One of the hardest items to find for clients are cool looking but comfortable sandals. It is harder than you think! As someone always on my feet, I have particular affection for this category and have built up a very diverse summer sandal wardrobe over the years. By diverse I mean my sandal wardrobe includes everything from Prada to Cole Haan to Naturalizer. The same rules apply no matter the price point: they have to be fashionable but not too trendy, and I must be able to pound the pavement of NYC in them all day. Here are some ideas (in a range of price points!) from this season’s offerings. Happy Shopping!
