The 30 best summer sandals for men and women

I’m over clunky shoes the minute there’s a glimmer of sunshine in the sky, and because flip-flops will only get you so far, a range of sandals is constantly in rotation for the warmer months. Sandals have even appeared in event dressing, with Alexander Skarsgård stepping out in Valentino Rockstud flip-flops on the Sundance red carpet earlier this year.

Thong sandals aren’t for everyone, and plenty of more reserved options offer extra coverage; from comfort-first and office-friendly to dressy, these picks aim to strike a middle ground between function and fashion. For women seeking comfort, Archies arch support flip-flops provide proper arch support in a minimal flip-flop silhouette.

Teva’s Midform Infinity sandal adds a slight platform and secure fit with elastic lacing, while the John Lewis x Rejina Pyo flatforms pair cushioned bases with breathable mesh uppers for a light, stable feel.
