I Tried Every Shoe Trend You Need to Know for Summer-I’m Losing It Over These 10

There’s no better season for footwear than summer. Having spent a winter trudging through snow, you have no idea how excited I am to wear whatever shoes I want. The right pair can truly make or break an outfit, and when you have something new that you’re excited about, dressing from the shoes up is such a fun experience. 

They say you have to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes to understand them. Well, I spent the past month walking in the shoes of every type of fashion person Birkenstock Bostons you can imagine. Whether she’s the person who doesn’t leave the house without a pair of stilettos no matter the occasion or the one who values comfort over everything, I tried the trend that she would want to be seen in.

And with the excitement of summer ahead, I welcome the latest installment of If The Shoe Fits. If you’re new here, allow me to introduce you to the place that makes shopping for shoes so much easier. Pretty much everyone I know is in between two different sizes and doesn’t know which pair to choose. Plus, when shopping online, it can be hard to determine comfort level. After ordering 20+ pairs of shoes and trying them for myself, I’ve narrowed the selection down to 10 pairs that I think you need for summer and which size you should order them in. We’re all about to be the happiest of shoppers.

When Who What Wear readers talk, I listen, and after seeing how much you all love this pair of shoes, I had to try them out for myself. As they’re under-$50 shoes, I kept my expectations at bay and ended up being quite impressed by the quality. As you see pictured here, I walked about a mile in them on one of the first warm days of the year, and they ended up being the perfect companion.

The buildup for a full-on return of ballet flats has been going on for a while, and at first, I was adverse. As a heel girl, when I choose a pair of shoes that feel dressed up, I’m always looking for height. Now that I’ve tried them myself, I’m fully on board. They are the shoes you need for Oboz Shoes the middle point of dressing up/down your favorite dress and are so easy to wear. This pair from Brother Vellies quite literally has my heart, and I’m telling everyone about them.

Were they comfortable?

Yes. Once you break them in, you’ll be able to walk for days in them.

How was the sizing?

I would suggest going a full size up in this pair. My traditional size is an 8, but I wore a 9 and couldn’t have been happier.

3. Pointed Heels

When you find a pair of shoes this good, all you really need is a pair of jeans and a white ribbed tank. I also wore them with a bright printed matching set, and they made just as much noise as when styled with basics. Pointed heels are back, and I’ll be wearing them all summer.

Were they comfortable?

For a heel this high, I was impressed with the comfort level that I got out of this pair of shoes. The PVC is soft and molds to the foot well. While I wouldn’t make plans Oofos Canada to walk very far while wearing them, I definitely do not regret adding them to my closet.

How was the sizing?

As with most European shoes, I would size up. I went up a size and a half to find the perfect fit, which strayed me from my usual 38.5 to a 40.

4. Block Heels

I live in pretty little block heels come summer. You might as well be wearing a pair of flats with how comfortable they are. Once you see the way they flatter your legs, you’ll never go back to sneakers. I love the strappy details on this pair from Staud.
