Sandals

Sandals are perhaps the most popular summer shoes among the fair sex.... They are comfortable, fashionable, not hot and comfortable. Let's look at the most relevant models of this season together and find out where and how they can be worn.

Models

On a thick sole

Thick-soled sandals are trendy shoes for summer. The platform is ideal for everyday looks - these sandals are very comfortable, but just like shoes with heels, they make the legs slimmer and the gait more graceful.

Various platform sandals are in fashion today:

  • with grooved (tractor) sole;
  • with a thick polyurethane sole;
  • on cork or wooden soles.

The tractor-soled model will complement the stylish look in the style of the 90s, and the wooden platform will perfectly fit into the boho look.

Heels

Sandals with heels or stiletto heels are sandals. They usually keep the heel and toe open, and thanks to the heel, the leg looks more graceful. On traditional sandals, there are always clasps that help keep the shoes on the foot.

Models with thick heels are fine for everyday wear, while stiletto heels are best left for a special occasion.

Trekking

If you love hiking, traveling and spending a lot of time outdoors, trekking sandals will come in handy. They are specially designed for easy, not very long walks through the forest or mountain paths. They are also suitable for cycling. It is worth noting that they are suitable exclusively for areas with flat, smooth terrain. If you are going to navigate difficult rocky terrain, wear trekking shoes.

Another advantage of these sandals is that they are lightweight. You can take them with you as a change of footwear and change your shoes on the spot.

Greek style

Greek sandals have not gone out of fashion for several years in a row.Today, designers offer us models not only with flat soles, but also with platforms, wedges, and heels.

Classic sandals in the Greek style are sewn from genuine leather or suede. They are distinguished by an abundance of straps and weaves that can go almost to the knee. In everyday models, this design is usually low, it ends in the area of ​​the bone.

The main nuance of such shoes is that they are categorically unsuitable for girls with full ankles. The straps will accentuate this flaw and only reinforce it. But for the owners of slender legs, Greek sandals are perfect, they will emphasize their grace and sophistication.

Closed sandals are quite popular, most often textile or woven models. These are the perfect beach sandals and are also great for light everyday looks in urban settings.

Today, sandals that resemble espadrilles are popular - textile slippers with woven soles. These sandals can be of two types: closed toe and open heel or closed heel and closed toe. They can be knitted, with ties, Velcro, with pom-poms and other decorative elements.
