The Investment Sandals That’ll Get You Through This Entire Spring / Summer

If there’s one area you should drop dollars in, it’s footwear. Unlike fashion, which can be tricky to navigate when it comes to where to spend/save, footwear needs to be high quality and comfortable. Scrimping will only lead to blisters and nights spent leaning on any hard surface you can possibly find.

We’ve rounded up our favourite strappy heels and comfy flats for the warmer months – they might cost you a bit, but damn if these aren’t the most babe’n, versatile shoes around.

JAGGAR WOVE HEEL

Jaggar Wove Heel in Nude, $169.95

Mules are sticking around since their ~hot moment~ last summer, but rather than stick to simple styles – pick up a pair that have something interesting happening, like these woven ones from Jaggar.

POSSE ZIMI SLIDES

Posse Zimi Slides, $159

As you can see, woven, textured slides are clearly having a 2017 moment. These ones from Posse are simple enough to work with everything in your wardrobe (day or night), but make their own style statement at the same time.

ANTIK BATIK FLOW SANDALS

Antik Batik @ The Iconic Flow Sandals, $439

If minimalist is nowhere near your personal aesthetic, these absolute stunners will please your detail-oriented eye. They’re perfect for the luxe bohemian, or anyone who loves summer for the colour that it brings out in the fashion world. Just try not to have a good day wearing these.

SENSO BEC SANDALS

Senso Bec Sandal, $229

If you love the look of the Adidas Originals Adilette Slides but not their chunkiness, Senso have you covered. There’s a sport throw to the Adidas brand here without being in “rip off” territory, and given these slides are leather, they feel that bit more sophis.

ATP FELICIA

ATP @ The Iconic Felicia, $389

Cork details are v v v 70’s, the decade du jour for summer. These ATP mules use the material perfectly, teaming with a moss green suede – another tip? Don’t stick to black and tan this season. Picking a shade that’s not too out there keeps it in the “goes with everything” range.

CAMILLA AND MARC PASQUALA SANDAL

Camilla and Marc Pasquala Sandal, $399

There is nothing that could possibly come close to how simple and minimalist these sandals are – they’re the perfect fashion-girl summer shoe.

ANCIENT GREEK SANDALS THAIS

Ancient Greek Sandals Thais @ Net A Porter, $199.25

See? Mossy green is having a moment. These velvet slides are the perfect workday-appropriate sandal – you know, the kind you love because you can rep them in meetings and at functions and look seriously pulled together, but secretly you’re also super comfortable and your feet aren’t crying.

SOL SANA GINNY MULE

Sol Sana Ginny Mule, $189.95

Sometimes, you just need to dial up your shoe game to DISCO LEVEL. What is summer without a set of bloody fabulous party heels. These cover all the bases – shimmery, colourful, and most of all – comfy. The block heel means you won’t be teetering around til 3am.

ALIAS MAE NIACIN

Alias Mae Niacin, $159.95

You know how grandpa sneakers are trending? Well, so are granny sandals. Think chunky soles and large straps – maximum comfort and security, just like your nan loves.

ZIMMERMANN CROSS STRAP SANDAL

Zimmermann Cross Strap Sandal, $395
