Get your pedicures ready because exposed-toe season is officially here! Spring has sprung, and my boots are exiting the rotation in place of sandals. I personally couldn't be more excited. To prep for the shoe swap, I've been sifting through all of the sandals currently in my closet, and in doing so, I have come to one important realization: I'm over uncomfortable sandals. I own so many pairs of sandals that I never wear, and after reflecting, I've concluded it's because, although pretty to look at, they hurt my feet.
They say with age comes wisdom, and I guess I'm at that point in life where it doesn't matter how cute the shoes are. If they're not comfortable, I'm not going to wear them. I've come to accept this fact and am on a mission to replace my uncomfortable sandals with equally chic styles that won't kill my feet. I've scoured my favorite brands and retailers in search of the best sandal options for the upcoming season and figured I'd share them with you here. It's 2022, and we're done with blisters. Keep reading to see and shop 30 chic, comfortable pairs of summer sandals you'll actually want to wear.
