I Found My Comfiest Summer Sandals for 60% Off at Nordstrom

I have a checklist for the perfect summer sandals: They must have a cushiony footbed, breathable design, and style range so that I can dress them up or down depending on the occasion. And while I’ve cycled through quite a few pairs that have almost fit the bill, there’s one style, in particular, that I deem my tried-and-true slides for the season. 

I present the Sam Edelman Bay cutout sandals, which come in 19 different colors—and 11 of them are currently on sale. The classic style is reminiscent of designer slides that cost upwards of $700 but at a much more manageable cost even at the full price.

What sets this style apart from other slides is its versatility and comfort. I’ve owned two different colors over the years, including classic black and a vibrant red, and I love the way that I can toss them on for a quick run to the grocery store, or wear them with something more polished for an elevated summer outfit. Even when I do sport them with something more casual, the leather design and intricate details (like that contrast stitching, in particular) create an overall clean girl look—even if it’s just for my walk to pilates. 

As a New Yorker, I easily clock over 10,000 steps in the shoes on the regular. The flat sole paired with the leather upper and synthetic lining and sole provides the right amount of support and cushion without feeling overly constricting. While it took a wear or two to fully break in the slides, once the leather loosened a tiny bit, they never rubbed uncomfortably against my skin. 

Shoppers raved about the sandals, which have over 950 glowing reviews on Nordstrom’s site. Customers agreed with my feelings, saying they “love” how the shoe “has enough cushion and support for easy walking.” One person added that they go with “every outfit,” while another noted that the “price is right” and the “quality is perfect.” Many reviewers shared that they are “true to size” and “very comfortable.” 

Head over to Nordstrom’s site to browse additional styles from Sam Edelman, or keep scrolling to check out others I’m eyeing, including the slides reviewers called “durable” and the raffia buckle design that is discounted in three different colors.
