I see a few categories of sandals popping up this summer. As predicted from my trip to Italy last year, I knew flat slides would be in. Perfect to throw on with shorts. Gladiators are still around.

I stumbled across the most amazing small local shoe store in Ostuni, Italy, which has been around for 40 years. If you're headed to Puglia, Ostuni is a must, along with this chic reasonably priced sandal store, Erredibi!

When you walk in, here is what you see. I mean, where do you start? They are all so cute!

Here are the 2 pairs that I chose, and my sweet husband purchased them for me. Looking back, I wish I had bought more for friends & family for gifts.
how can i buy these?
Erredibi has a few stores in Southern Italy. They do have a website, but the cost to ship is twice the price of the shoes........so, use it as an excuse to head to Italy!
Although not quite the same.....some examples below of similar simple flat styles you can get in the USA.

I have a few friends headed out on some fabulous beach vacations soon. Here are some ideas of shoes for you.
flat sandals
I went to a beautiful wedding in wine country last weekend. The Rehearsal Dinner was at a lovely home in St. Helena. Since the wise & gracious hosts were hoping to preserve their gorgeous lawn, they gently requested flat shoes. Options below reflect this summer's styles: gladiators, tassels, scallops, or simple slides.
Flat sandals are also great to bring on vacation! Perfect for walking, especially if you're headed to Europe's charming cobblestone streets.
