Affordable Summer Shoe Guide
Happy Friday! Today I’m sharing an affordable summer shoe guide. I’ve never really been a shoe person until recently. I do have a few but I think of myself as a bag girl more. I think it’s because living in the Philippines for 10 years and having limited choices for someone who has a large foot I didn’t get the options to have cute shoes. Now living in LA, I have quite the array to choose from and I have taken full advantage of it. So I thought since I love the spring/summer shoes I bought I would share all my favorites. I also did a fall version last year here. Now I think I’m falling more in love with shoes and though it will never replace my bag obsession I am here for the new found love of cute footwear. I can’t wait to show you all the summer shoe trends I picked up and an affordable summer shoe guide!
I’m going to start with the fancy shoes first. These were my birthday shoes I wore here. They are my go to style of heels and I prefer these if I’m wearing some sort of heels. I have them in so many colors too and have some in neutral shades like nude and black and then a pop of color like these hot pink ones and red for the holidays. These are the perfect shoe for going out for dinner or some special occasion that you don’t need to walk around much in.

These shoes are my favorite out of the bunch. I love the color and they were just what I was looking for in a summer shoe. Not too high of a wedge but high enough to give height, then I wanted the to be an espadrille sandal, in my size and of course not too expensive. It hit all the boxes. I can’t wait to wear these and style them with all my summer outfits. You can see them styled with an outfit here.

Cream Lace Up Espadrille Wedges
These shoes are my faves from last spring and summer but they are a classical shoe that won’t go out of style and can look good anytime I had to feature them again. It’s so nice and so pretty too and I love dressing them up or down and could be an everyday shoe or for an occasion too. I think these with a flowy summer dress would be amazing and scream the perfect summer look of a blogger. I wrote more about them here.

Mauve Platform Espadrille Wedges
These are a new purchase but I thought I would still feature them because they are an ideal shoe. They are a blogger inspired purchase and I was influenced to pick them up because they are so cute. I think they are a designer dupe of another shoe which I cannot afford so these were a fraction of the price and so cute. It has a pretty high wedge about 3 inches but it has a platform so it makes it so easy to walk in and you don’t feel that you are walking with such a high wedge. It is very cushiony and comfy on the feet. It is a special occasion shoe for me as I don’t wear this everyday but will look perfect with any summer outfit.

Now for the comfy and casual shoes. I love sandals for summer. It is my go to kind of shoe especially when the weather is hot and you don’t want anything thick on your feet. These are a Walmart find and so affordable and cute. I love the small polka dots and how cute it the bow. These are so comfy and the memory foam cushion makes it so easy to walk in. It fits my foot nicely and is the perfect everyday shoe.

These are very similar to the ones above. I guess my fave summer shoe style is white bow slides. They were super affordable and a close dupe to a shoe I was wanting that was over $100 so these were so cheap and had the same look for less which I am all about. They have these elastics on the strap which is great as I have wide feet and it stretches to fit mine and it isn’t too tight on my foot. That’s why I don’t buy sandals with straps like these as they are always tight but these adjust and are secure on the foot. It is pretty heavy duty and has no cushion though so keep that in mine when buying them.

I love flip flops. They were always my go to summer footwear. Honestly they are a year round footwear. I use them for whenever I need to pop out somewhere so my backyard, to getting the mail to going to the grocery store. I love this style and love this kind of flip flop. I hate the rubber ones and always slip in those but these I have no problem and can wear them for so long. Last I wore them was here.

I needed to add some kind of closed shoe so sneakers it is. This has been my go to style and I love them so much and haven’t looked back since I discovered the style. They are a great everyday shoe when you want to have more protection then a flip flop. I love a good white slip on sneaker and this is like the 6th pair I have bought. They are another Walmart find, come in so many colors and under $10. Such a good shoe and pretty heavy duty.

Here is the video where I style an outfit with the shoes.
That was an affordable summer shoe guide! I love my picks and they are all super girly and feminine too. So if you are like me who loves pretty shoes to display and wear out then these are for you. I made sure that all my picks are affordable and easy to access. I can’t wait to wear the new pairs outside the house and quit strutting around my apartment in them. I hope you enjoyed reading my affordable summer shoe guide. xo
Gosh, these shoes are all adorable!
I love anything hot pink, so those first two shoes are right up my street.
(Also loving the polka dot sliders).
