Popsugar Fashion Summer Fashion Popular Sandals 2019 12 Fashion Editors Weigh In: “These Are the Sandals I Refuse to Take Off” 31 July 2019 by Sarah Wasilak View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sarah Wasilak (@slwasz) on Jun 29, 2019 at 5:53am PDT As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too.

My sandals are yellow, my bag is yellow, and this chair is yellow, so you have to take a photo of me," I announced to my boyfriend 30 seconds before this pic was snapped. No, we didn't have time for multiple poses because we had a dinner reservation to make it to, but I did want to show off my new footwear. Shoes then garlic bread. With the resurgence of the '90s minimalist heel and the hype about sporty Velcro slides all taking hold in 2019, fashion editors and stylists had a lot of designs to pick from this year. While I challenged myself to find a colourful, strappy pair that was actually comfortable, Aemilia from The Zoe Report finally splurged on the sporty, rubber Prada flatforms she'd been eyeing, and Alyssa Coscarelli is walking around in delicious hunter green sandals under $100 that everyone presumes to be vintage. I checked in with some of the most stylish writers and influencers around — including my POPSUGAR crew, of course — to find out which sandals, whether heels or flats, they've become devoted to this past season. You'd be smart to invest in any of these picks if you like to shop for items that have been tried and tested. I know I do.

But how could I walk the walk if I wasn't wearing the shoes? Heels have always been tricky for me (my wide foot requires something sturdy with support!), so I went on the hunt for a trusty silhouette with a block heel. You wouldn't believe how happy my feet are in these Raye shoes."

They have a slight platform on them, which gives me a bit of height. The snakeskin print instantly elevates my look and they're even perfect for a day at the pool."

I love these Staud sandals so much because they look great with just about everything in my closet. Whether I'm wearing jeans, dresses, or skirts, they add a little something extra. Plus, they're the perfect heel height for walking around the city, while still maintaining comfort."

They're super comfy, durable, and fit for every occasion, whether that's exploring a new city, spending the day at the beach, or hanging around at a backyard BBQ. Plus, they go with everything in my wardrobe."

They have so many on-trend sandals that go with everything and are affordable, too. What's not to love?"

Because they're flat, they're easy to wear all day long, no matter how much I'm running around, but I love that the platform adds a bit of height. Plus, this pretty shade of pastel yellow goes with just about everything."

They're comfortable and sporty, but the fact that they're a bit more luxe than my Birks has convinced me that they count as sophisticated footwear — though my mom may not entirely agree."

The glossy patent-leather slide's minimal shape and little lift makes them easy to dress up and down. Plus, they provide for the perfect pop of colour!

They feel elevated enough to wear with evening slip dresses but relaxed enough to slip on with a T-shirt and jeans for the weekend. I probably wear them way too much but they literally go with everything so I'm just going with it!"
