There's clearly (no pun intended) a quick rise in the clear shoe trend. So much so that we are deeming it the biggest shoe trend of the summer. Well, one day, while spending too much time on Instagram, as one does, I came across a wild discovery—at least to me it was wild. One of my fellow editor friends bought the coolest pair of clear heels on Etsy, and I had never been so jealous. I quickly opened up the site, searched "clear PVC shoes" and was overjoyed with what I found.

Coming in funky varieties of shapes with all sorts of unique embellishments, I was instantly convinced that when it comes to this shoe trend, searching for the Cinderella slippers of my dreams should always be done on Etsy first. Beyond the fact that buying this summer shoe trend on Etsy means you are getting a pair no one else will have, it also means you're about to save a lot of money. I was yet again shocked to find that each shoe I loved rang in at under $40. The best versions of the It shoe of the season for basically nothing? That's a shopping hack we're going to tell all our friends about.

Below shop my favorite clear summer shoes on Etsy that are under $40 in addition to a few more I've been coveting.
