This summer no footwear trend has prevailed as much as the comfortable shoe craze. All of a sudden, fashion people are swapping out their favourite sky-highs for tiny kitten heels, and their pointed-toe court shoes for trending mesh flats and, in my opinion—they've never looked chicer.
Swept in by the comfortable shoe revolution, the block heel sandals trend has become a go-to this summer. Ideal for days spent racking up a high step count, the block heel sandals trend guarantees enduring comfort in ways its high heel counterparts never could.
Available in a wide range of designs including barley-there strappy pairs and thickly caged styles, the block heel sandal trend has been growing this season—extending to all of the chicest sandal designs out there.
Wearing well with flowing dresses and voluminous skirts, the comfortable shoe trend also styles beautifully with straight leg jeans or wide-leg trousers—adding a dressed-up edge to your daily style in a wearable and comfortable way.
Up and down the high street and across our favourite designer brands, the block heel sandal trend is gaining momentum. From H&M's sleek heeled slides to & Other Stories pretty strappy style, read on to shop our edit of the best block heel sandals below.
