11 Pairs of Summer Shoes That Are Trendy, Comfortable and Under $100
Raffia
The natural palm fiber has summer written all over it—and the bright color combos are basically a piñata for your feet.
Knotted Slides
The essence of lazy summer days, distilled into one perfect pair of sandals.
Floral Platforms
As comfy (and colorful) as Grandma’s couch.
Clear
Minimalists, this one’s for you: An invisible PVC strap gives the illusion of going barefoot (without actually going barefoot, because...gross).
Woven Mules
Slip these babies on and you may suddenly have a thirst for piña coladas.
Rainbow Pool Slides
Like a unicorn pool float you can take with you.
Braided Sandals
Turns out our favorite humidity-proof summer hairstyle makes a great shoe detail too.
Metallic Huaraches
A classic summer shoe, now with 60 percent more pizzazz.
Tropical-print Joggers
Who says arch support and cabana vibes have to be mutually exclusive?
Wood-soled Slides
We have mixed feelings about the resurgence of this early-aughts fave. On one hand, we feel ancient. But on the other…they do look cute with cropped jeans.

Tassels
What can we say? We love a shoe that does the accessorizing for us.
