These Are A Few Of My Favorite Shoes
Summer is possibly my favorite foot season. Oh sure, winter boots are more practical (and probably have better arch support) and there is something so lovely about a good fall oxford (and don’t forget your Springtime wellies!) but to me, there is just nothing better than the lightweight Summer shoe.
Every summer I gravitate toward the same exact arsenal of footwear, with little to no deviation. Sure, some years I’ll try something trendy, but generally I wear the same shoes all summer every summer, and I recommend all of them with two giant thumbs up!
After the jump, my favorite summertime shoes. Hope you enjoy!

Kork-Ease Bette Vachetta
I love the nerdy throw-back of a sturdy pair of Kork-Ease sandals. (And I also love how insanely comfortable and good for your feet they are--I walk a ton!)
This perfect summer shoe can be found at Zappos for $150 -
Kork-Ease Hailey Wedge Sandal
If you're in need of sky high wedges that you can actually walk in, I'm going to recommend you these.
This perfect summer shoe can be found at Nordstrom for $170 -
Minnetonka Thunderbird Moccasins
The best part of these moccs is how the suede conforms and relaxes as you wear them in. I've had mine for a few years now, and they're a summer staple!
This perfect summer shoe can be found at Zappos for $40 -
Metallic Sperry Topsiders
The metallic shimmer gives them just the touch they need to steer you out of too-literal prepville.
This perfect summer shoe can be found at Zappos for $90 -
Red TOMs
TOMs. You love 'em or you hate 'em. I love mine in red. The perfect summer slip on.
This perfect summer shoe can be found at ASOS for $60 -
Bensimon Slip Ons
Do you think a Bensimon is like a French TOM? I have a pair that laces, though I wish I'd gone with the slip on instead.
This perfect summer shoe can be found at Endless for $55 -
Saltwater Sandals
Saltwaters are my summer jam. I've worn them every summer since I was a kid. I bought the pair I'm currently wearing six years ago, and they look good as new! (Though I did finally snag a new pair this week--in red!)
This perfect summer shoe can be found at Shoedaca.com for $37.99
As a French girl who only set foot in the US once, I believe I can be considered the authority and say that Bensimon are the French TOM and as a true French, you always wear the laces ones.
i’m getting those saltwaters this year! now i just have to pick a color…or five.
I bought two pairs of TOMs on eBay for $45 apiece, and they came with the TOMs canvas bag and the flag thing and all that jazz. totally possible to get a better deal online! Just think of what you could put that extra $15 towards…
I might need to check out the saltwater collection!
