Shop the Best Summer Sandals of 2019

Summer sandal season feels like it's within reach (on certain days), and this year, the lineup of styles on offer is more varied and plentiful than ever.

I used to be a "two or three pairs a summer" girl. Beachy flip flops, everyday leather slides, and then strappy heels for the evening would be sufficient to see me through. But as the plethora of styles has widened and acceptance of super-comfy summer sandals been given the green light by designers, it feels like there are gaps in my summer shoe-drobe that deserve to be filled.

Some classics are still sitting high in the charts and won't be going anywhere (like leather sliders and block-heel sandals). Although, we're pleased to see plenty of updates here in terms of brands and style, like Arket's super-thin strappy block heels and By Far's Brigette cylinder heels. While we've seen "dad" velcro sandals before this summer, they're set to be cooler than ever all thanks to Prada's heavy-duty and heavily documented pair.

Fresh in the mix this season, grown-up thong sandals are must-have because they are so much more fun than simple flip flops. They're coming in just about all forms—from quirky mules (with a very naked foot) to lace-up ankle wedges (á la Chloé's Wave Degradé sandals).

There are more mules without the thong-front arriving in every possible silhouette, heel height and colour. From Brock Collection + Tabitha Simmons's pretty florals to Mango's square-toed leather mules that Instagrammers are backing, you'll easily be able to find your perfect pair.
