If there's one thing we're fast to pick up on, it's a new shoe trend [1]. If the silhouette in question is eye-catching, and even better, it's comfortable enough to walk in, you don't have to tell us twice to run out and try it.
Our latest obsession? Lace-up, block-heel sandals that play up the oomph factor of any casual look while still letting our toes breathe. Lucky for us, our favorite fashion bloggers have shown off flawless ways to wear the strappy style, which is offered in plenty of varieties, depending on where you shop.
But of course, being the Zara-freak fashion editors [2] that we are, we've already picked a favorite design from the much-loved retailer. These suede stunners ring in under $100 [3], and they'd work to complete any of the street style outfits here.
Read on to fall in love with the new lace-ups and shop a handful of alternative pairs that'll fit just as seamlessly into your wardrobe.
