Best Fisherman Sandals

Dream Pairs Fisherman Gladiator Woven Flat Sandals [7] ($22, originally $25)

Best Designer Dupe

Rihero Dressy Flats [8] ($29, originally $34)

Best Cork Footbed Sandals

Cushionaire Women's Lane Cork Footbed Sandal With +Comfort [11] ($30, originally $50)

It's no secret that these cork footbed sandals look similar to another more expensive pair that the world knows and loves. But given the fact that these take the top spot among all of Amazon's shoes, they're a solid alternative.

Best Braided Sandals

Athlefit Braided Heeled Sandals [13] ($34, originally $40)

The chunky braided straps and croc-embossed heels on these shoes offer loads of texture, which manages to help them stand out, even when paired with a neutral outfit. They come in five other colors ranging from black to beige.

Best Rope Sandals

Rope Flip Flop Sandals [14] ($45)

Best Slingback

Chinese Laundry Women's Mango Pump [19] ($70)

What's not to love about these pumps? They have no shortage of fabulous details, from their pretty pink floral print and delicate lace detail to their sturdy block heel and slingback silhouette. FYI: They're sold out on the brand's website, but you can still get them on Amazon (for now, anyway).

They come in a rainbow of colors, so you can choose which best suits your style.

Best Lace-Up Sandals

Tkees Women's Jo Lace Up Sandals [23] ($92)

These lace-up sandals offer a high quality design and versatility. They have a toe loop and straps that stylishly wrap around your foot and ankle, with just the right amount of cushioning.
