Aside from eating mountains of ice cream, shopping for sandals is the best part of summer. Finally, you can free your feet from their boot prisons — and you don’t have to spend a ton to do it. The truly money-savvy can dig up a good pair for under $20, but to avoid blisters and sores, consider paying a bit more on sandals made out of quality materials. That way, they’ll at least last you through August.
Can’t decide what color your sandals should be? Maybe the answer is “all of them.”
