Shoes have always been one of my favorite things that I can’t get enough of. I was that girl throughout high school that wore heels 99% of the time. To me, shoes can make or break an outfit no matter what the occasion is.

I’ve recently done an overhaul on my shoe collection and have crafted the ultimate affordable summer sandal & shoe capsule to get you through any and all events, outings, adventures and beyond this summer. Happy shoe shopping!

SLIDES

Dolce Vita Paci Sandals - I love the angled strap and the one textured strap, they add such a fun detail to a simple sandal. I got these last summer so their newest version has some slight updates, a little bit higher of a “wedge” to the sandal. Super comfortable and can easily be dressed down or dressed up a bit. I also found a look-alike pair from Target for under $25.

A New Day Livia Striped Knotted Bow Slide Sandals - The moment I saw these slide sandals I knew I had to have them! From the knotted bow to the adorable stripe pattern, these are so perfect for summer and I’ve loved styling them for patriotic holidays. They are very comfortable as well and under $25!

BCBG White Studded Sandals - these were such a great find last summer at TJ Maxx and I’ve had so much fun styling them! I typically go for more of a understated shoe but I couldn’t pass these up with the studs. I can’t find this exact pair in stock online but found similar white studded ones here and here, and I also love these plain white ones here, here and here as well.

Nude Sam & Libby Sandals - I have had these sandals for as long as I can remember and honestly am in shock they have lasted this long. They are my go-to sandal that go with nearly everything and are super comfortable even after years of wearing them. They are from back when Target carried Sam & Libby shoes so I don’t have a link for y’all but they are a Jack Rodgers dupe.

WEDGES

Dolce Vita Shae Espadrille Sandal Wedge - nothing says summer shoes likes an espadrille wedge. These are so comfortable and easy to walk in which is an added bonus! They come in a few colors as well but I love the grey suede. Great deal at under $55!

Dolce Vita Pima Wedge - I love the cork bottom on these! I got these last summer but linked the updated style for you. There isn’t much of a difference, just the shape of the top strap. These wedges are SO lightweight, they are like a feather making them comfortable and easy to walk in. Another great deal at under $60!

SANDALS / HEELS

A New Day Haley Two Strap City Sandal Pumps - I think I wear these heels 5 out of 7 days, they are the most perfect closet staple and so comfortable! I have them in tan and I think I might add the black and cognac as well that’s how much I love these. It’s a moderate heel height so they are great for work or play, plus they are under $30!

A New Day Ema High Block Heel Pump - these are another closet staple must-have IMO! You’ve probably seen this style heel from a ton of different shoe designers but I have to say, these are the most comfortable by far. I have them in both nude suede and black suede, and they are under $30!

Universal Thread Etta Ankle Strap Sandal - I shared these in a previous post about shoes for fall that aren’t booties, and they’ve quickly become a nearly year round staple. I love the beautiful cognac color and the heel height is just perfect in my opinion. They are extremely comfortable and also under $30!

LOAFERS & SLIP-ONS

Steve Madden Blush Suede Slip-On Sneakers - I just picked these up the other week and am in love!! I’ve had a thing for blush colored anything lately and these slip-on sneakers certainly fit the bill. I typically don’t gravitate towards Steve Madden because I find they run small and slim but these honestly fit perfectly and I even ended up with a smaller size than I would have anticipated [I went with a 6]. I got mine at TJ Maxx but they are available on Amazon in 3 color options for under $30.

Universal Thread Amber Backless Loafer Mules - I also shared these loafer mules in my post about shoes for fall that aren’t booties. They are such a great staple and can be worn nearly year round. I usually have trouble finding loafers and mules that fit comfortably because I have a bit of a wide foot, but these fit so perfectly! They are great for the office or out and about running errands. A great closet staple, too, currently on clearance for under $20!

And there you have it, a round-up of my go-to affordable summer sandals & shoes. Which ones are your favorite?
