The 4 Summer Shoe Trends No One Else Will Have (Yet)

You've got your shorts—denim or otherwise. You've got your over-the-top off-the-shoulder blouse. But what's the status of your footwear for summer 2017. We know, we know: If you keep going down the list of seasonal wardrobe swaps, you could be switching out and slotting in pieces well after Labor Day. But there's just something about a good summer shoe—one that you want to wear day in, day out, for a range of activities—that's pretty hard to resist. This year's selection only makes it harder, as brands are zeroing in on details that make it much harder to not throw their shoes in the cart with the rest of the items we somehow convince ourselves are "essentials." (Think colorful, sculptural bouquets on slide sandals, or breathable flats fashioned out of crocheted material.) We rounded up the four top trends we've been eyeing in terms of summer footwear—shop them now before the rest of the world wises up to them.
