Customer review: “I get so many compliments on these. They are my favorite shoes right now. The soles have padding which make them comfortable. I made the mistake of sizing up but they fit very true to size. They fit snug at first but the leather straps stretch as you wear them. They are definitely not for a wider foot.”

Ulla Johnson’s ring slides are a lower-profile take on your typical chunky summer sandal. Not only are these easier to pack in a suitcase, but they are far more lightweight than that alternative. The stylish gold ring dresses them up, while the leather construction and classic design make them investment-worthy. The best part about these slides is the hidden, not-so-chunky tread. You’ll never slip or slide in these, which is a major complaint about similar styles from other brands.

Colors: Tan

Material: Leather

Customer review: “I replaced my worn-out (and heavy) Nike sport sandals with these. I like that there are fewer straps going across the top of my foot. They are super easy to wear, they fit securely, they dry quickly, and they're lightweight so I can take them on hiking trips for camp/water shoes without weighing down my pack. I love the variety of colors and designs they come in. I opted for the khaki color as they shouldn't get as hot if left in the sun.”

Dressy white heels are one more pair to always have on hand. The three-inch slingback version from ALDO is a step above a kitten heel, but not quite a high heel. Translation? You won’t be in pain counting down the hours until you can take them off. The bow detail adds a feminine touch while the square toe is on trend and modern. Plus, the slingback avoids an ankle strap to elongate the leg.
