Whether you’re going on a trip to the tropics this summer or just taking a walk through your neighborhood, you’re going to need a set of comfy shoes for the journey. The key word here is casual. One of the most important styles to have is a travel-friendly flat. Maiyet’s two-tone leather sandals (on NET-A-PORTER for $416.50) are made for walking, which is absolutely essential on vacation – you don’t want to be tromping through some of the most beautiful places in the world when all you can focus on is cringe-worthy pain. See which other styles will get you through the end of August…
Sneakers
Superga 2750 Cotu Classic: Classic is right! These sneakers go with everything from a pair of hiking shorts to a cute floral mini dress. Sunny summer yellow seems appropriate, but I’ll let you make the call – there are nearly 20 color options. On Zappos for $65.
Flip Flops
Joie A Plage Palmetto Sandals: Most shoes just can’t hack it at the beach. When it comes to facing the elements, you’ve got to have a sandal with grit. Joie’s flip flops offer function and exciting neon flavor. On Shopbop for $102.40 (from $128).
Espadrilles
Jimmy Choo Preya Leather and Raffia Wedge Sandals: Cork and raffia – does it get more summery?? These neutral wedges will get tons of wear. On NET-A-PORTER for $416.50 (from $595).
High-Heeled Sandals
Lanvin Crystal-Embellished Suede Sandals: Okay, you can’t be casual all season – there are too many parties to attend! A nice pair of strappy heels is a must-have. On NET-A-PORTER for $1,680 (from $2,800).
