SUMMER SANDALS FOR EVERY OCCASION – THE 2021 REPORT

Easter has come and gone and that means only one thing ‘round these parts: socks are history — it’s time to plan on some True Fashionista finds from Naples’ best designer consignment store for all things sandals and summer.

Whether you’re taking a stroll on the beach, refamiliarizing yourself with outdoor life or inching back to the office, this summer, comfort is key. With additional numbers choosing to bike and walk longer distances to avoid crowds, its essential that your summer footwear feels as good as it looks. But with bars and restaurants now opening back up to the public, it's also important to have a solid collection of sandals that work for fancier occasions.

This season's offering of slides, strappy flats and block heels is tempting us to play with color, try the tie up trend and add some minimalist mules to our collection. Fancy a shoe for more adventurous summer activities? No sweat, we've got you covered. Here are some of our favorites, suitable for all your summer 2021 plans.

TRAVEL SANDALS

Dare we travel this summer? We’re going to take a wild guess on your answer and it’s a strong YES PLEASE! Here are some travel sandals to take the worry of blisters out of your sightseeing day.  TravelFashionGirl.com shares that when it comes to comfortable sandal brands you should keep in mind your comfort needs, planned travel activities, your foot shape, and personal style. True Fashionistas, your consignment store in Naples, is sure to carry a continuously updated selection of fine travel sandal footwear.

Brands known for sturdiness and comfort rise to the top once again for your True Fashionista travel needs. Danish company ECCO offers the Flowt Strap sandals complete with soft leather uppers and comfy microfiber foot bed for distance walking. They come in neutral colors with a light, flexible sole perfect for extended exploration of new, exciting places.

NAOT’s Sabrina flat sandals are hand-crafted with an anatomic cork footbed designed like a footprint to cradle your feet. They come in several colors for your summer outfit needs. Here’s another interesting NAOT tidbit: The brand actually started in an Israeli kibbutz back in 1942. One could say they’ve probably perfected comfort!

DRESSY CASUAL SANDALS

JIC parties are actually happening, like those outside on a patio or pool deck, we’ve got you covered, with ideas like Flexx Band Together Sandals. Dance, kick up your heels and mingle at more or less a distance with these Italian imports featuring a classy wide ankle strap and tastefully placed crisscross toe straps.

Should you need to dress up and walk a bunch, it’s back to ECCO for the Flash T-Strap with lightly cushioned sole. The thin-looking bottom dresses the sandal up a bit while the strap construction offers day-long comfort.

BEACH OR POOLSIDE SANDALS

Teva is one of the most popular brands for comfortable sport sandals designed for outdoors. Their Women’s Mahonia Slider Sandals and Olowahu flip flops have both maintained popularity for a good few years now. Wearers insist that the Olowahu far surpasses the traditional flip flop for its comfort and quality. These two provide perfect casual hang footwear choices plus the quick on/off we appreciate around water opportunities.

Grab your Sanuk Yoga Beach Sandals for, you know, one or the other and most importantly, some beach action. They’ve been seen all over California’s renowned Venice and Santa Monica beaches and come in several colors.

Don’t knock ‘em, Crocs are still here and rocketing back onto the fashion radar in 2021. Plus, you can’t beat a comfy shoe that you can wash in the dishwasher! Crocs also make slides in their signature rubber style.
