Spring has sprung! It's time to get a pedicure and prepare to enjoy what may be the most liberating summer yet. If you aren't quite ready to ditch the quarantine slippers for sky-high stilettos, a fabulous sandal is your best option. The Spring 2021 shows offered plenty of flat options: We saw sporty sandals at Longchamp and Anna Sui, and puffed-up thong sandals at Tom Ford and Ambush, to name just a few. The sandals below took inspiration from the runway trends, but are (mostly) affordable enough that you can hit "add to cart" next time you're on Amazon without blinking.
City girl? Try this braided square-toe style that will take you from day to night.
This platform style from Dr. Marten is perfect for those looking for extra height.
This thong sandal will take you from the city to the beach and back again.
This supremely soft leather pair is perfect if you plan on spending the summer days outside.
Pro tip: Order a size up of these genuine Kenyan leather slip-ons.
Looking for a date-night flat? This ombré python-printed leather pair is a perfect pick.
Paired with a sundress or worn to the beach, this two-strap style is perfect for most summer occasions.
