I don’t know about you, but sandals are the only shoes I’ll be wearing on my feet from now until mid-September. They are comfortable, beautiful and allow my feet to breathe even on the hottest days. Fortunately, there are plenty of fun, stylish styles and styles to choose from, whether I want to keep it casual in flats or elevate my look with a heel.
So far, I’ve found many of my favorite summer sandals at Nordstrom, which boasts a great selection of brands and styles. The only problem? The trendiest selections go fast, and the retailer’s best-selling pieces are flying off the shelves. Thankfully, a few of the chic sandals available are still available and ready to be added to cart. Just make sure you grab them sooner rather than later – there’s no telling how long these will last!
13 of Nordstrom’s Most Wanted Sandals for Summer
1. What we like: These soft leather slides have it all: a comfortable sole for lots of walking, metal details for a premium feel and a small heel so you don’t feel too low. Neutral colors also mean they go with anything. Grab them while you can!
2. Runner up: Dolce Vita flat sandals look impossibly cute, whether you pair them with denim shorts or a cute sundress. They have enough cushion to be really comfortable, and the elastic straps provide a flexible fit.
3. Comfy Classic: You can’t go wrong with Birkenstock slides. Gold bands lift them up, making them feel more versatile. Also, they are waterproof, so they are perfect for the beach or pool.
4. Perfect for the pool: Skip the flimsy flip-flops for your next swim day and wear these jelly T-strap sandals instead. Sleek, cool and stylish, this pick is practical and adorable — and waterproof!
5. Strappy Flats: Thin straps, metallic gold and a soft ankle strap make these flat sandals feel feminine and elegant. They have an almost Greek inspired look that makes them wear any outfit.
6. Select a Date: Step into these sophisticated heeled sandals if you’re stepping out somewhere special. With a square toe and heel, and that strappy, modern design, this pair is sure to stand out.
7. Trendy Style: Gel flats are a big trend this summer, and you can step into them with Sam Edelman’s Mary-Jane flats. They are very cool and have a fun nostalgic feel, with just a modern touch.
8. Retro Feelings: These platform sandals feel like they came out of the 1970s in the best possible way. The ankle strap and block heel keep the style strong without looking too flimsy.
9. Daily Attendance: Everyone should have at least one pair of flip-flops in their closet, and these are a great contender. They have a small height platform feel, a protective bed for comfort and a wide thong strap that won’t leave you with blisters.
