For the girl who doesn’t want any ol’ gladiator, Balenciaga’s take is the answer. Yes, it’s a splurge, but your feet will love you for it. $895, at Balenciaga, New York, 212.206.0872
With its tie-dye, cloud-like print, this dreamy suede sandal just looks like summer. $695, at Jeffrey, New York, 212.206.3928; jeffreynewyork.com
We’d pair this metallic beauty with a frilly dress for an outdoor wedding. Or maybe even with some tattered blue jeans for a Saturday brunch. $745, at Christian Louboutin, Beverly Hills, California, 310.247.9300; christianlouboutin.com
A little bit preppy, a little bit downtown. $140, at Cole Haan, 800.201.8001; colehaan.com.
