The 5 Shoe Trends That Will Dominate Summer and the Best Ways to Get All of Them

The weather this week has been anything but ideal for the season, and putting on my clunky rain boots every day has made me yearn for warm summer sun. Mother Nature may be stopping us from showing off our bright pedicures at the moment, but we can still dream of summer and everything that goes along with it–she can’t that away from us.

In the meantime, summer footwear is readily available at retailers, and we’ve noticed some definite trends among designers’ shoe offerings. Be ahead of the curve and check out the five footwear trends you’ll be seeing all summer long, below.

1. City Sandals

Low, chunky heels will continue to dominate this summer. They’re also great go-to shoes, thanks comfy heel heights and plenty of detailing options.
