The Season’s Top Picks from High Heel Thong Sandals to Casual Beaded Flats

Finding  the right pair of shoes is just one of many fun fashion things we do.  And as the weather turns warm, our attention turns to thong sandals in particular.  If we can find a style to match our cute summer outfit and show off our recent pedicure at the same time, that’s a great combination.  And there are lots of styles to choose from that include quality leather sandals in classic white or today’s metallic colors for added pop to your clothes.

For example, Donald J Pliner has a beautiful pair of dress high heel thong sandals crafted with black suede and a gorgeous rhinestone buckle accent.  Made in Italy, this heeled sandal is also available in antique metallic or patent leather upper material.  Women can also choose from a neutral patent color in either a narrow N width or standard sizes that start at 6.  The padded cushion gives additional support to this comfortably chic thong sandal with 3 1/2 inch heels.

One of our favorite brands comes from Minnetonka Moccasin.  The “Silverthorne Thong” is a low heel casual sandal with outstanding braided leather and metal accents on the T strap.  The footbed is cushioned from toe to heel.  It’s interesting to note that women who have a wide foot enjoy a great fit even with a medium width size from Minnetonka.  If you have a narrow foot, there are no AA sizes, but most ladies do just fine unless they have extra narrow feet.  However, more than one woman rated this footwear as being at least 1/2 size too small.  Keep this in mind if you need a larger size.  The leather post between the toes seems a little stiff in the beginning, but after a short break in period, they feel quite comfortable.  Overall, these are super comfortable casual thong sandals with low to flat heels (about 1 inch).  Offered in a deep red leather as well as black, brown and white.

Although we frequently wear thong sandals with high heels (black or white are our primary favorites), sometimes we need a break from heeled shoes.  No, we’re not talking about wearing flip flops.  Instead, we’ve discovered a pair of cute flat beaded flower sandals.  The Kenneth Cole Reaction “Flower Gem” is an exceptional pair of flats.  The elastic ankle strap at the heel gives this footwear an added measure of comfort.  But the cutest feature on this white leather sandal is the beaded floral accents over the t-strap.  They’re also offered in black leather or a delightful yellow.  But the color combination that seems to get the most compliments is the brown  adorned with turquoise detail.  Fabulous.  And the medium width M seems to handle skinny or narrow feet just fine.  Kenneth Cole has a huge selection of sizes that start at 5 and range up to 11 for women who need a larger fit for their foot.  When you want a change from high heel thong sandals, take a look at the “Flower Gem” today.
