Sole Searching

TBD

Summer in Miami means your footwear works overtime. From seaside escapes to impromptu dinner invitations, your shoes need to take you everywhere in style. This season’s sandals offer something for every step: sleek flats for effortless elegance, sky-high heels for unforgettable nights, and playful kitten heels that strike the perfect in-between.

Each pair tells its own story. Gucci’s sculpted wood platforms prove that elevated comfort is having a major moment, while the luxurious suede finish channels summer’s most coveted texture. Cage-like constructions—like McQueen’s architectural T-bar—transform functional straps into wearable art. Even the jelly sandal is having a sophisticated comeback, with Chloé’s whimsical design blending a classic thong silhouette with a wavy sole and shell-shaped heel that feels both nostalgic and completely now. No matter where the sunny months take you, let this curated edit be your go-to for a sophisticated summer.
