Ah, is there anything better than shoe shopping? If you know, you know, and shopping for summer sandals might be the best of all. Maybe it’s because you’re going on vacation or shopping for a shoe to wear with your brand-new summer dresses and jean shorts. Or because it’s so easy to find adorable summer sandals on Amazon for under $50 in colors and silhouettes that you don’t normally wear, making it a double win for your wallet and wardrobe.
Finding trend-worthy summer sandals for under $50 is not hard, but you have to know where to look. And be open to playing with styles. Is it just me or does everyone have a bit of a different shoe personality in the summer? It’s the perfect time to try out a statement color when you normally wear black everything or give platforms a go for a little height when you would never normally choose a heel for a daytime look. It’s summer! Be easy breezy and try new things, right? That includes your shoe game. These sandals are all under the $50 mark and have multiple color options, so you can find your perfect match.
