    Sun-filled days are swiftly approaching, which means that it’s officially time for me to ditch my clunky, closed-toed boots for this season’s best sandals. As temperatures begin to rise, I’m embracing a slew of sizzling shoe trends that have trickled down from the Spring 2025 runways to the mainstream market. I’m talking about lofty wedges with a boho-chic flair, fisherman sandals that champion fashion’s nautical craze, and platform slip-ons that boast a dose of drama.

    To curate my assortment of warm-weather shoes, I’m relying on a few of my favorite shopping destinations including Nordstrom, Mango, and Zara. To no surprise, all three retailers have everything I could possibly need and more. And the best part of all? Every single style that made it into my shopping cart falls right under $200, so I won’t have to spend a pretty penny.

    Ahead, discover a handpicked list of 24 sandals that I’m coveting this season. Aside from trending shoe designs, I’ve also included enduring classics that are just as popular—like neutral-toned strappy sandals and barely-there slides.
