One common thing all women can look forward to when the season changes is wearing a different kind of shoes. Boots are trendy in the winter and fall when the weather is much cooler and then strappy sandals start to surface in the spring as women show off their light colors and cute dresses. The summer time is geared towards the hotter weather shoes like flip flops and slides. Let’s take a closer look at these hotter weather shoe types and see what makes them so stylish during the summer season:

1. Flip flops

These cute shoes are simple and fast to stick your feet into and the available colors make it possible for you to match with any swimsuit or outfit in your closet. Studies show that at least 31% of women feel that they must have these shows during the summer. Even with the minor concern of danger to your ankles, knees, and feet, you can’t deny the actually benefits of wearing these types of shoes. Some of the benefits of wearing these shoes include:

• Good for arthritis
• Easy to put on
• Keep your feet aired out
• Inexpensive to purchase
• Relaxing feel to psyche and feet
• Easy to find for purchase
• Various designs, types, and colors are available

2. Mules

This classic trendy shoe is perfect for the ladies that are not fully ready to show off their feet. These close toe front and open back shoes come in a variety of heel sizes including kitten heels, flats, high heels, and espadrilles. The benefits of these shows are:

• They’re appropriate for dinner, work, or the beach.
• Make a sleek look by putting them together with cropped pants

3. Ankle wrap sandals

These shoes are extremely comfortable, especially for those battling plantar fasciitis. They are dressy enough to wear with your summer dress. Wear them to an evening dinner or just during the day with a tee and shorts. Here are the benefits of this shoe:

4. Slides

Slides are the easiest to slip on of all the summer sandals. Throw on these shows when you’re ready to run outside really quick to get something out of the car. These are also pretty good beach shoes. Slides might not be as comfortable or provide much arch protection, but they are really for temporary wear to protect the bottom of your feet. Some of the benefits of these shoes are:

• They’re available in a variety of designs, styles, and colors
