Ruffles, Rhinestones and Kitten Heels

In the summer, cute sandals are a must-have. Styles and materials change each year with the trends, but a few basics can be counted on.

Since I’m on the tall side, I avoid too much of a heel, but in the summer, with a cute sundress, a pair of kitten heel thong sandals are something I reach for time and again. My favorite pair look like classic flip flops, but are made of black leather, have a kitten heel, and have small rhinestones on the straps. They can be dressed up or dressed down.

For a more casual look this summer, I’ll be looking forward to my cute Gap sandals. I loved them so much I got them in two colors, black and tan with gold threads. They are flat, have ruffles along the top of the foot and have an ankle strap around the back. They make my size 10 feet look dainty and cute, and look like something from a higher end store. My first thought when I saw them was “These look like they are from Anthropologie!”

Propet Marina Walker Sandals

My absolute favorite summer footwear is my Propet Marina Walker sandals. In truth I wear them all year long, unless there is snow on the ground! They are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn, and I feel they are versatile enough to wear anywhere, for almost any occasion. I wear them with shorts, pants, dresses and skirts. They are white leather, with two adjustable looping straps across the top of the foot, very feminine in appearance but extremely rugged and durable as they are made for walking. I have walked miles and miles in these sandals and have never had any issues with blisters or sore feet. They offer excellent arch support.

I love my sandals!

Two Words: Strappy Sandals

Summer is just around the corner, ladies- and we know that means two words (no, not “bikini season,” people do occasionally wear actual clothing during summer, shocker!)… strappy sandals! Like Carrie Bradshaw, I long to wear strappy sandals all winter long, and alas, the time for open toed shoes is finally upon us. Gladiator sandals and variations on it are back in style this summer, (and you thought that was a fad!) so the more straps the better. Just remember to keep those toenails neat and painted, we all know beautiful shoes deserve beautiful feet. That also means trying on shoes thoroughly to make sure they aren’t creating friction that will result in nasty blisters and lesions. Foot injuries are never in style, so even if they may be gorgeous shoes, they are worthless if you can’t walk in them without limping. Comfort + fashion = bliss.
