The best sandals for women are those that go with everything and last multiple holidays and summers in the city. Such a versatile sandal has the potential to be your most-used summer shoe, pairing just as well with your tailored trousers as it does with your wedding guest dress. The trick to finding the perfect pair? Consider what you want to wear them with and then refine the search by deciding on your non-negotiables. Do you want them with a heel or without a heel? With a back or with a buckle? Maybe you prefer suede over leather? If you want to wear your sandals in the city, then comfortable options are key. Luckily, choosing a pair that allows you to dash from your desk to meetings and back again is made easier with our selection of walking and comfort-first sandals, which have been personally trialled and selected by Vogue staffers.
Once you’ve found the the perfect style, you’ll find yourself reaching for your sandals day after day. They’ll take you from the office to dinner, and they’ll be the first thing you throw in your suitcase before a hot holiday or summer staycation. Sturdy, technical sandals from Teva and Cecilie Bahnsen will provide ultimate comfort, while fisherman sandals, from Grenson and Loewe, or stylish leather flip-flops, courtesy of The Row and Toteme, are ideal for warmer days at the office.
