Ask Belle: Casual Summer Sandals
Mar 23, 2015
I’d love to see a roundup of casual summer sandals. I’m replacing some worn out gladiators and need something I can wear with shorts and casual dresses on the weekends.

The winter out West may not have been as cold or as snowy as conditions back east, but it was dark and gloomy. At one point, I didn’t see the sun for almost three weeks. So I’m not just looking forward to summer dresses and sandals, I’m practically frenetic with anticipation.
Here are some casual sandals in varying price points. Because every day is one day closer to sunshine and pedicures.
Steve Madden Areena Sandal ($59, also in black and white)
Yosi Samra Campbelle Flat Sandals ($130)
Nine West Zirysa Flat ($69, also in grey)
Maiden Lane Amy Flat ($79, in six colors)
Marc Fisher Fringe Sandal ($135)
Joie Diani Banded Sandal ($195)
I found a flat cognac sandal with some stones on the front strap to be super versatile last summer.

I just ordered those Joie ones the other day using their F&F code– I think it’s still on. I ordered the black and snakeskin print one. I’m hoping they work out!
These all look lovely but stiff as boards. Any suggestions for stylish sandals with arch support and somewhat flexible/padded soles? I do so much more walking in the summer, mostly in sandals, I need cute ones that won’t make my feet and back ache after a block or two.
Seconded, I’d love to see a roundup of this!
A third on the arch support. My right knee can’t survive without some arch support for my flat feet. I’d love to see a roundup of stylish but supportive sandals.
Must buy that black Marc Fisher sandal.
