14 Flat Sandals Our Editors Are Buying From Nordstrom for Summer
The clock has finally struck spring, and my online shopping carts are fuller than ever. While I'm skeptical about storing my winter sweaters for the season just yet, I could not be happier to banish my chunky snow boots to the back of my closet in favor of lighter footwear that pairs perfectly with a fresh pedicure.
My Nordstrom haul is overflowing with at least a dozen pairs of shoes that I'm eyeing for spring and summer. Right now, I'm torn between trendy styles and tried-and-true favorites, so I made sure I included shoes for both categories. Our editors in Los Angeles, for instance, are already seeing lots of snake-print sandals around town, and Nordstrom has a robust selection of this very 2026 trend.
For those who prefer the classics, big-buckle styles like Birkenstock Arizona sandals are reliable favorites. Minimalist strappy sandals, on the other hand, remain the unanimous choice for achieving a CBK aesthetic, pairing well with everything from well-worn denim to an evening slip dress.
