Olympic athletes aren’t the only people who get to wear shiny hardware made from gold, silver and bronze; for us shoeaholics we’d rather wear these precious metals on our feet. This summer score major fashion points and step into one (or two) of these 10 must-have metallic sandals which will even impress tough judging panel on Fashion Police.
Bronzed Up
Leave the bronzer at home and slide your tootsies into Dr. Martens’s Clarissa sandal. We love the all bronze design of this shoe from the buckle to the chunky straps and matching sole, which is air cushioned for maximum comfort. For a sky high shoe option, Shoe Cult’s Halcyon wedge can be yours for just under $100 and with its five inch heel you’ll be ready to take-on the fiercest fashion competitors on and off the runway – Naomi Campbell look out!
Dr. Martens Clarissa Sandal, $150; Shoe Cult Halcyon Wedge, $95.55.
Go For The Gold!
If you must give into the Birkenstock summer shoe trend then at least do it in style. Loeffler Randal’s Paz sandal pairs gold with zebra-print calf hair taking your fashion senses on a walk on the wild side. For a more sophisticated look, Ann Taylor keeps it clean and classic with the Katerina wedge combing the properties of an espadrille, a slim shaped wedge and gold metallic ankle straps.
Ann Taylor Katerina Metallic Wedge, $145.64; Loeffler Randall Paz Sandal, $170.69.
