We're right in the middle of sandal season, folks. When the temperatures are reaching scorching-hot levels, it's prime time to let your toes out so your feet can breathe. There are so many types of sandals out there to choose from, though! You've got slides, flip-flops, flatforms, lace-up sandals, slingbacks… The list goes on. But one huge summer shoe trend I've been seeing is toe-ring sandals, also known as toe-loop sandals. Basically, if you couldn't already guess, your big toe is the star of the show with this style. There can be a single strap around it to really make it stand out, or it can be more subtle. Make no mistake—once you spot this trend, you'll see it everywhere.
When you wear them, you'll understand why they're so popular. There's just something about the silhouette that feels so comfortable and secure on your feet. Throw on dressier heeled versions when you're going to a fancy summer soirée or slip into flat slides for a casual beach vibe. Here are 31 of the best toe-ring sandals to shop for the season.
