As we bid farewell to confining boots and formal footwear, we welcome summer, the season of the outdoors, sandals, and slides. The best summer sandals go where you do, from a beach bag to baggage claim to the pool and the park. Whether you're hitting the beach, hitting the road, or just hitting pause, a quick and easy go-to pair of summer sandals is a must.
In addition to being easily portable, sandals should also be durable — and let’s not forget nonslip. Look for options made with high-quality materials from reputable manufacturers. Versatility and styling are other important factors to keep in mind. A pair that can transition seamlessly from afternoon playtime to an early casual dinner can save you time, money, and luggage space during summer travels. Look for sandals that can easily dress up or down, offer a balance of comfort and style, and pair well with different outfits and accessories.
Above all, summer slides and sandals should be comfortable, able to trek with you wherever your summer journeys take you. For optimal comfort, look for sandals with cushioned footbeds, arch support, and adjustable straps, if applicable. Here are our top picks for the best summer sandals and slides that you can wear all summer long.
