If you're a shoe lover, this story is a must-read, regardless of your footwear budget. With the official start of summer just around the corner, it's the perfect time to talk about sandals—the most relevant type of shoes for the season. Living in the hot and humid South, I understand the importance of breathable footwear, which is why sandals are a top priority for me.
In this shoe roundup, I've handpicked some of the most stylish designer sandals of the season. But as lovely as they are, I know that shelling out close to $1000 for a pair of sandals may not be feasible for everyone. Don't worry, though—I've done the legwork and found affordable alternatives for each chic designer pair. Scroll through and find your perfect summer shoes without breaking the bank.
