I Found 25 Pairs of Stylish Beach Sandals, and I Thought I'd Share
Every time I go on vacation, I run into the same problem: I pack my favorite heels and sneakers but forget a pair of beach sandals. While I do believe that sneakers work for basically any occasion, they tend to look a little out of place in the sand. Plus, do we really want to risk ruining our favorite sneakers? Probably not. Therefore, investing in at least one pair of sandals for the season is imperative. But I'd note that there are a couple of ground rules when it comes to finding the ideal pair of beach sandals. They need to be lightweight and fuss-free and look great with just about any swimsuit in my collection. They also need to look fashionable enough for me to wear when I'm not on the beach.
Luckily, there are tons of options to choose from this summer—from elevated pairs of flip-flops to comfy-looking slide sandals. Ahead, you'll find a roundup of the season's best sandals based on reviews, quality, versatility, and trends, ensuring that you won't make the mistake of forgetting to pack a pair of shoes for the beach ever again.
Review Highlight: "This is my second pair in this style, just in a different color. I love the consistent comfort and how well it handles various terrains (cobblestone streets, city pavements, etc.) with no issues whatsoever. I'm already considering what color I'll get next!"
Review Highlight: "I finally found the perfect sandal to wear with dresses, bikinis, and jeans. I love the rigid on the sole to stabilize me from slipping. It's the perfect height heel for someone that likes to be in fashion but closer to the ground like me. This pair is truly a touch down for me."
Review Highlight: "I recently bought these sandals to take on a vacation, and they were absolutely perfect! Comfortable right out of the box—I'm talking zero blisters even after miles of walking on my first day wearing them. They're about as padded as a sandal like this possibly can be, which makes them comfortable to wear all day. They obviously don't provide as much support as other sandals would, but then again, I wasn't expecting support. These are just as stylish with jeans as they are with dresses, and they fit at the beach as well as in the city."
