Over the years, I've come to realize that uncomfortable shoes are just not worth it, no matter how special they look on the display in the store. Stomping around in flimsy kitten heels all day won't get you very far, and you'll likely shun these shoes after one or two wears. Protecting your feet comes first, which is why you should be shopping for Summer sandals that provide support.

Not to worry, we've done the legwork for you and narrowed down the list of sensible, sturdy footwear to the most stylish pairs. Ahead, you'll find the 11 most trend-focused sandals on the market that are easy to walk in. Find the right ones for you, and feel confident knowing that these will score you far more head turns than blisters.
