Whether you’re jetting off to Europe this summer or not, comfy sandals are essential for summer adventures. When you’re not on vacation, you’re taking the kiddos to the zoo, exploring your neighborhood or running errands, all of which require a chic, walkable pair of sandals.
But it’s hard to find comfortable sandals that strike the perfect balance between stylish and practical. Fashion-forward shoes can leave blisters, aching arches and zero desire to walk more than a block, while supportive sandals can seriously skimp on style. Luckily, we rounded up 15 European-looking sandals that seamlessly blend comfort and style so you never have to choose between the two.
We gathered some of our all-time favorite sandals — plus a few that carried Us around Europe during our last summer vacay. Let’s dive in!
