With the same comfort-first approach as the endlessly popular Birkenstock, a fisherman sandal is a shoe you can rely on during the summer months. Unlike its more supple sandal counterparts – flip-flops and slides included – the fisherman’s caged silhouette offers both support and structure.
And while they’re typically chunkier, fisherman sandals are as versatile as any good summer shoe should be, and will pair well with everything from whimsical summer dresses, jorts or linen trousers. (Come autumn, you can also maximise their usage by adding a pair of socks.)
When it comes to popular styles, The Row’s minimalist pair have reigned supreme for some time – founders Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen dig theirs out every summer. Transparent jelly styles from Ancient Greek Sandals, meanwhile, have been a favourite among content creators, thanks to the recent jelly shoe comeback.
Whether worn for city errands or holiday escapes, fisherman sandals are the answer to all your shoe dilemmas – for summer and beyond. Shop Vogue’s edit of the best, below.
