Summer is upon us, and it’s time to head to your local salon for a fresh pedicure and start sandal shopping. One shoe trend that has taken off in recent years, and now undoubtedly has become a closet must-have: a cushy, plushy, and best puffy sandal. Generally featuring soft, pillow-like leather straps, these styles have been built with extreme comfort in mind. Don’t get us wrong, they are extremely fashion-forward, but your feet will also thank you at the end of the day after wearing a pair of these in the sweltering heat.

Whatever summer style you plan to rock this season, we have you covered. If you are a minimalist, there are plenty of utilitarian slides with criss-cross straps calling your name. If you favor a heel, braided straps and slip-on mule shapes will be your best friend. And if you just need an easy, vacation-appropriate option, a vibrant-colored pool slide will be your ideal pick. So if just need an upgrade on a pair that you’ve worn to pieces already, or have not given the trend a try, shop the 25 best puffy sandals for summer below.
