Until last summer, I never owned or wore sandals. I was foot-conscious. I also questioned my taste in sandals, unsure of what was “cute” and “stylish” and what was “old lady.” (Anyone else have these fears and paranoias? No? Just me?)
Truth be told, it’s too hot not to wear sandals in the summer here,, and I needed to overcome my insecurities. So I’m looking to add a few more fashionable and versatile pairs to my closet.
That being said, sandals are so insubstantial. I can’t imagine paying a lot of money for them when they’re essentially a few straps of fabric or leather attached to a cardboard heel. I’m happy to pay $150 for an amazing pair of comfortable leather flats that I’ll wear 3 times a week, but spending that on sandals? Nope. Nada. Ain’t gonna happen. That’s a closet compromise.

When I’m shopping for sandals, I’ve had success with Ideeli, Rue La La, Hautelook, and Amazon frequently. My favorite brand for sandals (so far!) have been Seychelles. They’re comfortable and well-made, and much more affordable at a half price discount.
