If you haven’t gotten the memo yet (longer days, more sunshine, all the fun resort collabs and launches), summer is almost here. And you need some new summer footwear, my friend. One of the major sandal trends that I personally feel doesn’t get enough love is the espadrille: It levels up your outfit no matter what you’re wearing. Wide leg culottes and T-shirt? Add espadrilles. Midi dress? You need espadrilles. Jumpsuit for work that looks awkward with the rest of your shoes? Espadrilles (trust me).
But not all espadrilles are created equal—you’ll want to snag a pair for summer that are actually comfortable. Which is why I can’t recommend Skechers’ BOBS Desert Kiss sandals enough. They’re super cute and polished, but feature orthopedic design details that make them comfortable enough to wear all day long.

Shoppers say they do fit large, so size down a half-size.
Having at least one closed-toe sandal option for summer is so crucial, especially if you’re going to be traveling and need the extra cover-up, or for some place like Disneyland where you can easily get splashed on and could use the coverage. Other features—like a gore strap upper that has more give than canvas, as well as a back strap that’s adjustable—make this sandal so comfortable and walking-friendly. The toe box is *actually* roomy, so even folks with wider feet will find these sandals fit really well.
Plus, they have a memory foam footbed, which feels like a mini cloud for your arches (hello, all-day support). They’re machine-washable, too, which is such a clutch feature if you’re going to wear them around a lot in the summer (no more stinky shoes).
One reviewer writes, “I am so pleased with these sandals! I have horrible feet and surgery made them worse: hammer toes and bunions to both feet. I first wore these to an outdoor wedding and for the first time in decades I felt like I was wearing fashionable shoes! Wear them out to eat, meetings and church…just love them!!!!”
Another says, “I ordered black in a half size smaller, because of comments from others. I have narrow feet and these worked well. The toe section is a little roomy for my narrow foot. I ordered another pair in beige, because they are so versatile and stylish.”
Tl;dr: if you need a cute pair of sandals this summer and have a lot of walking planned in your future, snag these sneaky ortho pair while they’re on sale.
