I came home from Florida last month with a big old case of Spring Fever, and I’m so ready to kick winter to the curb and step into spring wearing all the fun sandals I styled while I was there.
Of course, now I’m rocking a snazzy black medical boot for the next few weeks, so it will be a little longer than I had hoped before I can start enjoying my spring shoes. But for those of you who do not share in my misfortune, I’ve put together my spring sandal edit for you today.
20+ Stylish Sandals To Kick-Start Spring
Without further ado, here are 20+ stylish sandals to kick-start spring! (It actually ended up being more like 30+ sandals… you know me, go big or go home!)
Slides
Sam Edelman Bambi Raffia Buckle Slide (8)
Slides are my favorite style of sandal. They’re so easy to, well, slide on and go. You can find slides in all heel heights, including flats; and they look good with everything from jeans and shorts to dresses and skirts.
This year, raffia is a trending fabric across all accessory categories, including footwear. I’m particularly fond of this one because it is distinctively summer and adds texture to my outfits. And of course, there are plenty of leather styles out there too. I rounded up a bunch of options below:
Strappy sandals are ideal for dressier looks, but some have a more casual vibe. Kitten heels are trending this season, and they look great with a more delicate upper. Silver and other metallics are popular right now, as well as the typical neutrals and pops of color. I rounded up some more options for you below:
Comfort Sandals
Vionic Merlot Sandal (7.5)
I always get requests for comfort sandals, so I ordered a few to try before I injured my ankle. Either it was fortuitous, or I jinxed myself… I’m not sure which, but at least I have these waiting in the wings for whenever I can start wearing regular shoes again.
STYLE TIP: When looking for comfort sandals that aren’t frumpy, you generally want thinner straps and/or less foot coverage. Of course, wider straps and more foot coverage provide more stability, so you have to find a happy medium that works for you and your brand of finicky feet. Another tip for fighting the frump factor with your footwear is to wear colors that are close to your skin tone.
The pair I’m wearing above is by Vionic, and they actually have arch support! Plus, the straps are super soft and comfortable. I’m also a big fan of Birkenstocks, especially the Madrid Slide. Sorel and Kork-Ease also do good comfort sandals. I rounded up those and more of my top picks below, and there are some narrow and wide widths in here too!

Great round up on sandals. What are your thoughts on the Tory Burch Miller sandals? Are they looking dated or still current? I noticed they are not in the round up:)
I meant the Miller sandals.
Yeah, mine are pretty much my pedicure sandals at this point, lol. But I would not hesitate to wear them with an outfit… I just have so many others that feel more fresh and current. I always pack them when traveling b/c they’re great for slipping on for the pool or to go to the lobby for coffee or whatever. And I can always wear them with an outfit if I need something understated and easy. They’re so flat and easy to pack. I guess my point is, I still wear them some, but I would not invest in a new pair at this point.
Thanks for including the vionic sandals. It’s nice to see stylish sandals that give support where needed!
Are platform sandals still of for spring? I bought a pair last year.
They definitely are. I’ve included some in here, I just didn’t make them a category.
Try these on for size (pun intended):
Jack Rogers – the Collins sandal has a cushion sole and comes in gold, cork, red, navy and some others. Consider the cork and gold to be neutrals.
Viscata – espadrilles in various heel heights and open and closed toe. Customer service is exceptional. Beige, black, navy, olive, and fuschia and garnet.
I love sandals….. all shoes.
Today is dark, cloudy and pouring down rain in NW Oregon. Suppose to start being sunny and warm by Friday and sunny and 63 where I live on Easter. Have fun. Enjoy your trip with your family.
Such a great post! Thank you for including some sandals that come in narrow and have arch support!
I’m loving the raffia shoe trend!!
So glad you featured OluKai sandels. This brand is my favorite for comfort. Never rubs and never have aches and pains. They have a lot of beautiful options!
Am losing my mind? I don’t see the roundup with hyperlinks (other than the 3 pairs featured in the pictures)? The only thing showing a variety of sandals that I see if the graphic, that isn’t linkable?
There are shopping widgets at the end of each section with a collection of sandals that fit the category. I can make the picture linkable tho. I should have done that.
