When it comes to summer footwear trends, slide sandals are having a major moment (and if it isn’t already evident, I’m a huge fan of the style). From sleek and minimal to those with a chunky raised platform, there are loads of options to choose from. Let me know which pair is your favorite from this roundup!

Trending for Summer: Slide Sandals
Target quilted slides (go up 1/2 size) – These have been my most-worn pair and they’re under $20! They were a bit stiff at first but now that I’ve broken them in, they’re super comfy. I suggest going up 1/2 size because they do run narrow.
H&M braided slides (TTS) – These sandals look expensive but were under $20, so I had to snag them. As far as slides go, braided styles seem to be the most popular this summer. Unfortunately, this exact pair is sold out but there are lots of similar slides to choose from on the H&M site.
Kaanas raffia slide (TTS) – If you’re looking for a slide with summery vibes for vacation, this raffia pair is perfect! The footbed is nice and cushioned and the neutral straw color goes with anything. This is my first style from Kaanas but definitely won’t be my last (shop the brand here).
Saint Laurent ‘Tribute’ slides (go up 1/2 size) – I’ve been eyeing these investment sandals for a few years and my husband recently gifted them to me for Mother’s Day. The slim, elegant design gives them the ability to effortlessly go from casual to dressier outfits. As far as comfort goes, they’re stiff at first but break in nicely after a few wears. I recommend going up a 1/2 size because the front is very narrow (I wear a US 7 and ordered a 38).
Birkenstock ‘Madrid’ slide (TTS) – If comfort is your first priority when it comes to sandals, Birkenstock is the way to go (lots of new styles here). I recommend referring to the Birkenstock size chart to determine your size; for example, I am a US 7 and wear a 38 in Birkenstock.
H&M leather slide (TTS) – These genuine leather slides are a great price point at under $60 and the twisted detail gives them such a high-end look. I will say that the bottom is a bit stiff and flat so if you need arch support, they may not be the pair for you.
