Hot weather and summer vacations calls for easy, breezy footwear.

Summer is upon us, the weather is turning, people are venturing outside, and spirits are lifting. We can all agree, we need a little sunshine! The best parts of summer come along with endless activities and vacations, whether you prefer to be active with outdoor sports and going on adventures, or are more of a lounge-in-the-sun kind of gal. But whichever kind of warm-weather person you are, chances are you will be making a trip (or multiple) to the beach.

Once you have your perfect bathing suit picked out, and your favorite cover-up, you might be left stuck on what you should wear to walk on the hot sandy terrain. The worst thing is when you have to take your shoes off while you run through the hot sand, or when you end up with wet shoes that won't dry. And don't even get us started about the sand that you trek all the way home that seems to stick around until the following summer. But fear not! We have searched far and wide for the best sand- and water-friendly shoes for everyone, from sportier styles to your classic flip-flop, and even shoes you can transition from walking on the beach to walking into town.
