Trust Me—These Designer Sandals Are Worth the Money
When it comes to sandals, there’s definitely no requirement to spend big. I’ve come across countless under-$100 pairs that I love and would personally buy or recommend to a friend. Of course, if you are in the market to splurge on a new summer shoe, there’s always an upside. Designer sandals aren’t just buzzy or on-trend—though, they often are those things. They’re also built to last, meaning if you choose a pair that’s timeless in design, it can stick with you for years and years, just as some of my own favorites have.
On that note, I recently perused the world of high-end sandals to round up the best of the best out there right now. From classics such as Loro Piana and Hermès to newer names like A.Emery and Amanu, consider the below your guide to the best styles and brands on the luxury market. Ready to see what made the cut? Simply keep scrolling to get started and to shop my picks.
I've had this exact pair of sandals for at least seven years, and it's still going strong.
At first glance, these seem too out-there to be classic, but to me, they're sandals I'd return to summer after summer.
If you're going to shell out for leather flip-flops, consider these.
Snakeskin is the perfect neutral print that makes any outfit more interesting.
Raffia and fisherman sandals will always reemerge in the summer, so why not combine the two trends?
