The leather is nice and soft. I have very sensitive skin on my feet, and I struggle to find leather shoes that don't hurt my feet. These are so comfortable that I haven't had any problems with them. I wanted a stylish loafer and first considered the Gucci ones, but couldn't bring myself to pay that much, so I got these instead. I also love the gold hardware on the front. It comes up higher on the foot, which I also like. I'm definitely considering getting these in another color because I love them so much.

Promising review: "Wore the all over DC in the slushy snow. Firm grip on the ground. I'm from southern California and not familiar with being in cold, snowy conditions. These worked for me.

Promising review: "These are the more elegant version of tennis shoes; you could literally walk all over Europe in them. The top looks and feels like top-grain leather, soft and supple, and the color is superb. The shoestrings are not good-looking, so I changed them to silver sparkle. The sole is white tennis shoe rubber, but the top is superbly designed, you can dress them up or down. Whoever designed these for Cole Haan (kudos) should do an entire collection of metallic shoes, it's the new rave!!" —KennedyKennedyPrice: $190 (available in sizes 5–11)
A platform rainbow sandal so you can have a serotonin boost and a height boost, too. These are the perfect in-betweeners that can easily charade as casual or a touch more formal if you need them to do double duty.

Trending Summer Sandals Are Up to 70% Off at Amazon—Shop Our 59 Picks

School's out, temperatures are rising, and airports are busier than ever. Summer has officially arrived. If you've been putting off a warm weather closet refresh, you've already fallen behind. Luckily, Amazon is a one-stop shop for any last-minute wardrobe swaps and upgrades you still need to quickly make—and as it turns out, the retailer just cut prices on this summer's trendiest, most comfortable sandals. Curious to know which styles caught our eyes? Ahead, we dive into six of the biggest, most exciting summer sandal trends we've spotted this season. From deceptively-comfortable orthopedic flip-flops to wear-everywhere fisherman sandals, these summer shoe trends have earned a spot in our suitcases. Our 59 picks come from Crocs, Coach, Reef, Vionic, and more up to 70 percent off at Amazon now. While there are plenty of stellar sandal discounts on this list, a select handful of deals really made our jaws drop. The below trending sandals have the best, most impressive discounts out—which means they likely won't be in stock much longer. Keep scrolling to see which deals were a step above the rest, including chunky Ugg Goldenstar Hi-Slide Sandals, now over $50 off, and these Sam Edelman Dawn Ankle Buckle Sandals are 70 percent off. Then, keep scrolling to explore 53 more of our favorite trending summer sandals on sale at Amazon, starting at $19. This first trend can take your footwear rotation to new heights—sans pain and the awkwardness of high heels. Flatform sandals—that is, platform sandals that have flat bottoms—are a bold, fun way to spice up a twirly sundress or your favorite denim cutoffs, and Amazon is flush with options for every preference. The retro-inspired crochet Hey Dude Delray Buckle Sandals, $44, would look gorgeous with a pair of flare jeans, and these chunky Rihero Buckle Flatform Sandal, $25 off, are a warm weather solution for those who dress on the edgier side. Ahoy! The next trending summer sandal style on our list is nautical by nature, but you don't have to own a boat to jump on this bandwagon. Fisherman sandals are making waves this season. The versatile silhouette suits any aesthetic and can easily be dressed up or down, making them a no-fuss travel sandal. Comfy versions from some of our favorite footwear brands—including Sorel, Dr. Scholl's, and Sam Edelman—are seriously discounted at Amazon this month. Check out some of our favorite finds below, from $29. Dr. Scholl's Women's Rate Up Day Fisherman Sandal, $44 (originally $100) Dr. Martens Women's Blaire Fisherman Platform Sandal, $65 (originally $110) Lucky Brand Women's Zilma Heeled Fisherman Sandal, $48 (originally $89) Rockport Men's Darwyn Fishermen Sandal, $55 (originally $95) Sorel Women's Ona Streetworks Fisherman Mid Sandal, $75 (originally $130) Blowfish Malibu Women's Madrid Fisherman Sandal, $29 (originally $60) Clarks Men's Walkford Fish Flat Sandal, $55 (originally $90) Easy Spirit Women's Gretty Faux Leather Fisherman Sandal, $50 (originally $89) Dr. Scholl's Women's Hello Seaside Fisherman Sandal, $40 (originally $80) Sam Edelman Women's Dawn Ankle Buckle Sandal, $42 (originally $140) Dockers Men's Searose Fisherman Sandal, $34 (originally $70) Step aside, flip-flops: Strappy sandals are our new beach go-tos. Surf and sand can make it easy to slip out of thong-style sandals, but strappy sandals do a better job at keeping your feet in place. You may have seen the Crocs Miami Toe Loop Strappy Sandals pop up on your social media feeds; while not on sale, these now-viral strappy sandals are comfy, simple, and go with just about everything. Amazon has hundreds of other budget-friendly options worth checking out, though, including Plaka Lagoon Strappy Rope Sandals, now $28, and Teva Olowahu Strappy Sandals, now $26. Wedge-style sandals are hardly a new summer shoe trend, but this year, we've been spotting more and more wedges of the espadrille-specific variety. Espadrille wedges, which typically have canvas uppers and thick midsoles covered with jute rope, add a beachy touch to travel dresses and matching sets, making them one of our favorite dressy sandal trends this summer. Score designer Coach Espadrille Wedge Platform Sandals while they're $70 off, or scoop up LifeStride Kimmie Wedge Espadrille Sandals while they're as low as $35—a generous 56 percent off the original price. Coach Women's Espadrille Wedge Platform Sandal, $105 (originally $175) Lifestride Women's Katrina 2 Espadrille Wedge, $50 (originally $80) Soda Topic Ankle-Strap Espadrille Wedge Sandal, $30 (originally $40) Naturalizer Women's Wren Espadrille Wedge Sandal, $70 (originally $90) White Mountain Women's Mamba Espadrille Wedge Sandal, $37 (originally $79) Lucky Brand Women's Mindra Espadrille Wedge Sandal, $63 (originally $79) Franco Sarto Women's Clemens Espadrille Wedge Sandal, $78 (originally $115) Dream Pairs Women's Ankle-Strap Espadrille Wedge, $23 (originally $40) LifeStride Women's Kimmie Wedge Espadrille Sandal, $35 (originally $80) The Drop Women's Zuki Wedge Espadrille Sandal, $45 (originally $65) Another sandal trend that's been gracing our social media feeds is the laser-cut leather flat sandal. Two of the most iconic iterations include the Hermès Oran sandal, $840, and the Tory Burch Miller sandal, $198—but Amazon has hundreds of designer-inspired styles for a fraction of the price. These Artrotter Beach Sandals, for example, capture the same simple elegance of the aforementioned Oran sandal, but are just $18. We think these Tommy Hilfiger Litzy Flat Sandals, 40 percent off, are just as chic as the Tory Burch version. Artrotter Women's Beach Sandal, $18 (originally $46) Steve Madden Women's Hadyn Sandal, $49 (originally $60) Athlefit Women's Flat Sandal, $24 (originally $40) Rockport Men's Darwyn Xband Slide Sandal, $40 (originally $80) Coutgo Women's Dressy Slide Sandal, $39 (originally $46) Tommy Hilfiger Women's Litzy Flat Sandal, $39 (originally $65) Putu Women's Flat Sandal, $20 (originally $30) Calvin Klein Men's Lusako Sandal, $43 (originally $65) The Drop Women's Monika Flat H-Band Slide Sandal, $20 (originally $40) Dream Pairs Women's Dressy Flat Slide, $21 (originally $30) Cole Haan Women's Flynn Logo Slide Sandal, $70 (originally $90) Who says comfortable sandals can't also be chic? Trends come and go, but supportive footwear never goes out of style; and this summer, we're spotting fashion-forward orthopedic sandals that look as good as they'll feel. The flexible, shock-absorbing Vionic Women's Mar Sandals, previously $135, are a steal at $68. And you'd never guess these handsome men's criss-cross slides from FitFlop, 34 percent off, are orthopedic shoes—but they've received the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance. That's just the beginning, though. Keep scrolling for more stylish orthopedic sandals, starting at $26. Love a great deal?

A pair of New Balance Classics 327 sneakers that will keep you looking sporty and cute as you log 20,000 daily steps on your long-awaited European vacation. 2. A pair of pull-on Dr. Martens Chelsea boots that truly are made for walking. They'll add some edgy style, and are quick and easy to pull off and put back on when you go through TSA. Zappos Promising review:"Love these, my first pair of Docs! I hope they hold up for a long time. Do not be afraid of how tall these shoes are, they are just right in person! Didn't take much time for them to break in. The leather is good, and on one shoe, I can see a really nice grain texture. (They aren't the type of shoe that looks like plastic.) I am considering putting an insole in them just to make them that much comfier." — Anonymous 3. A pair of Birkenstock Arizonas that never disappoint in terms of comfort or style. They've been a staple sandal for decades now, so why fix something that's not broken? Zappos Promising review:"I was a little hesitant to buy these because it has a man-made upper rather than a leather one. I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the material. I would definitely order them again. In fact, it's hard to tell they are not leather unless I place them side by side with my leather Birkenstocks. The footbed and the sole are the same as regular Birkenstocks. As usual, Zappos sent them to me with lightning speed." — Anonymous 4. An adorable pair of mesh Mary Janes adorned with rhinestones that will perfectly complement your shiny personality. And they're nice and breathable, too, in case you plan on traveling to an especially hot climate. Zappos Promising review:"These shoes are super cute and unique. I enjoy the sparkle and being mesh, they seem really summery. I wear an 8 in sandals and an 8.5 in athletic shoes in most brands. I always take a 7 in a Sam Edelman shoe." — Diane 5. A pair of strappy sandals with a cushioned footbed and a slight wedge heel that you can wear all day while exploring and then to dinner in the evening without having to change. Promising review:"Bought these for my vacation in Portugal and love them. Wanted something a bit dressier for evenings, but still super easy to walk in for miles! These were great, comfortable right out of the box." — Anonymous 6. A pair of Crocs because if you need something lightweight and easy, you can't go wrong with these classic clogs. Go ahead and wear them several days in a row to the beach and on grimy city streets — it really doesn't matter where you wear them because you can just rinse them off and they're good to go! Zappos Promising review:"I wore Birkenstock sandals full time for 40 years. Then my right heel developed a bad case of plantar fasciitis, and I found that ONLY wearing Crocs helped! Now my heel doesn't hurt anymore, and the added bonus is that the Crocs are VERY easy to keep clean!" — Linda G 7. A pair of Vionic loafers that will bring some 24-karat magic whenever you wear them (there are also more neutral colors available in case gold's not your thing). They have arch support, too, so you can rock them all day long. Zappos Promising review:"Very soft leather, wore them all over Spain while on vacation. Good with a light sock; very comfortable. No trouble with my plantar fasciitis." — Diane 8. A pair of Converse high-top sneakers because Chucks are timeless for a reason (aside from the fact that they've been around for over a century). They look good on everyone and go with almost everything. Zappos 9. A pair of Vans slip-ons that are cool even if you never went through a skater era. They're so simple to slide your feet into that you'll have a hard time wearing any other shoes. Zappos 10. A pair of Coach platform loafers for anyone who wants to walk around in flats that aren't sneakers. The leather upper lets you dress them up, too, which is especially ideal for work trips. Zappos Promising review:"I love these shoes!!! They are so cute and comfortable. It fits true to size, and I can't wait for the brown or black to go on sale because I will buy them too. They are a MUST-have!" — Cheryl 11. A pair of Havaianas flip-flops that are an easy addition to any carry-on, tote, or suitcase. They're compact, comfy, and give you an easy change of shoes if your feet need a break from closed-toe shoes and socks. Zappos Promising review:"I was very pleased with these flip-flops. They are durable and do not fade (even the black ones). The straps stay tight, and the foam maintains its shape. I would highly recommend these shoes as your summer footwear." — Anonymous 12. A snazzy pair of Toms platform sandals to give you a lift as you go about your day, exploring a new city. The adjustable ankle strap will make sure they stay securely on your feet for all your activities. Zappos 13. A pair of leather huaraches that are as ready for your next getaway as you are. Their breathable woven upper molds to your foot with each wear, and they have a cushioned sole to keep you comfy, whether you're walking down a cobblestone street or strolling along the beach. Promising review:"Finally, a really comfortable huarache-style shoe! The heels don't slip, moderate arch support and cushioning, and the fit is good overall. The sole provides some cushioning and doesn't slip on pavement like the traditional leather soles tend to do." — Susie 14. A pair of wedge espadrilles that will give you support, height, and some Mediterranean chicness for all your travels, near and far. These plus a red floral sundress? *Chef's kiss!* Zappos Promising review:"So comfortable! Tie the ribbons fairly tight, and the sandal will feel like an extension of the foot. Love these!" — Anonymous 15. A pair of Sam Edelman mules that are not only super easy to slide in and out of (TSA'll be a breeze!) but *look* super sophisticated as well. Are they a sandal? A loafer? A mule? Whatever they are, they'll instantly elevate your look without you even having to try. Zappos Promising review:"These are really cute and feel broken in the second you slip them on. The leather is super soft and they are really comfortable. As many other reviewers have noted, these run a half size large. They fit perfectly." — Azelsm 16. A pair of pointed-toe flats that look like standard flats from the front but have metallic accents on the heel that will catch everyone's eye at the outdoor cafe when you saunter by. Zappos Promising review:"As soon as I tried these on, I went back online to see if they came in other colors. I've never worn ballet flats that ACTUALLY HAVE ARCH SUPPORT!! Love it." — Anonymous 17. A pair of retro Reeboks to give you that cool *I shop vintage* look. You can wear them with practically any outfit and look effortlessly trendy as you gallivant across the city. 18. A pair of flatform Tevas that'll accompany you on all your outdoor adventures and music festivals this season. They're cute with shorts, leggings, jeans, dresses — you name it. Zappos 19. A Sam Edelman slide sandal that is a must for any warm-weather uniform. In fact, you'll probably want to pick up a backup as you'll be wearing these daily. Zappos Promising review:"I have very difficult feet (super high arches and slightly wide feet, but not wide enough for extra-wide shoes). I live in a warm climate, so I can wear these almost year-round. They are very comfortable and I can wear them for short strolls or shopping. They are a stylish and budget-friendly version of similar shoes that YSL and Hermes make. Also great for travel as they take up virtually no room in a suitcase or even a tote bag." — SuzieG 20. A simple pair of Sam Edelman ballet flats that are an essential travel shoe because they're easy on the feet, can be paired with every outfit, and take up practically no room in your luggage (or purse). Zappos Promising review:"You know someone loves a shoe when they buy a second pair of I just ordered my second pair. I got a pair this spring, just before I had some minor foot surgery. It turned out to be one of two pairs of shoes I could wear without pain because it doesn't have any pressure points. I literally wore these for three weeks straight. I love this shoe because I can wear it with jeans or skirts, and it's easy to wear on a plane. They pack great!" — Ann 21. A pair of Hoka Clifton 10 running shoes so comfy and cushy, they might just motivate you to plan a hiking trip just so you can get outside and get moving. These are like, cooler dad shoes, and every step will be nice and bouncy. Zappos Promising review:"Ordered these as a backup to another pair of Hokas that I ordered, but fell in love with the look and especially the comfort!! So I kept BOTH!! Love 'em!" — RB 22. A pair of Frye leather slip-ons for those days when you want something low-effort but still stylish. These are low profile and have a naturally worn-in look that makes them a go-to choice. Zappos Promising review:"I really love this shoe. Nicer than wearing a regular 'tennis shoe' while still being casual and comfortable. Worn right out of the box without any issues. I am usually a size 8 in most shoes, and this fit perfectly in an 8." — Shelley 23. A Superga canvas sneaker because a good pair of white tennis shoes gives you so many outfit options — dresses, skirts, shorts, and jeans will work so well with them! If you're an ultra-light packer and only bring one pair of shoes on trips, consider these your one pair. Zappos Promising review:"I love these sneakers! I was looking for a replacement for my Simple sneakers because they no longer make them, and these are just the ticket. They are well-made, comfortable, and so cute. They have a good full arch support. If your foot is widest at the toes, though, I would recommend going up a half size." — Heidi K 24. A pair of On Cloudmonsters that, true to their name, really make you feel like you're walking on clouds. They're perfect for spending long days exploring new places on foot. Zappos Promising review:"Shoes are really comfortable; they actually feel like walking on a cloud, so expect some bouncing. They are cool but very sporty looking." — Kari 25. A pair of cork sandals with arch support and ankle straps so they'll stay put even if you wander off into an old cobblestone alley somewhere when you're trying to find your hotel. Zappos Promising review:"These sandals were perfect for my two-week trip to Spain. They were comfortable from the first time I wore them, and provided good support and comfort through days of walking on uneven streets. The footbed is super supportive and just the right amount of cushion. The heel is high enough to give a little height, and they are good-looking with everything. Love these!" — JV Price: $140 (available in sizes 5–12 and seven colors) 26. A pair of water-friendly Keen sandals you can wear in a pool, lake, river, or ocean without worrying about losing a shoe to Mother Nature. They also mold to your foot, giving you the ultimate fit. Zappos Promising review:"I bought these for a 25-day trip to Thailand and wore them almost every day. They were fantastic! And my feet never hurt, despite all the walking (so much!), hiking (which included walking through small streams), and elephant riding. And they are very lightweight." — Laurajeanz Price: $119.95 (available in sizes 5–12 and 10 colors) 27. A pair of Adidas Adilette Aqua slides that will bring you back to your carefree soccer team practice days when you didn't have to pay bills and be an adult (which is why you planned a trip in the first place). These sandals are still just as comfy as you remember, btw. Zappos Promising review:"I took others' advice and sized down. Normally, I wear a women's 9.5–10, so I ordered the M8/W9, and the fit is perfect. Flip-flops rub a blister between my toes, so slides are a good alternative. These look sharp, and the price is right." — CMM Price: $25+ (originally $27.95, available in sizes 5–14 and in three colors) The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.
