White flat sandals are the quintessential summer sandals for when you want more support than slides, more comfort than heels but still to be a little smarter than sneakers or flip flops. They’re that everyday flat that works for so many different occasions and are especially good for summer vacations. As much as I love my heels, flat sandals tend to be my go to when I know I’ll be walking a lot e.g. on holidays and city breaks in the Summer. They’re as much a beach essential as an everyday essential pair of shoes. The beauty of this trend is that you can find something cute for under $30 or splurge on a designer brand. It’s all about finding a style that’s comfortable, stylish and more chic that you basic flip-flops.

Whether you’re looking for a thong style sandal, ankle strap sandals, gladiator sandals, a more supportive sturdy pair for walking or something more delicate these are the best styles around this year. I scoured all of the stores and styles to find the best pairs to slip on this Summer from designer to more affordable price points.
For gladiator style designer flats, Valentino Garavani’s rockstud caged sandals are hard to beat. They’re easy to dress up with a cute summer dress or down with denim shorts. For comfort Fisherman sandals may not be as elegant but they are made for living in and walking.
