9 Sandal Brands Our Editors Have Been Wearing for Years (and Still Love)
Summer is in full swing, which means there's a good chance that sandals are at the top of your list if you're shopping for fashion items right now. Sure, there are a handful of other warm-weather essentials one should definitely have handy right now, but footwear is really the foundation of an outfit, and no matter how perfect the top half of your summer 'fit is, if you're stuck pairing it with boots, well, I'm not sure how much it counts.
To help you out (both this summer and next), today, I decided to poll my colleagues on the sandal brands they've been wearing for years and recommend every chance they get. This way, you'll not only have a trusty pair for this season, but you’ll likely also want to hold on to them for the next time the temperatures rise. To read about and shop all 10 of the brands that made the cut, simply keep scrolling.
Neous
"Neous is my absolute favorite for heeled sandals. They're elegant, fashion-forward, and absolutely worth the money. I end up wearing my pairs from the brand so frequently that I have to remind myself to slow down lest I run them into the ground!"
Tibi
"I love Tibi's sandals so much because they always feel unique and special but are so wearable at the same time. Once you invest in a pair, you'll never want to get rid of it."
BY FAR
"BY FAR is one of my favorite sandal brands by a long shot. The brand makes bags and other shoe styles, but the sandals are really what put the name on the map. I love how simple yet striking the styles are, and you can always count on a new version of a cult favorite to come out each season. If you're looking for sleek sandals you can wear with everything this summer, do yourself a favor and buy a pair."
Staud
"Staud sandals are my favorite as of late. Its styles are definitely trendy without being too trendy, and some are even a little quirky, but they're all completely wearable. I also find them to be extremely comfortable (trust me—I've walked for miles in them) and well-made. Plus, the price point is better than many comparable brands."
Adidas
"I'm a slides kind of guy, and I've been wearing classic silhouettes from Adidas for years. The Adilette style is so affordable and is the most comfortable pair of slides I own—even more so than some of the designer picks I have."
Soludos
"I've probably worn these Soludos sandals hundreds of times over the years. They're super comfortable, easy to slide on and off (which is crucial), and truly go with everything because they're neutral. I own them in both brown and white."
Studio Amelia
"Accessory brand Studio Amelia designs the perfect minimal sandals, ranging from flats to strappy heels that fit perfectly into my wardrobe. What I love most is they're casual enough to wear with swimwear but can also be dressed up."
Birkenstock
"No matter what shoe trends come and go, I continue to be obsessed with Birkenstocks. Not only are they super comfortable, but they're also really easy to wear with shorts, jeans, and dresses alike. You can't go wrong with the original Arizona Soft Sandals, and I'm loving the cool new colors and chic updated details (such as big buckles) that the brand has been coming out with lately."
Ancient Greek Sandals
"Ancient Greek Sandals makes the dreamiest minimal-style sandals that I end up wearing on repeat summer after summer and on many a beach vacation because so many of its styles simply go with everything. They're made from quality materials, so they really will last for years to come."

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
