Summer Sandals

Summer Sandals

So I wanted to follow up our mens summer footwear blog with a look at the world of womans sandals. There’s a revolution going on in the footwear world at this summer, low profile, subtle dainty shoes are out and this summer is all about the big, in your face footwear statement’s! In a shift from style to substance it’s all about the statement pieces and standing out. So who are the big winners in this? Well you first and foremost, aside from being in touch with the latest trends you girls get to look super stylish and wear something comfortable on your feet. You might find one or two pairs need a little wearing in to allow the foot-beds to mould to your feet like with the Birkenstocks. This will only take a week or two however and once done they don’t just look a lot of fun, your feet will literally love you for buying them. The biggest benefit with the othopedic look is the fit and the level of support they offer you. Unlike traditional footwear most of the styles we’ve selected below are specifically designed to support on and around the arch aiding the motion of your feet. Another point here as well if you’re going to try some for the first time is to make sure you get a proper fit.

So what shoes do we recommend?

We love the toe slider sandals this summer and you can’t go wrong with a pair of Place’s take on the traditional favourite.

Skater style Vans Authentic Lo Pro. £44.99 (Floral Tawny).
Skater style shoes are still massively in style this summer,  they’ve gone through a bit of an evolutionary phrase over the past few years but the low profile designs are really popular and consistently prove to be one of the biggest competitors for the Converse market. This particular style have a really simple design as you would expect but a funky kitsch fabric design.
