MY FAVORITE BUCKLE SANDALS
It’s no surprise that buckle sandals have completely taken over the fashion world this summer. As Birkenstocks have made their way back into culture, buckle sandals have been popping up everywhere you turn. From A-list celebrities to your favorite Instagram influencer, everyone is wearing them – and you’d better believe we’re jumping on the trend too.
There are so many reasons that I have been loving buckle sandals this season. Let’s be honest – when it comes to summer style, we all are looking for easy pieces. When the heat of summer is beating down on you, you don’t want to overthink what you’re going to wear – you want pieces that you can throw on and go. Buckle sandals are the kind of shoe that you can just slip into as you run out the door without a second thought, which is a must for summer in my book.
After all, summer is the season of spontaneity and fun – and your fashion choices should be a part of that lifestyle.
Additionally, I love buckle sandals for their versatility. They’re a shoe that can be dressed up or dressed down, so if you travel as much as I do, they’re a great choice to bring when you are trying to pack light. You can pair buckle sandals with your favorite ratty t-shirt and cut-offs, but you can also pair them with a cute sundress for a dinner out with friends. You can wear them to the beach, or you can wear them on a date.
As a mom, it makes my life so much easier when I have pieces that I can wear without a second thought as to whether or not they’ll work. That’s why buckle sandals are some of my favorite women’s shoes this season – and why I’m so excited to share some of my favorite pairs currently for sale with you today.
MY FAVORITE STYLES OF BUCKLE SANDALS
There are so many buckle sandals women love on the market right now that it can be hard to decide which style you want to go for. Do you want a beachy look or one that is more upscale? What materials do you want your shoes to be made from? What color palette are you going for?
Some of my favorite pairs of buckle sandals are ones with black leather straps. I love that the black is easy to mix and match with any outfit, and that black can easily be styled in either a casual or a more dressed up manner. Versatility is key, and black buckle sandals are great in that they can work for a variety of different looks.
That being said, I’m also a sucker for a good pair of neutral buckle sandals. I really love that neutral sandals have a more beachy look, and that they really scream summer. You can find some great textured straps, and oftentimes the soles of neutral shoes are made of cork. When I shop for sandals, I always look at the neutral choices for the summertime. I love how well they pair with a cute sundress for that perfect summery look.
If you want to go super casual, there are also buckle strap sandals that are made specifically for outdoor use in the summertime, from mornings spent gardening to long afternoons at the pool. These sandals usually come in really fun colors like bright pinks and bright blues, and I love the bright, summery vibe that they bring to an outfit.
ARE THEY COMFORTABLE?
When it comes to shoes, comfort is always an important factor, especially in the summertime. You’re already dealing with the heat and humidity; the last thing that you need on top of that is blisters. So where do these sandals fall on the spectrum? Are they comfortable or are you better off sticking to your sneakers?
Just like with any other pair of shoes, every pair of buckle sandals is different. Some are actually comfortable enough to wear all day at a theme park or for a hike, while others should probably just stick to shorter outings around town. That being said – overall, these sandals are extremely comfortable, making them the perfect summer shoe for those of us who live our lives on the go.
At the end of the day, I always suggest trying on a couple of pairs to see which sandals work best for your feet. Everyone needs something different, so try on your sandals to see if they will work for your needs. I can guarantee that there’s a pair out there that you are going to love.
