Summer Shoe Trends to Start Wearing ASAP

Summer is so close we can almost taste it! But before you head out for vacays and summer evenings outdoors, be sure to pick up a pair or two of trending summer shoes. From indestructible clogs to contoured sandals, here are our favorite shoe trends for summer 2022:

Feet in Crocs

Why worry about sharks at the beach when Crocs are everywhere? Seaside, poolside, in the yard or on the pavement, you’re sure to find Crocs somewhere this summer. Choose classic clogs decked out in tie-dye and wear them with a sports bra and oversized sweatpants, or go with an open Crocs sandal and pair with bike shorts and a crop top. Crocs are ultra-comfy, and you can just hose them off if they get grassy, sandy or muddy. Add Jibbitz charms to up the ante on your shoe trends this summer.

Hey, Duuuude

You’re probably not old enough to know the classic ’90s Nickelodeon show “Hey Dude.” But whether you’re already singing the theme song or trying to find it on YouTube, you’re probably familiar with Hey Dude shoes. Spoiler alert: They’re way better than the show anyway. Why do we love them? Well, they’ve got the look of a moccasin, but they’re ultra-light and have memory foam insoles and a canvas upper. The best part? They’re totally machine washable. Pair with a summertime romper or cropped jumpsuit, wear them with your joggers, snapback and team tee, or complete the look with your favorite swimsuit.

Footloose & Fancy Free

Sure, you can hike the Appalachian Trail or float down a river in a pair of Chaco sandals. After all, the footwear was started by a whitewater rafting and fishing guide to keep feet from getting wrinkled and soggy post-adventuring. (Gross, we know.) We’re crushing hard on the Chaco Chillos slides this season, however. Ridiculously light, comfy and stylish, these slides look great with leggings and a lightweight top, dresses or denim. They’re perfect for a day trip to the lake or an outdoor barbecue.

Bears, Beets, Birkenstock

We love Birkenstock anytime of year, but sometimes summer travel calls for a lightened-up shoe. Enter the EVA Birkenstock sandals with a one-piece EVA-constructed footbed and dual straps with adjustable metal buckles. Wear the sandals while picking blueberries, riding bikes, binging old episodes of “The Office” or lounging by the pool. Wear them with a toe-to-head adidas Originals fit, including Three Stripes track pants and a graphic tee with Trefoil logo.

Like the Drip, Drip, Drip

Play in the rain and jump in the puddles with UGG’s waterproof Tasman rain boots. These colorful clog options are perfect for afternoon summer showers, whether you’re walking the dog or walking to work. Thick soles and removable socks will keep feet cozy and dry. Wear them with bike shorts and a tee — and don’t forget the umbrella.
