  • The Only Sandals You Need This Long Holy Week Break

    As the Holy Week break is just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about your vacation plans and what you’ll be packing. And if there’s one thing everyone needs in their summer wardrobe, it’s a pair of comfortable sandals! Whether you’re planning on hitting the beach or exploring a new city, we’ve got you covered with our top picks for the best summer sandals that will take you from day to night in style.

    Holy Week Sandals 1

    The Pool Slide

    Planning to lounge around the pool all day? Make sure to pack a trusty pair of slides! Beyond its ease of wear and comfort, they’re a surefire way to add a splash of color and playfulness to your feet. Keds’ Bliss II Cocktails Slides and Sperry’s Ombre Float Slide practically have “Poolside Happy Hour” written all over ‘em.

    Holy Week Sandals 2

    The Utilitarian

    If your trip involves a lot of walking and trekking around the locales you’ll be visiting, you need a pair that is as comfortable as is it secure on feet. Merrell’s Huntington and Bravada Backstrap sandals ride on the resurgence of the “90s normcore” trend, backing it up with added cushioning for shock absorption and enhanced traction for all your outdoor activities.

    Holy Week Sandals 3

    The Water Shoe

    Water shoes are a must-have if you need a pair that can do it all, especially if getting wet is an inevitability. Merrell’s Hydro Mocs and Sperry’s Float Fish Core, both sharing a common EVA foam DNA, are getting their time in the sun nowadays (no pun intended) especially if you want something functional yet trendy while on the beach.

    Holy Week Sandals 4

    Looking to have a picture-perfect OOTD post while vacation? Be sure to have a sleek and stylish pair with you to match all your resort-ready looks. We recommend Keds’ Trio Jute Platform Sandal for added height and Sperry’s Plushwave Dock Thongs for all your photo op needs. It also doesn’t hurt that they look great from day to night!
