Typically for me, the start to summer isn't all iced coffees, picnic lunches, and sundresses. Sure, those things are part of it, but it also means I've got Band-Aids on deck while I hope to break in both new shoes and the ones that have been collecting dust in my closet for the last eight or so months. This year, however, I've resolved to not allow sandal season to be synonymous with blister season—and I've got a plan.
How will I do this, you ask? By shopping, of course! I kid, but not really, because while I will be partially sticking to my own old pairs that I know don't hurt (like my go-to Birkenstocks), I did also just spend hours sleuthing Nordstrom to find a ton of new styles that have promising reviews that specifically mention comfort, too. From tons of affordable pairs to a handful of designer sandals I'd be willing to invest in, below are 28 picks you can't go wrong with this summer if you're looking to keep it chic and comfy with capital C's. Ready to get shopping? Simply keep scrolling to see my picks.
