Personally when it comes to a summer sandal, I like to chose at least one pair that can go the distance. A pair that I can wear every single day and not have to worry if I’m going to be uncomfortable, or if it’s going to match my outfit. Running after kids, walking miles while pushing a stroller, playing at the park with the kids… whatever it is you’re doing I’m sure a great pair of everyday sandals is a must. Think of these as your sandal essential, and you can always add in something more dressy, colorful, edgy or business-y for days when your (new) go to just won’t cut it.
no 1. pons – no. 2 asos – no.3 spring – no. 4 dsw – no. 5 target – no. 6 reef – no. 7 target – no. 8 birkenstock – no. 9 ecote – no. 10 havaianas – no. 11 teva – no. 12 aldo – no.13 birkenstock – no.14 target – no.15 ecote (just like #9)
Do you have a pair of essential sandals that you already love? Which is your favorite style?

I have the havaianas, birkenstock gizehs (in patent black that i loooooove), and a pair similar to no.9 by Franco Sarto.
The gizehs are my absolute favorite – matches everything, makes every outfit look put together, fashionable, has good support, and is extremely comfortable! Love how I don’t have to buckle/unbuckle anything either. When I have my hands full with two little ones, I like the practicality of slip on sandals. The havaianas are great for the pool and beach.

I have a pair of gladiator sandals from Ecco. Love them! Walked all over Italy in them, super comfy, but stylish as well.

Great list but you TOTALLY need to add Saltwater Sandals. Mine are navy and super comfortable and go with most everything. They are made in the U.S too!

Thanks for including so many options that don’t go between the toes. I am in dire need of new sandals for summer. So many cute options.

I have a few Tory Burch sandals that I love, but took a little while to break in. Also love wedges! Those are some cute, practical options!

I was so excited to buy #5 a few weeks ago but got horrible blisters the first day I wore them! I was at a photo shoot so I couldn’t stop or change shoes, and one of my feet was actually bleeding by the end! I haven’t worked up the courage to try them again in case they needed to be broken in, and my heels haven’t fully gone back to normal either lol Why do they have to be soooooo cute?! And I also like that you can remove the little strap if you want!

@TTCbabyP: Oh no, that sounds horrible. Maybe you need to try once your feet are healed, but in much much shorter time periods.

I had a black pair of slim flip flops from Target that I used to wear EVERY DAY! But, they just broke and it makes me so sad! Of course I have other sandals, but those were definitely my “go-to” pair!
