When it comes to sandals, there’s definitely no requirement to spend big. I’ve come across countless under-$100 pairs that I love and would personally buy or recommend to a friend. Of course, if you are in the market to splurge on a new summer shoe, there’s always an upside. Designer sandals aren’t just buzzy or on-trend—though, they often are those things. They’re also built to last, meaning if you choose a pair that’s timeless in design, it can stick with you for years and years, just as some of my own favorites have.
On that note, I recently perused the world of high-end sandals to round up the best of the best out there right now. From classics such as Loro Piana and Hermès to newer names like A.Emery and Amanu, consider the below your guide to the best styles and brands on the luxury market. Ready to see what made the cut? Simply keep scrolling to get started and to shop my picks.
