I’m a Picky Sandals-Person—Good Thing I Found These Pairs atReplica Store
Sandals are a dime a dozen these days, but when you're wholly specific and hate 75% of them, shopping for them becomes way more of a game of unpredictability. It's hard to pinpoint what my tastes are precisely because I tend to like everything, but I can definitively say what I don't like: extremely trendy silhouettes, basic shapes that don't have a point of view, or sandals that veer too sporty. Yes, admittedly I'm a picky sandals person, but when I'm in the mood to add a pair to my summer lineup, Nordstrom is usually first on my list. Other than the fact that they carry my size (turns out a lot of places don't bother to cater to the size 11 and above set), I'm never short on options to browse through (for example, type in the word "sandals" and you'll get roughly 7000+ results).
Despite how much I tend to like very few sandals out there, I always manage to walk away with a big haul from Nordstrom. Last week I ordered 3 pairs (R.I.P. to my bank account), but there were plenty more I would've added to cart if I didn't bother to act with restraint. They range from flat commuter-friendly sandals to slightly fancier versions that would perfectly complement a pretty sundress. Since I can't buy them all, at least someone else can. Keep scrolling below to browse through all of the glorious sandals I found (and am anxiously waiting to buy).
I recently ordered these for my upcoming trip to Paris and haven't regretted a cent spent! The silhouette is super slim and compact for throwing in a small bag.
The other side of the sandal coin is the question of fancy sandals—the thin straps are minimal and great for ease of versatility.
Never underestimate the coziness of shearling.
As much as I love a heel with drama, sometimes flat is truly the way to go.
When stilettos fail, a wedge will always be the best walkable heel.
Just like the name implies, these deserve to be taken on a trip to the Italian Riveria.
Pragmatic sandals don't always have to look unsightly—here's a prime example.
If you have a bigger budget to splurge on designer sandals, here's a worthy choice.
