Praise the shoe Gods, for there is an ample supply of the ultra flattering, super versatile low and mid heel heights in the sandal universe this season. Dressier (and more elongating) than flat styles, but not as attention-grabbing (or ache-inducing) as full on stilettos, these sandals are summer's secret weapon. We've picked 35 righteous pairs to get you started, from a chunky '90s throwback via ASOS to a minimal Tibi option that proves 2.5" can be incredibly sexy.
