From an elegant leather sandal to a comfortable slide: women's slippers and sandals are the ultimate summer shoes. Below you'll find the styles, brands and what to look for for both comfort and style.
Short answer: choose a leather sandal or slipper for a polished summer look and a slide for comfort in water. Pay attention to a good footbed and fit — some models run large.
The summer styles at a glance
The women's summer shoe comes in many forms. A refined leather sandal looks elegant with a dress or skirt, while a slide or footbed sandal is casual and comfortable. A heel or wedge heel adds a touch more allure for an occasion.
Choose based on occasion: a comfortable slide for everyday wear and by the water, a smart sandal for the city or a summer event. Think Scholl, Liu Jo, Kurt Geiger, UGG, Michael Kors and Fantasy Sandals. Browse the full range at women's slippers & sandals.
Comfort and fit
A supportive footbed keeps your feet fresh on warm days and prevents fatigue when walking a lot. Also pay attention to the width and material of the straps: soft, adjustable straps provide the best fit.
Sizing varies by model and brand. Consult the size chart on the product page and choose a model with adjustable straps if unsure.
- An anatomical footbed provides comfort during long summer days.
- Adjustable straps offer a better fit for narrow or wide feet.
Styling
A leather sandal looks beautiful with a summer dress or linen trousers; a slide works with a casual look of shorts or jeans. Keep the colour neutral for maximum versatility, or choose a statement colour as an accent.
Metallic and nude tones are versatile and work with almost any summer outfit.
Care: keeping them looking good
A leather sandal stays beautiful longest with a little care. Treat leather or suede beforehand with a protective spray and wipe them clean after wearing with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
Footbed slides and rubber models can be rinsed with cold water. Let them dry at room temperature, out of direct sunlight, so the material stays supple.
