I Refuse to Wear Sandals With Heels—Here Are My Favorite Flat Ones to Buy
At 5'10", it's safe to say I don't need any more height, but I also have plenty of other reasons for staying away from heeled sandals right now. Like many of you, I pretty much started denouncing fussy clothes the second week of quarantine, so I'm fully committed to all things comfortable. As far as I'm concerned, making the leap from house slippers to real sandals is hard enough, so why add in heels?
Below, I've rounded up some of my favorite flat sandals on the market right now. I included plenty of under $100 versions, including the perfect strappy white sandals and my ideal pool sides. In case you're ready to splurge, I also included some fun new shoes by Prada and other luxury designers. Scroll down to shop my picks.

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
