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.
