My mom owns more shoes out of anyone I know; she has an entire lineup of heels, flats, sneakers, and more neatly stored in transparent cases, turning her bedroom into a showroom. Naturally, that obsession trickled down to me, and now I have a closet dedicated to footwear. And if my expertise and mom have taught me anything, it’s that not all shoes are created equally—including sandals.
While there’s a time and a place for a good flip-flop and chunky wedge, sometimes all you need is a simple slide sandal. But I’m not talking about those casual Nike Just Do It shoes my dad wears or even double-strap Birkenstocks. No, these are upgraded, refined, and dare I say expensive-looking slides—and I found five Amazon versions starting at just $20.

The key to capitalizing on the look is by securing a style with a relatively flat sole and single wide strap (think Ashley Olsen, Margot Robbie, and Cindy Crawford). Thanks to that one detail, they’re super sleek and minimalistic—but don’t categorize them as boring; that standalone band can include all of the bells and whistles you desire, including notched edges, oversized buckles, and larger-than-life florals.

Elevated slides don’t over complicate things, either. Versions like these Sam Edelman Ariane Sandals can be thrown on at a moment’s notice; there are no ties, clasps, or fastenings you have to worry about. I even keep a pair that looks like these Steve Madden Hadyn shoes next to my door, slipping them on for last-minute coffee runs and throwing away the trash.

Slide sandals are easy to style, too. Wear them with cut-off shorts and baby tees, tiered maxi dresses, or breezy pants. The shoes can effortlessly be dressed up or down, making them perfect for wearing to park picnics, dinners in the city, and even museum tours. Best of all, your feet will feel breezy and fresh during the hottest of summer days.
