We practically count down the days until we can consistently wear open-toed shoes, and this season, it's all about the strappy sandal. While summer shoe trends can ebb and flow, the strappy sandal is a constant. It can take different iterations, with some loving the look of a gladiator sandal that laces all the way up the leg, and others preferring the straps to be across the footbed. Regardless, there's no doubt that strappy sandals are here to stay and should be an integral part of your summer wardrobe.
These are the 16 strappy sandals we're loving this season. Some have platforms, some are heeled, and some are all kinds of extra, while others are more muted and neutral. We found shoes that are great for summer weddings, as well as some comfortable, affordable pairs. Plus, there are some versatile styles that should definitely be in your suitcase for all your summer travels. From flats to kitten heels and sky-high stilettos, these are the sandals we want to be wearing.
