The clear sandal trend took off a few years ago and I am so grateful that it did! Clear sandals have been the answer to so many of my summer outfit shoe problems. I tend to wear more color in the spring and summer but am not going to invest in sandals of all different colors to go with each outfit. Neutrals are fine but even then I have to decide which shades will go with the most looks. Then when clear sandals entered the scene, my entire summer wardrobe was easier to style! At first, the clear sandals that were available looked a tad cheap so it took a season or two for various brands/designers to put out more elevated options. I purchased a higher heel pair for dressy looks and a lower heel pair for more casual outfits. Years later, I still wear them ALL the time and recommend them to everyone.

You may wonder why clear shoes often look so great and that is because they lengthen the leg and don’t cut off the foot in any weird way. Even if the straps are thin or thick, they are hardly noticeable on the foot so the outfit is the main focus. Since I first purchased a pair of clear sandals, so many more brands have put out versions so there is definitely something for everyone! I thought I would share some of my own looks that I’ve worn with clear sandals as well as different options for anyone looking to add a pair to their summer wardrobe. Trust me when I tell you that they will quickly become one of your most worn shoes when you realize how easily they can be worn with nearly any summer look!

Best Clear Sandals For Summer

Cult Gaia Gigi Sandal

Cult Gaia is always known for their sculptural like accessories that resemble art pieces. While some of their shoes are absolutely stunning to look at, the comfort or walkability may be challenging. This pair of sandals has been a staple for the brand for years and mixes sculptural elements with a low heel and simple clear strap. These are a bit of an investment but are a timeless pair of sandals that you can wear year after year.

Veronica Beard Maris Jelly Sandals

Clear jelly sandals are everywhere this summer but I like this pair in particular because they look a bit more dressy than others I’ve seen. I love the silver base and the slightly narrowed toe. These are a great option for any summer vacations you may have and plan to be walking a ton and need a sandal that looks chic and goes with every outfit.

Larroude Dew Drop Mule

I have so many pairs of Larroude shoes and love every single one! These look similar to the Cult Gaia but that large block heel means they will be so easy to walk in! LOL If you need a slight heel for a dressy summer look but want something that you can stand in and walk across grass or sand – these are a great option.

Andre Assous Drew Sandal

I just stumbled across these and am in love! They look nearly identical to the Schutz Victorie but the slimmer square toe is super flattering. I prefer a pointy toe with most of my shoes/sandals so this is closer to the style that I love to wear.

Schutz Ariella Stiletto Sandal

This was the first pair of clear sandals I purchased and are still my most worn. I recommend them to EVERYONE that needs a dressier sandal for summer that will go with anything.

Larroude Vivi Lucite Mule

These are a top seller from Larroude and for good reason. I love the fact that the heel itself is also clear which makes these truly a shoe that will not compete with any outfit.

Schutz Victorie Slide Sandal

These were the second pair of clear sandals I purchased and wear all summer long. I like them paired with more casual looks because of the low block heel and cork material. In terms of comfort, these are a 10/10. I can wear them for hoursssss and my feet never hurt.

Andre Assous Anfisa Espadrille Wedge Sandal

I added these to the list because so many prefer a wedge heel for ease of walking and comfort. The simple two clear straps is minimal and chic and I love the braided rope detail on the wedge. I can imagine these with a pair of white linen pants and a striped boatneck tee!

Tony Bianco Sabelle Sandal

This pair is next on my list to get because I have been lusting after them for so long! I love the clear block heel which isn’t too wide but just wide enough to make it easy to walk. They come in a higher heel but at this point in my life, I will probably get more use out of the lower heel. LOL
