We admit it: we fall hard for shoes. When we spot a gorgeous pair of sandals, we're immediately intoxicated by the bright colors, smooth leather, delicate details — literally, everything about them. And can you blame us? Not only do a great pair of high heels look fabulous on their own, but the minute we slip them on, we feel sexy, confident, and strong.
So, inspired by our ongoing obsession, we went on a hunt to find Summer's most lust-worthy sandals. From fierce stilettos to eye-catching wedges, these shoes run the gamut of chic styles. And while you'll find many major designers on the list (Christian Louboutin, Gucci, Fendi . . . you get it), you can expect to find a few styles from under-the-radar brands you'll want to know about for later, too. Now, read on for some major shoe porn [1] that will leave your toes tingling with excitement — and your Pinterest boards primed with plenty of inspiration.
