Sandal Guide for Summer 2008

Stop freaking out about your feet and start shopping!

Sandal season, what a conundrum! We get so hyped up about the plethora of shoes that start coming out in store windows this time of year. But then you look down and realize the necessary maintenance that comes along with those toe-revealing shoes. So sandal season really becomes a synonym for a stressed season of constant pedicures and upkeep, but this year it will be worth it. Jeweled, patent, gladiator, even BOOT-styled sandals are popping up everywhere. From runway to reality, the possibilities are endless. Along with the chance for your opportunity to really make a statement, here's our guide for the summer's hottest accessory influenced by high-profile designers but brought down to affordable prices.

Yikes... those are some seriously ugly shoes... and I tend to have
odd taste in shoes. Those white boot/sandal things just make me
laugh. I can't imagine a "real" person wearing them. They just
don't look comfortable.

It's summer... I want flip flops. Or at least something cute.
I don't understand what's so great about these sandals. They're
disgustingly ugly and uncomfortable looking. Who actually walks
around wearing these? Give me a pair of Rainbows anyday, they're
comfortable, durable, and match with anything you wear.
just imagine the tan lines on ur feet..no thanks.
