Women's sandals: find the pair that defines your summer
A warm-weather essential, women's sandals naturally complement every summer wardrobe. Light, feminine and easy to wear, they are available in a wide range of styles, from minimalist flat sandals and leather sandals to wedge designs and elegant heeled models.
Choosing the right pair depends above all on comfort and intended use. Flat sandals are appreciated for their practicality and everyday comfort, while wedge sandals add height without compromising stability. Heeled sandals and embellished styles bring a more sophisticated touch for evenings, celebrations and special occasions.
Heel height, straps, materials and sole construction all contribute to overall comfort. Well-designed straps provide good support and help prevent rubbing during long days spent walking through the city or enjoying summer activities.
Leather, textile and cork: the materials that make a great sandal
Materials have a direct impact on both comfort and style. Women's leather sandals remain a timeless favourite thanks to their natural elegance, durability and ability to soften over time. With proper care, leather retains its flexibility and beautiful appearance season after season.
Synthetic leather and vegan materials are appreciated for their light weight and easy maintenance. Textile, raffia and fabric sandals bring a relaxed summer feel, making them ideal for holidays and bohemian-inspired outfits.
Cork, EVA and rubber soles also play an important role in walking comfort. They improve cushioning, flexibility and grip, particularly during active summer days. Leather soles, often associated with more elegant styles, generally provide less traction but offer a refined and sophisticated look.
Women's sandals: summer style, fit and comfort
Women's sandals can easily be incorporated into a variety of summer outfits. With a lightweight dress or flowing skirt, flat sandals and wedges create an effortless feminine silhouette. For the office, ankle-strap sandals or block-heel designs offer a polished look while remaining comfortable throughout the day.
For evenings and special occasions, metallic, gold or delicate heeled sandals provide an elegant alternative to pumps. Sandals with decorative details or jewellery-inspired embellishments add an extra touch of sophistication.
For weekends and long walks, flat sandals and gladiator-inspired styles remain reliable choices. Neutral shades such as nude, camel and metallic tones pair effortlessly with most summer outfits.
As feet may swell slightly in warm weather, it is advisable to measure your feet at the end of the day and choose sandals that provide secure support without feeling tight. Straps should hold the foot comfortably without causing friction. Our specialists in Aeschbach's 18 stores across Switzerland are available to help you find the perfect pair for summer.
