When summer rolls around, I find that I gravitate towards a flat sandal to wear with my dresses and smart casual/ mummy uniform outfits. The sandal has to be easy to slip on and off and it has to be a little edgy or have some sort of detail that makes them special. Life is too short to wear boring sandals.
I’m also very fussy about the sole. If the sole is thin, I won’t buy the shoes. I find a thin sole is very hard on my feet and offers no support or comfort when walking.
I can’t always afford sandals that are specifically endorsed by podiatrists, but I also know that the cheap $20 sandals from retailers won’t offer the sole support that I require.
I’ve found Airflex offer a great range of sandals that are comfortable, affordable and have a supportive sole.
I was recently sent these Django and Juliette Black Pandy Sandals which I LOVE. It can be daunting choosing a shoe online because who knows what the fit will be like?
I’ve learned what styles suit my foot shape and I know that I’m a 41 or size 10 in most shoes sizes.
As soon as I put these black sandals on, my feet were in heaven. I know that I will be getting a lot of wear out of them this summer. They are the type of sandal that can be dressed up or down – and look equally good worn with a dress or jeans/pants.
I don’t own a lot of shoes like some fashionistas as I tend to wear the same shoe/s over again if it’s versatile enough to go with what I’m wearing.
I’ve found 8 summer sandals that go with everything, sourced from Styletread.

When looking for a versatile sandal, look at the colours you wear consistently during summer. Then choose your sandal accordingly. I own a black pair of sandals and tan sandals. I also own white Birkenstocks and definitely want to add a rose gold pair of sandals to my collection.
What do you look for when buying a sandal for summer? Do you tend to wear flats or something with a heel during the day?
