For summer, there are few wardrobe pieces more essential than a great pair of sandals. The ones you’ll reach for over and over? Styles that are both cute and comfortable, says Kari Molvar, Senior Editor at Forbes Vetted as well as a mom of two. “I’m constantly on the go with my kids and I no longer buy sandals that just look cute. They have to be functional and wearable all day or else they’re useless to me!” she says. “As a fashion editor, I test a lot of footwear and I spent about a month researching and testing sandals this spring,” she adds.
After all that testing, her favorite qualities that took a sandal from a maybe to a must were being lightweight, cushioned and having adjustable straps. Below, we share some of Kari’s picks that will become everyday outfit staples this summer:
Clarks, $64
French Sole x Tuckernuck, $198
Sorel, $125
Prada, $850
Chloe x Teva, $575
