Editors’ Picks: 10 Metallic Sandals for Spring

April 18, 2014

Metallics are an easy route to bold dressing. The slip of a silver heel at the base of a garment is transformative, and its reflective quality is a perfect match for the bright light of spring and summer.

We’ve been taking note of the recent heavy dose of metallic shoes on the market, and, one by one, pairs of copper sandals, gold clogs, and silver pumps have been trickling into the office. Here’s the full reveal:

Above: Justine has had her PePe Silver Sandals ($185) from Makie from years. “Once again, comfortable, effortless style from Italy. They’re great for a summer evening when you want a little something special, but don’t feel like wobbling around in heels.”

Above: Christine just bought a pair of silver clog Sandals from Swedish Hasbeens: “Silver is a good color for summer. In London it can still be cool out in the summer, so I thought colored socks would look great through the cutouts in these shoes; they remind me of the school shoes I wore when I was little.” The sandals are £125 through Shoescribe.
