To choose summer sandals 2021 you should take into account multiple factors, first of all, comfort and the kind of vacation you are going to have. You will agree with me that when summer comes, putting your feet on display is definitely one of the most pleasant feelings. It is a little less so if the shoes you have chosen are not suitable for the long walks or hikes you would like to take during your vacation.

Types of shoes and how they should fit

If you’re wondering how sandals should fit, the answer is simple: comfortable! Of course, I am not advising you to buy some orthopedic shoes for walking by the sea (there I would rather advise you to remove your shoes altogether. Sand is an incredible exfoliant for the feet!) There are, however, plenty of types of comfortable sandals and beautiful at the same time, and today you will find out how to choose them according to your needs.

Ballerinas

Ballet flats are among the most romantic footwear you can wear. Although they are usually suitable for women with a slender figure, to be worn under skirts and capri pants, if you plan to buy ballet flats for summer 2021 we advise you to look out for one key detail: the footbed!

Where it is not possible for you to purchase low-heeled ballet flats, we suggest you buy at least one pair that has a contoured footbed and not completely flat. Your summer walks will be pleasant, fashionable and your back will thank you!Among the proposal of Ballerinas that you can find at Light House, the Baggllerina’s low-heeled Charlize pontues are perfect for your beach or city looks:

Flip-flops

Flip-flops are perhaps among the most worn sandals in summer. We have all kinds: jewel flip-flops, flip-flops for home, for the beach, evening flip-flops.

But how to choose the right size in this case? For flip-flops, it is certainly very simple. They are open and versatile shoes, and unless they have special buckles, laces, and unplanned stitching, the size you usually wear should be fine.

Beware, rather, of flip-flops that fit particularly loose, especially if they have buckles and straps. They could prove very uncomfortable and a real nightmare for your walks, forcing you to adjust them constantly.

Heeled sandals

If you plan elegant outings and social events for your summer, in addition to days at the beach, a pair of high heels will be a must in your suitcase. Mind you, high heels are uncomfortable even for the most experienced of us, especially after wearing them for a long day (although many of us are great at pretending otherwise!) Choose a pair of “smart” heeled shoes, with a comfortable soles and straps that don’t suffocate the ankle, which, you know, tends to swell in summer (yes, even if you’re young and strong!)

My advice, however, is to always carry a pair of comfortable sandals in your suitcase and, when you can, in your bag as well. In short, don’t let foot pain ruin your vacation!

Nomad sandals from With My Sands are perfect for any occasion. The somewhat bohemian style makes them very suitable for afternoon strolls, but with the right outfit the intertwining of straps and bands will know how to complete your evening looks as well.

Low-heeled sandals

For walks at the seaside, in the mountains or in the city, whether it’s evening or daytime, I recommend you choose versatile solutions that are both beautiful and comfortable.

With My Sands’ Dolce Vita line, now 50 percent off at the online shop, is a bold and comfortable option perfect for pairing with dresses and jeans from spring through summer.

In short, you must have realized that choosing summer sandals 2021 takes very little:

• Pay attention to comfort, preferring shoes with a bit of a heel and comfortable sole.
• Choose footwear according to the vacation you will be taking: flip-flops and sandals are perfect for the beach. If you go to the mountains, a pair of sneakers is a must!
• Avoid high heels if you’re planning long walks or, if you just can’t help yourself, make sure they don’t choke the ankle and have a comfortable sole.

For the rest, I suggest you indulge in matching styles and colors by consulting the sandals online by Light House Locarno.
