Flip-flops may be calling your name on a scorching-hot day, but there's more than one reason to avoid this Summer shoe — unless, of course, you're headed to the beach (or showering at the gym). For starters, they're bad for your health: exposing your feet to bacteria, causing blisters, and not providing enough support or cushioning are just a few big cons on a long list. They're also a no-no at the office and considered the opposite of elevated, leaving you searching for an alternative that's slightly chicer but just as easy.

Not to fret, though. We've found a handful of sandals you can quickly slip, zip, and strap on, all of which will feel as free as a flop but look a lot more stylish. Read on to see and shop a few pairs. Then, check out the Summer shoes that'll never go out of style.
