No summer footwear collection is complete without one of the best block heeled sandals. The longevity of this extremely classic staple can be defined by the versatility and comfort the low heel shape brings. It never loses its style status and can be paired with practically any outfit with ease, adding that extra touch of polish to even the most casual ensembles. Luckily, many designers keep the block heel as an evergreen shape, reinventing it season after season. With such a variety of options, it is hard to choose just one pair.
So a few tips as you scour through the possibilities. If you are going the minimal route, make sure to look for well-crafted leather that will stand the test of time, like those from Emme Parsons and Porte & Paire. Don’t be afraid of prints like the joy-inducing Larroude styles. Test out textures like grosgrain, linen, and raffia, a signature of Carrie Forbes, to add depth to an otherwise simple design. And when in doubt, styles from labels like Gucci and Valentino will never lose their cachet.
Below, shop 27 of the best block heeled sandals for every occasion this summer.
