you how.
Kaanas Key West Woven Slide
These slides are the epitome of timeless; in fact, they look like they could be a carefully maintained hand-me-down from your grandmother (in the best way possible).
Wandler Isa Woven Leather Mules
This mule shape is Wandler’s signature style. And now, it’s been given the summer treatment.
Souliers Martinez Procida Sandals
Introducing: The only shoes you’ll want to wear from now until Labor Day (and maybe a few weeks beyond that, too).
