14 Pairs of Sandals That Make Me Want to Show Off My Toes

We love Tevas (just see here). Not only are they the most comfortable sandals on the planet, but they are perfect for literally everything. Going to a festival? Check. Going to the beach? Check. Going to sit in the park and read? Check. As a city gal, I prefer some platform to my sandals to keep my feet as far from the dirty ground as possible, and these amped soles deliver height while allowing me to feel supported. The traction is great for any terrain, and I know these shoes are going to last for years. Plus, they look cute with some breezy pants or a casual dress.

I know what I said about preferring platforms, but this may be one of the only shoes I’ll give a pass for being close to the ground. While strappy sandals can often be uncomfortable, these straps are light and don’t tug on and rub on your foot when you walk. Plus the toe strap offers the right amount of support to keep your feet in place.

These leather sandals are super-elevated but feature a classic fit and a look that pairs well with many different outfits. With three velcro straps that allow for a snug fit, the leather upper doesn’t rub or cause blisters, and the molded insole provides ample support to keep your feet from hurting. Handmade with a cute zigzag hem on each velcro strap, these are a pair I’d take along on any vacation that involves a lot of walking (so my feet have room to breathe).

I know, I know … These are close-toed shoes and therefore have nothing to do with showing off my toes, but sometimes you need an option for when your pedicure is long overdue. You can’t be brave all the time. After seeing this Ganni pair everywhere, I had to try them, and they live up to the hype. They’re comfortable enough to wear all day and cute enough to dress up a casual moment thanks to the pop of red.

If you prefer a sleeker thong sandal, this leather pair from Steve Madden might be just right. They feature some gold detailing around the base and in the center strap, and have a back strap for extra support.

I went to Copenhagen earlier this summer, and while I knew I would leave the trip with ample style inspiration, I wasn’t expecting to see as many people wearing flip-flops as I did. These Havaianas were everywhere were paired with everything from trousers to boxer shorts! I immediately purchased a pair as soon as I got home and have worn them everywhere this summer: to the beach, to the office, to the park, you name it.

These woven slides make me feel like I belong at every farmers’ market or local coffee shop in the world, which may be one of the best feelings out there. Made of vegetable-tanned leather, the woven top molds to your feet for an ultracomfy fit. Each pair is handwoven in Medellín, Colombia, and takes 24 hours to make, so the quality and durability are unmatched. While the bottom can be slippery on certain terrains, it’s an easy fix that’s worth the beautiful craftsmanship of these shoes.

The corky wedges of our youth have been updated and there are some sleek options out there now, and thank god for that! This slip-on ivory pair will go perfectly with all your vacation outfits.

My friend is obsessed with these, and the more I see her wear them, the more I want them, especially the light-pink pair she often sports with a cute dress or miniskirt. Even Bella Hadid has even been spotted in these dad sandals, so you know it’s only a matter of time before they take over the fashion world. Made for all-terrain wear, these sandals are great for wet and dry activities and feature a cushioned sole to support your feet however you plan to wear them.

It’s time to get into fisherman sandals. The leather weaving of this pair from Free People is a bit tighter, giving it a sleeker effect, and the thick adjustable strap around the ankle will make sure these sandals fit like a glove.

While these were on my radar last summer as a pair I could sport at my local AMC for the Barbie movie release, these padded and puffy heels are still in style. The funky design features a thick three-inch heel and are made from lightweight and durable EVA foam. With a removable padded insole, they’re heels you won’t want to take off. Reviewers do recommend you try these on IRL as the sizing tends to be off. Many advice sizing down. Our very own Katja Vujic recommends them for biking!

These are the type of Dr. Martens you can get away with wearing at both a music festival and out to dinner after; we do love duality here. The three straps are adjustable, and the footbed has a soft finish. They’ve been described as comfier than other Dr. Martens, but it’s still a great idea to slowly break these in before walking in them all day, since many people noted they took a little bit to break in.

Thongs are in! While we may be talking about another type thong, the sandal version is just as good. Thong sandals are more of a casual style, but when set on a heel, it becomes an elevated classic. This pair from Reformation also comes in nine different colorways, including a light green, a denim blue, and a shiny silver, so you have plenty of options to choose from.

Vagabond has some of the best leather-shoe options out there. We love their boots just as much as their sandals. These strappy ones feature a rounded silhouette, a 40-millimeter platform, and a cushiony insole for supreme comfort to wear all day
