Summer is just around the corner, and if you plan to hit the sand, you\u2019ll need the proper attire. Aside from a swimsuit, sunglasses, a wide-brim hat, shorts, and a cover-up, beach-friendly shoes are a must-have. But don\u2019t worry\u2014practical, comfortable kicks can be totally stylish.<\/p>\n
At Vionic, we\u2019re passionate about creating flattering footwear for all occasions, activities, and terrains. And since the company was founded by surf-loving podiatrist Phillip Vasyli<\/a>, you can bet we have stylish shoes to wear on the beach. Consider this your guide to finding the perfect beach sandals<\/a> and shoes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Whether you have a tropical vacation on the calendar or live near the ocean, footwear shouldn\u2019t be overlooked if you plan on making your way to the sand. Maybe you love long walks on the beach, splashing in the tide, swimming in the ocean, lounging on the shore, or all of the above. In any case, you\u2019ll need a proper pair of beach shoes.<\/p>\n So, what are the best shoes to wear on the beach? While there are certain features to look for when shopping for beach-ready footwear, you\u2019ve got options. Flip flops, toe-post sandals, slides, strappy sandals, sneakers, and wedge heels are all excellent picks. Here\u2019s a breakdown of each style and how to find the best pair.<\/p>\n When it comes to shoes to wear on the beach, flip flops have been a staple for decades. These Y-strap sandals can be effortlessly slipped on and off. Not only that, but they\u2019re also lightweight and compact, which makes them easy to stash in a beach bag [3]. Plus, flip flops are universally flattering and pair well with virtually any summertime outfit. Suffice it to say, they definitely align with the beach dress code.<\/p>\n And yet, not all flip flops are created equal. While most are relatively flimsy and devoid of arch support, the orthotic flip flops from Vionic are another story. Think of them as the casually cool beach shoe you know and love, but with innovative features that benefit your feet.<\/p>\n Each pair of flip flops from Vionic has:<\/strong><\/p>\n Besides feeling good on your feet, our supportive designs look just like traditional rubber flip flops. They\u2019re manufactured with durable EVA rubber and come in iconic thin-strap styles with subtle detailing. Choose from a classic flat-soled silhouette or platform flip flops in a variety of colors and patterns.<\/p>\n If you like Y-strap sandals and want a more solid sole, orthotic toe-post sandals are the way to go. They\u2019re similar to flip flops but with sturdier footbeds. Also, toe-post sandals typically have thicker straps.<\/p>\n And like flip flops, toe-post sandals vary in terms of arch support and comfort. We probably don\u2019t need to tell you that Vionic\u2019s take on toe-posts covers all the bases. As a leading footwear innovator, our orthotic sandals<\/a> are both flattering and beneficial for your feet.<\/p>\n Each pair of toe-post sandals from Vionic features:<\/strong><\/p>\n The patterned tread provides better traction in the sand, and the shock-absorbing midsoles reduce stress on your feet and ankles. On top of that, the contoured arches support the natural alignment of your feet and calves.<\/p>\n Our stable yet lightweight toe-post sandals come in a variety of materials, colors, and patterns with varying heel heights. Many have simple, versatile designs, and others come with trendy embellishments and summery prints.<\/p>\n Flip flops and toe-post sandals give off unequivocally beachy vibes, but that doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re the only shoes you can wear on the beach. If you prefer slides, ankle-strap designs, hook-and-loop sandals, or wide straps with toe loops, these are all great options.<\/p>\n In many instances, ankle straps are ideal for the beach because they won\u2019t slide off your feet when you walk through the sand, splash in the waves, or go for a swim. Of course, the most important thing to look for in a pair of beach shoes is sufficient support<\/a> [1].<\/p>\n Each pair of Vionic arch-support sandals are:<\/strong><\/p>\n If you want fashionable sandals with plenty of arch support, Vionic has you covered. We carry a wide selection of men\u2019s and women\u2019s comfortable sandals<\/a> in both classic and contemporary designs, many of which have adjustable straps.<\/p>\n Our beach-friendly sandals come in lots of different colors, patterns, and materials, including matte leather, patent leather, suede, sturdy textiles, and durable rubber. Choose from rubber, cork, microfiber, or espadrilles-style footbeds, in styles ranging from espadrille wedges<\/a> to leather flip flops and more. One thing to keep in mind with slides and strappy sandals is that leather and suede may become damaged if they get wet. Rubber soles and footbeds are best for the beach, but most leather sandals should hold up as long as they aren\u2019t submerged in water.<\/p>\n To elevate your beach style, opt for a pair of wedge heels<\/a>. These summer shoes give you a boost while lending to a trendy, feminine vibe. And with thick, sturdy soles, you don\u2019t have to worry about your heels sinking into the sand.<\/p>\n Just like all of our footwear styles, Vionic\u2019s orthotic wedges have supportive, contoured footbeds and deep heel cups. Similar to our sandals, Vionic wedges come in many different styles, colors, and materials. As for the soles, you have a few options to choose from. Your best bet for the beach is rubber, raffia, or cork, but some leather designs may also work.<\/p>\n If you prefer to wear tall shoes no matter where you\u2019re headed, Vionic wedges are a perfect choice. Our chic styles go with swimwear, shorts, tank tops, button-down shirts, sarongs, sundresses, and maxi dresses. And unlike other brands, our wedges are easy to walk in, even on the sand.<\/p>\n Although walking sandals<\/a> are go-to footwear for the beach, some people prefer closed-toe shoes. In that case, we suggest a pair of comfortable low-top sneakers. You may not be able to avoid getting water or sand in your shoes. However, the extra material can prevent sunburned feet and protect<\/a> against sharp rocks, glass, and other abrasive debris in the sand [2].<\/p>\n Unlike most tennis shoes, the low-top beach sneaker<\/a> from Vionic is one of the best shoes to wear without socks<\/a> because they were made that way. When you\u2019re walking through sand and kicking around in the tide, you\u2019ll be glad you\u2019re not wearing them.<\/p>\n Each pair of Vionic beach sneakers have:<\/strong><\/p>\n Additionally, our closed-toe beach kicks are made from eco-conscious materials and are 100% vegan. They\u2019re easy to take on and off, light enough to stash in a tote, and are some of the best shoes for beach walking<\/a>. But that\u2019s not all\u2014Vionic\u2019s casual beach sneakers are the perfect complement to any seaside ensemble.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Is there anything better than spending time by the ocean? It\u2019s hard to beat the warm sunshine, cool winds, refreshing saltwater, sand between your toes, calming sound of waves crashing, and stunning views you get at the beach. But one thing that\u2019ll definitely enhance your experience is comfortable shoes.<\/p>\n With Vionic, you never have to choose between comfort and style. Our cutting-edge footwear is designed to make your feet feel good and look good, no matter where you\u2019re going.<\/p>\n Every pair of Vionic shoes is embedded with our exclusive Vio-Motion Support<\/a> technology. What this means is that you get arch support, contoured heel seats, and built-in alignment, all of which are concealed within the shoe. To the untrained eye, they look just like any fashionable pair you\u2019d see at a department store.<\/p>\n Foot discomfort and pain should never be caused by your footwear. And with our podiatrist recommended shoes<\/a>, it won\u2019t. Many Vionic shoe styles have a Seal of Acceptance from the APMA<\/a> (American Podiatric Medical Association). This certifies that a pair of shoes provides adequate support and benefits foot health<\/a>.<\/p>\n Vionic carries an impressive inventory of supportive flip flops, orthotic toe-post sandals, arch-support sandals, contoured wedge heels, and low-top casual sneakers<\/a> for men and women. When you browse our collections, you\u2019ll find high-quality footwear in a wide range of sizes, colors, designs, and materials.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re wondering about the best shoes to wear on the beach, it really depends on your personal style, preferences, and planned activities. In any case, Vionic shoes are made to be comfortable to wear for hours on end. Whether you plan to swim, stroll, splash, or sit back and chill at the beach, we have a perfect pair of shoes for you\u2014maybe even two or three!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sources:<\/strong> 2. https:\/\/www.verywellfit.com\/tips-for-walking-on-the-beach-4065400<\/p>\n 3. https:\/\/hemelboards.com\/the-perfect-shoes-to-wear-at-the-beach\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What Are the Best Shoes to Wear on the Beach?<\/h2>\n
