I’m not going to lie, I fell hard for the Birkenstock trend this year. I’ve worn them so much that I can’t even locate the three pairs of Havaianas I usually have on high rotation around this time of year.
While the eye adjusts to such orthopedic ugliness, there are far prettier things we could be adorning our feet with this summer. They are a little harder to find among all the fur, felt and pool slides in store (nothings says summer like FELT) but I’ve dug deep. Behold 11 pairs of gorgeous sandals to buy now.
Go on, treat yo’ self.

There are some lovely sandals here, howeber my eye goes straight to the sole and they all look so thin and unsupportive. I have just bought my forst pair of birkenstocks and am thrilled with them. So comfortable, sturdy and I think they lool good!
I still love Birkies.
Can't wear most of these pictured above, as they feel like I'm walking on the cement underneath my feet.
Would rather be judged for "ugly" than be desperately uncomfortable.
Am I the only one who doesn't think Birkies are ugly???
I've got about a bazillion pairs of them in different colours and prints (they're cheap in Malta, where my husband is from) and I love them. My feet love them.
