"Summer tends to come with a lot more activities than the other seasons do. Spontaneous walk with friends? Trip to the lake to read and watch the sun set? Beach day? Your feet are hitting the pavement more from May to September than they are the rest of the year combined—and that means you need some walkable shoes that can take you to your destination blister-free.
This Baggy Dad style from Levi’s is a tried-and-true favorite our team swears by, made famous by an effortlessly cool fit and PJ-like comfort.
Luckily, summer shoes don’t need to sacrifice any chicness to remain comfortable. A platform sandal or flat slide has all the same outfit-enhancing power as a heeled one does. As a bonus, flat styles happen to be trending this year—looking at you, ballet flats—meaning that your walkable-shoe roster just got even deeper.
Ready to step out into summer in style? These shoes will take you wherever your social calendar does—even if that includes a good dose of walking.
