I Just Found Summer's Coolest Y2K Shoe Trend for Under $100

by Judith Jones

Of the many sandal styles trending this season, none excite me more than the return of Y2K wedges. Yep, the 2000s-era sandals are back and better than ever. I have a nostalgic soft spot for the comfy heel because I distinctly remember wearing this trend the first time it came around. They spark fond and carefree memories. At this point, I'm emotionally attached to wedges, and I can't wait to get my feet into this season's freshest styles.

I'm not talking about espadrilles today. Although, I'm a forever fan of the style. Instead, I'm focused on the sleek and modern iterations we're seeing fashion people enamored with this season, thanks to their dominant presence on S/S 23 runways. Below, I'm sharing 27 of-the-moment styles that feel fresh for summer 2023. The best part is I've kept all my picks under $100 because you don't have to spend a ton to get that trendy Y2K look.
